DEPARTURE SEQUENCE

Departure sequence
Departing aircraft may be expedited by suggesting a take-off direction which is not into the wind. It is the
responsibility of the pilot-in-command of an aircraft to decide between making such a take-off or waiting for take-off in a
preferred direction.
If departures are delayed, the delayed flights shall normally be cleared in an order based on their estimated
time of departure, except that deviation from this order may be made to:
 a) facilitate the maximum number of departures with the least average delay;
 b) accommodate requests by an operator in respect of that operator’s flights to the extent practicable.
 6.3.3.3 Air traffic control units should, when practicable, advise aircraft operators or their designated representatives
when anticipated delays are expected to exceed 30 minutes
