Hi,

 

Need help from real pilots Montreal area VFR chart. Couple of questions.

 

Using skyvector. 

 

First thing is what are the numbers under the Airport names.

Ex: Montreal St-Hubert 90-78 

 

Second : if I enter Trudeau airspace even at 3500 or over, do I still need to contact control.

 

third: what are the blue hash marks around Mirabel. does it mean it is a restricted zone.

if so, how would you guys fly from Saint-Hubert or St-Mathias to Mont-Tremblant or anywhere in the Laurentians.

 

and last There is a small quarter circle around the St-Jean airport with [30] What is the deal there

 

I think that is all

 

Thanks for any and all help

Ron

While N.American sectionals differs somewhat from those I use here in EU, I'm pretty sure it means Elevation 90ft, longest runway 7800ft

Blue dotted line? That's Class D airspace (class C magenta, class B solid blue). 

Edit: I looked at the chart. You are probably correct. there are a few restricted areas (CYR-6XX) around Mirabel. 

Hard pass from me on how to actually navigate in canadian airspace. Maybe @The Flight Level can chime in.

Edit II: But I will say this, when flying above a control zone of an international airport, you'll most definitely need clearance of some sort anyway.

Think of those airspaces as upside down wedding cake. You are above Trudeau CTR yes, but most likely in someone's terminal area (TMA) instead, and you must be cleared to enter a TMA (not even sure if that term is used in America, apologies)
