As an example, aâ€"ir traffic controllers at the air- ports are mfnistry of transport employees as opposed to employees of Toronto Airways. As such, it is MOT who have jurisdiction over the pilots once they are airborne. Secondly, the ministry of transport has expressed a willingness to increase as much as they can their inspection role at the airport to make sure the regulations are properly observed. Thirdly, Toronto Airways have co-operated in advising their customers that violations of the operating regulations will necessitate the offender seeking accommodation elsewhere. Not important Fourthly, and most importantly, transport officials in conjunction with Toronto Airways have: (a) {worked out alternate flight circuit patterns to try and relieve the more populated areas from heavy traffic to the greatest extent possible; (b) specifiefl that no turns_ on either arrival or departure shall be made at lower than 500 feet above ground level; and r v (c) no circuits below 1,000 feet above ground level may be made without special authorization by Air Traffic Services. The turns and circuit height provisions will go into effect as soon as possible. Changes to the bircuit patterns are in abeyance, however, 7 pending further investigation. They will be implemented only when agreement of all parties concerned has been obtained. Zoning question The question of land use and zoning has been deferred to a later date on the basis flight operating procedures should be dealt with immediately as this area could give the greatest amount of relief to the largest number of people. The land use and zdning question is much more complex. It ivill have to be tackled in conjunction with legal counsel, and with provincial government representation, at a later date. I believe all parties â€" with the exception of Rich- mond Hill (who reserve the right for further review) â€"â€" are reasonably satisfied the current runway ad- dition is not sufficient to allow a major change in the character of the airport, given present day technology. Generally speaking, it would not be practical for the extended runway to be used to accommodate the types of executive jets currently in use with the ex- ception of the Citation (which, incidentally, is quieter than many of the propeller-driven aircraft currently using the airport). This is an important first step. There was some confusion on this point, particularly with regard to the amount of control which Toronto Airways has over the pilots using their facilities.” Licensing change In addition. airport licensing procedures are being amended by the department of transport to give a Toronto Airways, as operators of the airport, have concerns inasmuch as they must provide the services for which they are licensed but attempt to be “good neighbors" and encourage the pilots using their facilities to be as considerate as possible of local residents. All parties have legitimate concerns. The residents are worried about increased noise, deviations from standard operating procedures by aircraft using the airport, and the prospect of the runway expansion opening up the way for larger aircraft. 'MarEhahl shares' those cancerns of course. but is also worried about the jurisdictional “grey” areas in matters of zoning and land use. O’I'I‘AWA -â€" As those of you who live in the vicinity of Buttonville Airport know, the recent runway ex- pansion has been a source of concern to both the residents and the municipal governments of Markham and Richmond Hill. Anyone else wanting input into the meetings should communicate with Murray Billinghurst at 297â€"2913. He will be pleased to represent their interests. Making progress Significant progress has been made to date. The question of jurisdictional parameters has been established. Ne e d lo gi cal airp orz‘ solu tion Those groups represented include the town of Markham, led by Mayor Tony Roman; the town of Richmond Hill. led by Mayor David Schiller; the Association of involved Residents (representing all affected residents), led by Murray Billinghurst; Toronto Airways, led by Michael Sifton; and an of- ficial of the ministry of state for urban affairs, in view of their interest in the impact of airports on urban and urbanizing areas. A member of the minister of transport’s personal staff, together with a member of my own personal staff, also attend each meeting. Co-operative spirit To date, the discussions have been conducted in a spirit of goodwill and coâ€"operation, which is essential if we are to obtain lasting results. I am confident this atmosphere will continue to prevail. Len Fitton. iegional controller: civil aviation for Ontario, ministry of transport. was appointed as chairman of the meetings. While some of the residents may be unhappy with the fact the meetings are not being conducted in public, I should stress it was the consensus more could be accomplished within a shorter time if discussions were conducted with a small group. The Association of Involved Residents Will épeak for all affected residents. Accordingly, I was successful in obtaining agreement from my colleague, the Hon. Otto Lang, minister of transport. to convene a series of meetings under the auspices of his ministry. Logical approach The logical way to approach this problem, it seemed to me, would be to bring all parties together to try and reach a greater understanding of everyone‘s concerns and attempt to find feasible solutions.
