CAR 224.
So this CAR puts all the onus on the PIC for the safe operations of the aircraft. Fair enough.

So where does the man in front of the computer screen with little aircraft symbols moving across it come into the picture?

Does he not pass on to the PIC information, in the form of directions, that to avoid a collision, the PIC should turn to heading, descent, climb, etc. As the PIC does not have the information presented on the screen, he/she cannot comply with CAR 224 even though it would present a danger to the safety of the aircraft.

(b) the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time; and
So what happens when a SPECI is presented to the man with the computer screen that would affect the safety of one of those little aircraft on the screen?

Would not that fall into the same category of information as what is presented on the screen and should be passed on to the PIC?
