Design and Development of Montreal and Ottawa STOLports

The Canadian Ministry of Transport has embarked on a program to provide a downtown-to-downtown scheduled IFR STOL service between Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa, Ontario.

As part of the total systems approach to the development of the service, two STOLports were designed and built. Preliminary standards and criteria were developed to enable the design to be carried out. New electronic approach aids and modified visual aids are incorporated into the system.

The STOLports will be completed and operating by March 1974.
