try this: start by going to the ICAO emission calculator, https://www.icao.int/environmental-protection/Carbonoffset/Pages/default.aspx toronto city center to Sudbury is 54kg of co2 one way. next go to any carbon calculator for your car punch in 592km, and select your car type. you sound...

Why the misrepresentation ? Pickering is a envisioned as passenger jet airport in the current business case I have seen. Oshawa will remain the city owned GA airport in the eastern GTA. Buttonvilles remains the private GA airport, open for as long as it’s owners wish. We need new passenger...

And this is the key point that everyone needs to get, a new airport will reduce congestion and by doing so reduce fuel burn per mile across the board By a large margin! everything From enabling RNP approaches ( the most efficient way to arrive at an airport) to reducing ground idling and line...

Air travels advantage is in the numbers, and the low cost of infrastructure per passenger Km traveled In Canada. But we do need rail where ever possible, VIAs HFR makes sense and should have a stop at Pickering airport. rail and transit need to be part of our TOD ( transit orientated...

Rail is always best but that only covers a a fraction of travelers . ( sorry no trillion $$ European train network in Canada) flying beats driving hands down, no contest: covered this well here: https://pickeringairport.org/time-to-get-real-about-aviation-and-global-warming/

Now for something more positive, could the global warming effects of aviation be cut in half by a simple FL250 EcoHack? Could contrail persistence areas be modeled and avoided like other weather (such as a thunderstorm) and flown around Or under? the science is not there to quantify if or by...

All of the above, but consider this, if instead of saving money by closing Buttonvilles tower and weather this pilot still had both ? one phrase should have been all a low time pilot ( he had a mere 200 hours) needed to hear: ”VFR Flight not Recommended “ Unfortunately enhancing supporting...

Please stop and think of the issues that caused the accident, the challenges faced everyday by normal people trying to exercise their Mobility rights and keep themselves and their passengers safe. I was told that this US pilot landed at Buttonville for fuel and service. That he parked on the...

I agree totally, the website that pushed this ( growoshawa.ca ) is now offline but the idea that oshawa or Buttonville could be expanded is still there. It’s next level misdirection, right along side the idea that all the aviation experts are somehow wrong about Pearson’s capacity. as an...

As McMansions and urban sprawl start to envelop the Pickering airport lands the misinformation about the airport is picking up. A good example of this is suggesting that the older, small GA airport in Oshawa can simply be expand. Anyone buying one of the new million dollar homes now being...

6.4 million travelers flew between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal In 2017. If all air travel was banned on these routes and rail service is heavily subsidize to encourage rail over driving, its only 3 years of growth at Pearson, so pickering is still needed ASAP. This “corridor” has been...

The Substitute effect says the exact opposite, flying reduces GHG emmissions as it replaces a less efficient mode of transport such as driving. People are not going to stop traveling just because Pearson fills up. They simple find a substitution such as driving at 3 times the GHG per KM...

Lol, well yes GHG emissions from cars are a factor too, but the main issue is GHG from airborne aircraft being stuck in a hold or slowed down under flowed control, or forced to use non optimal approachs. idling on the ground counts to . To understand the fuel savings we are talking about...

Will banning air travel in Canada decrease GHG emissions? A bit of critical thinking and common sense tells us the emissions will increase! https://pickeringairport.org/1570-2/

Wishful thinking isn’t enough to stop a project of this size and importance with a solid positive rate of return inline with similar major North America airports. But Air Canada appears opposed to the project ( just like the island airport runway extension, they don’t want the competition) so...

My point is that Jennifer O’Connell has said that she has not seen a business case, when I have been privileged to review several such cases ( I am sure she too could sign an NDA, even as an MP), tells you everything you need to know about what will happen after silly season is over. After...

Locally yes but not from the party leaders nationally. Locally It crosses party lines, supporters include an NDP candidate, most CPC, and PPC, and a liberal that says he would if the business case warrants it ( mark holland ). This is an interesting point. It gives Mark holland and Jennifer...

The Airport again became a topic at the local candidates forum: https://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/9622181-candidates-weigh-in-on-pickering-airport-at-forum/

Try telling that to the local candidates, especially the Green Party. Here is a conservative take on it: https://durhampost.ca/pickering-to-be-gtas-engine-of-growth-mp-otoole
