There's a coyote on the runway! Lizzy & Stella had an interesting flight on July 22nd. The pair attempted to depart CYSN, but their plans were put on hold when Kyle the Coyote decided to appear on Runway 6 at CYSN. What do you do when there's a coyote on the runway? You do a few things: 1. Radio the Tower or Flight Service Station (FSS) to let them know there's a coyote out and about on the runway 2. Let the coyote pass 3. Radio your intentions and take off when it's safe to do so In some cases, wildlife on the runway may result in a Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System (CADORS) filing. These reports help to notify pilots and the public about flight-related incidences and potential safety concerns. In Lizzy & Stella's case, there was only a slight delay in their departure so Kyle never made it into the CADORS database. However, as you'll see in this lesson, other coyotes have. As you'd expect, wildlife encounters in Canada aren't that uncommon. Curious to find out more? You can head here to learn more about CADORS or to query some of the reported occurrences. Just one last question now that Lizzy, Stella and Kyle are all safe. Are you ready to fly? Stella & Lizzy are back up in the air as of July 6, 2023. We couldn't be more excited! Their first flight together this year took them to Tillsonburg to deliver copies of Stella's Stories from around the Globe: Stella & Lizzy take Flight. Interested in buying your own copy? If so, head here for various retailers. Remember to please try and support local. Back to their flight. Tillsonburg is a town of about 20,000 people and it's around 120-minutes (2-hours) by car from Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's a lot faster by plane though, so Stella & Lizzy opted to fly and made the return trip in a little over 100-minutes. That's there and back! They flew from CYSN (St. Catharines Niagara District Airport) and landed at CYTB (Tillsonburg Airport). They then quickly dropped by the books and departed CYTB for CYSN. Are you interested in flying? If so, then you should definitely check out COPA. It's a program aimed at getting young people interested in flight. The flights depart from Welland, Ontario. You get the chance to head up in the air with a pilot for about 20-minutes of flying fun. You can go to their site to find out more. This year's flight is on August 19th, so you better hurry up and register if you are interested in taking part. Let's follow Stella & Lizzy as they head to Tillsonburg & back. Are you ready for another adventure? |
