CYOO Runway 30 Departure From Bravo
New Departure Terminology
Nav Canada has issued a directive, that prior to issuing taxi instructions, the Oshawa tower query all aircraft planning to depart runway 30 from taxiway Bravo, that they are able an intersection departure with 4195 feet remaining.
This can be avoided by including "able departure from Bravo" when calling for taxi instructions.
Doing so will reduce radio chatter, thus allowing for safer, effective communications.
