5. DESIGNATION OF CLASS F AIRSPACE
Class F airspace, as designated in Part 5, is excluded from all airspace designated in Part 3.
Each Danger, Restricted and Advisory Area within Canada has been assigned an identification code group which
consists of four parts as follows:
Part a) will consist of the nationality letters "CY"; and
Part b) will consist of the letter "D" for Danger Area, "R" for Restricted Area or the letter "A" for Advisory Area;
and
Part c) will consist of a three-digit number which will identify the area. This number will also indicate the region
of Canada within which the area lies according to the following table:
101 to 199 - British Columbia
201 to 299 - Alberta
301 to 399 - Saskatchewan
401 to 499 - Manitoba
501 to 599 - Ontario
601 to 699 - Quebec
701 to 799 - New Brunswick
- Nova Scotia
- Prince Edward Island
- Newfoundland & Labrador
801 to 899 - Yukon Territory
901 to 999 - Northwest Territories and Nunavut (including the Arctic Islands)
Part d) will, in the case of Advisory Areas, consist of the letter A, F, H, M, P, S or T in brackets after the three
digit number to indicate the type of activity within the area as follows:
A - Acrobatic
F - Aircraft Test Area
H - Hang Gliding
M - Military Operations
P - Parachuting
S - Soaring
T - Training
e.g. The identification code group CYA113(A) is as follows:
CY - indicates Canada
A - indicates Advisory Area
113 - indicates the number of the area in British Columbia
(A) - indicates acrobatic activity takes place within the area
The whole code group would be deciphered to read: "Acrobatic activity in Advisory Area 113, in British Columbia,
Canada."
