Most of the Canadian ATC rules are based on US ones , although I am not sure in this particular case it they are exactly the same .Someone from Canada can confirm or infirm that.
Wow. If I was sat 6,001ft down the runway, stopped, its legal to let a 777 get airborne over me. Please tell me I’m not the only one that finds that utterly bonkers?
