Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement (CWAS)

Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement (CWAS)

Purpose

The Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement (CWAS) is published annually in March or April with English and French versions available. It contains detailed information for all water aerodromes shown on Canadian VFR charts under the following sections:

• Special Notices and General
• Aerodrome/Facility Directory
• Planning
• Radio Navigation and Communications
• Emergency

Limitations

The CWAS is to be used as a reference for the planning and safe conduct of VFR or IFR air operations to and from water aerodromes. The information contained in this supplement is current only to the effective date. Since CWAS information may be amended or cancelled, NOTAMs and AIP Supplements must be consulted to ensure that the most current information is used for flight operations. Since the CWAS is published annually, pilots should also consult a current CFS to ensure that they are aware of all aeronautical information that may impact their flight.

Note that not all general information contained in the CFS is repeated in the CWAS.
