The Main Terminal at the Oshawa Executive Airport is open during the hours of 8:00-17:00.
The Skyway Cafe is open as well. COPA 70 members often meet for lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Landing fees for small general aviation aircraft are now charged at the Oshawa Executive Airport.
Aircraft weighing less than 2,000Kg are no longer exempt.
From Shane Hartwell, Airport Operations Specialist for the Toronto FIR:
Some IFR flight plans are being rejected due to a mis-communication of upnumbering of YQG SIDs.
The temporary solution is to file the following routes, rather than the SIDs.
COPA is the abbreviation for the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. You do not need to be a pilot to join. Aviation enthusiasts are welcome !
We are the Durham Region chapter, called COPA Flight 70. We include members in the area around Oshawa, from Pickering to Coburg, and north past Port Perry.
We are a group of about 40 pilots who meet monthly, to hear interesting speakers, discuss local aviation issues and share information and education. We also assist other groups such as the Ninety-Nines and the RAA, in aviation activities.
Our primary purpose is to share the camaraderie of flying. We are also interested in promoting aviation and aviation safety.
