Runway 14 Runway 14 is currently the least used runway for arrivals into Ottawa International Airport. There is no STAR to the runway currently. Air traffic controllers provide pilots with control instructions to bring them to the final approach path. The graphic below shows actual runway 14 arrival tracks showing typical flight patterns. * Note only aircraft operating into and out of Ottawa International Airport are included. Aircraft operating into and out of nearby airports including Rockliffe, Carp, and Gatineau airports and others are not displayed. Despite the fact that the runway is rarely used for approaches, there are advantages for both the efficiency and predictability of operations to designing STARs for runway 14 approaches. The following map shows the planned routes:
Runway 25 Runway 25 receives approximately 30 per cent of the arrivals at Ottawa International Airport. The map below shows current arrival routes with approximate altitudes depicted. The lightly shaded colours show those areas where aircraft regularly operate off of the actual STARs for traffic management reasons. The density of traffic in these areas is usually lighter than on the routes themselves. The following map shows the planned changes to the arrival routes:
Runway 32 Runway 32 is the predominant runway used for arrivals, accounting for approximately 40 per cent of arrivals at Ottawa International Airport. The map below shows current arrival routes with approximate altitudes depicted. The lightly shaded colours show those areas where aircraft regularly operate off of the actual STARs for traffic management reasons. The density of traffic in these areas is usually lighter than on the routes themselves. The following map shows the planned changes to the arrival routes:
Runway 07 Runway 07 receives approximately 30 per cent of the arrivals at Ottawa International Airport. The map below shows current arrival routes with approximate altitudes depicted. The lightly shaded colours show those areas where aircraft regularly operate off of the actual STARs for traffic management reasons. The density of traffic in these areas is usually lighter than on the routes themselves. The following map shows the planned changes to the arrival routes:
