The proposed changes will introduce new, modern arrival procedures at YVR known as Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) and make changes to associated arrival procedures and routes.RNP AR provides the opportunity to design shorter, more direct routes, enabling aircraft to turn towards the airport sooner. These procedures will support environmental sustainability efforts by reducing greenhouse gases and the overflight of residential areas where practicable.If implemented, some residents may observe changes to air traffic patterns. As a result, NAV CANADA is undertaking public consultation to ensure that communities and businesses can learn about the proposal and provide feedback.This information session will provide residents the opportunity to learn about the proposed changes how to provide their input. NAV CANADA will provide information about the proposed changes and answer questions following the presentation. The public consultation will run from December 6, 2022, until February 3, 2023.
