CaptNabs Answers: What is the (Canadian) Approach Ban?

What is the Canadian Approach Ban? When does it apply? How do I use it? This video explains all about the Approach Ban in Canada. Canada is a little different from most other countries, but if you fly in Canada, you should be aware of how this works.
There is a copy of the Approach Ban document in the link below.

I've taught IFR for several years and this is much clearer than our ground school presentations. Very good.

[@ramjet4025]

I've been instructing for decades and this explaination of the Canadian Approach Ban is first class. Its amazing how professional and knowledgeable flight sim guys can be compared to the wide variety of flight instructors.

[@CaptNabs]

It helps that my perspective on it is real. Not sure why I bring the job home. I guess aviation is just a passion.

[@Warhawk666]

I am self studying for INRAT thank you for this

[@yjl3458]

Very well explained! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@FlyVancouver]

Super clear explanation. Thanks!

[@alexsix3845]

[@sofianelarmusiaux1874]

[@dt10825]

Super helpful video. Definitely solidified my understanding. Keep up the great work.

[@user-fb6ns4zq2r]

Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@joypunkkikic]

Excellent explanation. Thank you for this invaluable resource!! I have a much better understanding. Also, cool scenario to remind of the 60N lat circumstance.

[@CaptNabs]

Thanks! Its sad that it is so sad that I have to make an entire video just to explain it

[@danp1975]

Good to know... thanks! Excellent video!

[@CaptNabs]

Use the knowledge to help fly safe. Let me know if that link stops working.

[@OsagieFrankIgbinovia]

Great Video

[@sharimorrison4902]

Very helpful thank you!

[@nothsim]

This a great video. I hope you continue with these videos.

[@CaptNabs]

Thanks. I have another one almost ready to go. Wish I had more time to make videos these days...

[@manojmohan7264]

Thankyou so much !

[@mikenorm2002]

Great content

[@CaptNabs]

Thanks. I hope it was helpful. I worried by the end that it was getting a little rambling...

[@harmonychiropracticandwellness]

awesome!

[@dt10825]

Just to clarify, am I correct to say the 60 deg N exception only applies to commercial operators?

[@timbarber4069]

So funny...was just explaining this to someone today...

[@CaptNabs]

I'd say I am psychic but I was working on this for about 3 weeks now. ;)

[@UPS1000]

Great video and all along I thought the approach ban only applied to Air Canada approaching taxiway C at SFO.

[@CaptNabs]

LOL. :D

[@RealJ8]

No mention of Ban vs. RWY LOS eh? Could really screw up your day if you don't keep LOS in mind.

[@CaptNabs]

Yep. But thats a whole other can of worms that could have doubled my video. Good topic for another discussion.

[@RealJ8]

@@CaptNabs good intro video nonetheless. Cheers

[@jamilagordon5874]

Do we have to memorize these numbers for the exam?

[@CaptNabs]

Which exam are you talking about? I can't promise this information won't be on an exam. However, depending on the exam, it would likely only cover the scenarios for the flying you will be dealing with, either as a private or commercial operator.

[@WeLoveYouAfrica]

excellent but to fast

[@CaptNabs]

Sorry you feel I talk to fast. I have to try and keep the videos relatively short to remain within the youtube attention span. Please feel free to use the speed control in the bottom right corner if I am going to fast. It sounds surprisingly good even when the speed is much faster or slower. Thanks for watching!
