Jeppesen Canada Atc Para 76 Upd Review

The most critical aspect of Jeppesen Canada ATC PARA 76 UPD concerns Lost Communication Procedures (LCPS). In remote Canadian airspace, you cannot simply squawk 7600 and land at the nearest field because "nearest" might be 500 miles away.

Impact: Pilots relying on ADF for cross-cutting fixes must now use GPS or VOR/DME. Expect lost communication procedures (LCPs) to shift from beacon tracking to latitude/longitude defined points.
