US Presidential Visit NOTAM Coming Soon

By Cpl. Christianne (Chrissie) Lapointe, Operational Coordinator - Protective Policing, RCMP

Here's the 'Coles notes' version of the NOTAM that will be published next week for 29 June 2016:

  • 12 nm radius of Parliament Hill - No operation of aircraft/UAV fro SFC to 18,000 ft
  • 10 nm radius of YOW - No operation of aircraft/UAV fro SFC to 18,000 ft
  • 30nm radius of YOW - No operation of aircraft/UAV fro SFC to 18,000 ft. A phone number will be on the NOTAM for any aircraft wanting to obtain authorization.
  • If you were around when President Obama came in 2009, the parameters are the same. The altitude is higher this time.
  • We do not yet have the times for the NOTAM but are saying 'daylight hours' for now. Once we get the exact times, the NOTAM will be issued.

I would advise your members that authorizations for the day are unlikely.
