Changes in Flight Service Station Hours of Operation – Brandon, MB

NAV CANADA, the country's provider of civil air navigation services, conducted an aeronautical study that reviewed the hours of Aerodrome Advisory Services (AAS) and Vehicle Control Service (VCS) provided by the Flight Service Station (FSS) at the Brandon Municipal Airport (CYBR).

The study recommended that the Aerodrome Advisory Service (AAS) and Vehicle Control Service (VCS) be provided for 15 hours per day.

FSS hours of operation at Brandon will be from 1300Z to 0400Z, 1200Z to 0300Z during daylight savings time (0700 to 2200 local time). Outside of these times a Mandatory Frequency will remain in effect.

A NAV CANADA Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) including Digital Aviation Weather Cameras (DAWC) and a Voice Generator Sub-System (VGSS) broadcast will provide surface weather observations (METAR/SPECI) when the FSS is closed, in support of the 24-hour Aerodrome Forecast (TAF).

Flight Information Service Enroute (FISE) will continue to be available from Edmonton Flight Information Centre (FIC) via Remote Communications Outlet (RCO) frequency 123.275 MHz.

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) clearances will continue to be available from Winnipeg Area Control Centre (ACC) via Peripheral Air-Ground Link (PAL) frequency 132.25 MHz.

This change will take effect on 12 June 2025 at 0901Z Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The appropriate aeronautical publications will be amended.
