Changes to Booking Calendar

Standby Bookings

A new booking event type has been added to the Booking Calendar called CMQ Standby Bookings. This new class of booking is designed to allow you to book CMQ on a 'Standby' basis in the event that the primary booking is cancelled.

A good example of a standby booking would be when someone has booked CMQ with the intent of making a long cross country flight. Often these flights get cancelled due to the weather en route even though a local flight could be made. In such an event, the standby flight booking would occur.

» See the Calendar page for further details.

Monitoring 121.5

As of 1 February, 121.5 MHz is no longer being monitored by satellite. The club will be replacing our current 121.5 MHz ELT with a 406 ELT sometime within the next 2 years. When depends on the transition period that Transport Canada establishes. In the interim ELT alerting will rely on passing aircraft picking up the 121.5 MHz signal as no one else is listening. As CMQ is equipped with dual radios all pilots are encouraged to tune & monitor 121.5 whenever possible.
