Utilization of Navigation, Surveillance and Communications Services Within the Province of Ontario

Henry E. Brown

Abstract:	The Province of Ontario encompasses a land mass of about one square million kilometers (386,000 square miles) and has a population of approximately nine million people. The majority of the people live in the southern portion of the province with about nine hundred thousand residing in the northern area. A large portion of the province has few roads or railroads for transportation in the sparsely settled areas so aircraft and some water transport are the main methods of movement. Navigation, Surveillance and Communications play an important role in most provincial transportation activity. Transportation in the northern areas outside the highway structure as one example, is provided by aircraft, boats, ships and barges in summer and by tractor trains and aircraft to some locations in winter. This paper is restricted by time and space, so comments will apply directly to provincial government activities in aviation.
