The VHF radios that provide the critical air-ground-air links in Canada's Air Navigation System (ANS) are about to undergo a major facelift. The radios are used every day by air traffic controllers and flight service specialists to provide information, advice, and instruction to pilots who fly in Canada's skies. They will be replaced in an eight-year, over $50 million dollar upgrade, being conducted by NAV CANADA, the owner and operator of the ANS, in conjunction with Park Air Systems Limited and Sola-Corn Technologies Inc. "Voice communication by trained professionals is one of the key elements in the safe and efficient movement of aircraft," said John Crichton, NAV CANADA President and CEO. "This investment will support the continuous exchange of information between NAV CANADA people and our customers, using what is known as the air-ground-air infrastructure." The project will begin with the replacement of 115 pairs of radios at Calgary Airport, the Toronto Area Control Centre and the Toronto Air Traffic Control Tower at Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
