Pant, no one doesnt have to do any of this stuff at most airports in Canada, only at such places as Toronto {not really a part of Canada} Vancouver, Ottawa and a few other spots populated by Nimbys, at Ottawa even Q400s are told to turn final at the OM, WTF? you cant even hear them on T/O over the downtown traffic! Thankfully at most of our airfields reason prevails , unless of course someone from TC reads your post and dreams up another rule.In Toronto the mayor did his best to shut down the downtown airport, now used by Porter to run their hub from, Im not allowed to land the Challenger there {no jets} but can go in with an MU2 or Cessna piston twin, go figure that one out! Our local warplane collection joins with the clasic overhead break, by far the safest and a very quiet way to land anything, more fun too! So to sum up the procedures vary from place to place, the further North one goes the less the restrictions, up there they understand aviation is more than big silver tubes going some place warm in the winter!
