It is common for soaring conditions to be favourable during calm, West or Northwest wind conditions. In all of these cases it can be expected that Ottawa Intl will be using runway 25 and 32 for arriving and departing aircraft. As such, the VNC chart has overlays only for Rwy 25 and 32. Reference can be made to the actual STAR Meech 3 charts for Rwy 07 and 14.
The STAR Meech 3 is a common arrival routing into Ottawa Intl from the North for FMS equipped aircraft, such as B767 or Airbus A320. This STAR services all of the runways (except Rwy 14) and has a common routing up to the YOW (Ottawa) VOR, at which point arriving aircraft fly to runway-specific intersections depending on the runway assigned.
If an aircraft were to remain on this arrival routing, the closest point of proximity to the centre of Pendleton Airport should not have any influence on local flying at the Pendleton airfield.
Meech Arrival - 07/25
Meech Arrival - Rwy 32
Sailplanes are not necessarily seen on ATC radar. ATC may have no awareness of your presence! If you are seen on ATC radar, the raw radar returns from a sailplane are often confused as a flock of birds. It is always considered to be superior airmanship to use the radio to contact the Ottawa TCA periodically to inform them of your position, altitude and intentions should you be approaching any airspace boundary or if you suspect you may be a potential conflict for other aircraft.
For aircraft arriving on runway 32, it is possible to see aircraft on an extended downwind after the WATTO Intersection awaiting other traffic to land or take off before being cleared direct the TEXAN intersection. The WATTO Intersection is located only a few miles from the town of Russell, therefore pilots can expect to see aircraft in the Russell-to-Embrun viscinity when landing on runway 32.
