While listening to the Waterloo Control Tower feed, do not expect
constant transmissions. During poor weather, high winds, and during the
winter months, traffic volumes will decline.
Recreational
and training aircraft will be restricted with
visibility reported at less than 3 miles, and a ceiling of less than
1000 feet. Traditionally, January and February record the lowest traffic
volumes. During the summer,
complete frequency saturation is not uncommon.
Checking the local Kitchener weather
will give you a good idea of what to expect in the way of traffic volumes.

Total air traffic movements
for 2012 were approximately 104,000 (up 7% from the previous year), the
bulk of which are light recreational and training aircraft. With the
longest runway at 7000 feet, the airport easily accommodates all manner
of business class executive jets, and scheduled Westjet Boeing 737
traffic. |
