19-546: The Dobson Trail is a 57.75 km hiking trail that runs from Riverview, New Brunswick to Fundy National Park . The trail is named for Dr. Art Dobson, who started the initiative to build the trail in 1959. The trail is the longest volunteer-maintained trail in Eastern Canada . Dr. Art Dobson began scouting the trail in 1959, following the standards set out in a publication from the Appalachian Trail conference. Over

38-609: A decade Scout troops from Hillsborough , Riverview, Moncton and Alma blazed the trail under Dobson's direction. The trail was originally referred to as "The Fundy Trail," after Fundy National Park, where the trail led. In the 1960s, the Province of New Brunswick established roadways known as the Fundy trails and Fundy National Park. In 1975 the name was changed to the Dobson Trail to avoid confusion with these other trails. The trail connects to

57-487: A different ICAO code. Pilots typically use high frequency radio instead of very high frequency radio to communicate with a center when flying over the ocean, because of HF's relatively greater propagation over long distances. Military aircraft, however, are typically equipped with ARC-231 SATCOMs that allow over-the-horizon communication. Area control centers (ACCs) control IFR air traffic in their flight information region (FIR). The current list of FIRs and ACCs

76-450: A first-come, first-served basis. Aircraft passing from one sector to another are handed off and requested to change frequencies to contact the next sector controller. Sector boundaries are specified by an aeronautical chart . Air traffic controllers working within a center communicate via radio with pilots of instrument flight rules ( IFR ) aircraft passing through the center's airspace. A center's communication frequencies (typically in

95-477: A plane's arrival and intentions from its pre-filed flight plan . Some centers have ICAO-designated responsibility for airspace located over an ocean such as ZNY and ZOA, the majority of which is international airspace . Because substantial volumes of oceanic airspace lie beyond the range of ground-based radars, oceanic airspace controllers have to estimate the position of an airplane from pilot reports and computer models ( procedural control ), rather than observing

114-689: A single facility. For example, NATS combines the London Terminal Control Centre (LTCC) and London Area Control Centre (LACC) in Swanwick, Hampshire . The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines an ARTCC as: [a] facility established to provide air traffic control service to aircraft operating on IFR flight plans within controlled airspace, principally during the en-route phase of flight. When equipment capabilities and controller workload permit, certain advisory/assistance services may be provided to VFR aircraft. An ARTCC

133-617: A year, 80% of which are either entering or leaving North American airspace. See Media in Greater Moncton See Greater Moncton Transportation There are currently seven schools in Riverview, including one high school, one middle school, and five elementary schools. In December 2011, it was officially announced that a new K-8 school would be constructed in East Riverview that is expected to open for

152-583: Is English, with 90.6% speaking English as a first language and only 7.8% speaking French as a first language. The adjacent cities of Moncton and Dieppe are about 32% and 73% Francophone respectively and have benefited from an ongoing rural depopulation of the Acadian Peninsula and areas in northern and eastern New Brunswick . About 27% of the town population is bilingual and understands both English and French. Riverview has seven main neighbourhoods, each with several smaller subdivisions: The town

171-762: Is served by Ambulance New Brunswick , Riverview Fire & Rescue, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police . Hospital services are located in Moncton , New Brunswick. See Moncton Sport Facilities Riverview Sunfest is an annual festival of events to celebrate the incorporation of Riverview as a town and Canada Day . The town is home to one of seven Nav Canada area control centres , Moncton Area Control Centre, serving air traffic over New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island , Nova Scotia and eastern Quebec. The centre controls all air traffic between Europe and Eastern Canada . This centre monitors over 430,000 flights

190-681: Is the U.S. equivalent of an area control center (ACC). There are 22 ARTCCs located in nineteen states. The flight information region controlled by a center may be further administratively subdivided into areas comprising two to nine sectors. Each area is staffed by a set of controllers trained on all the sectors in that area. Sectors use distinct radio frequencies for communication with aircraft. Each sector also has secure landline communications with adjacent sectors, approach controls, areas, ARTCCs, flight service centers, and military aviation control facilities. These landline communications are shared among all sectors that need them and are available on

209-512: The very high frequency aviation bands , using amplitude modulation (AM) 118 MHz to 137 MHz, for overland control) are published in aeronautical charts and manuals, and are also announced to a pilot by the previous controller during a hand-off. Most VHF radio assignments also have a UHF (225 to 380 MHz) paired frequency used for military flights. In addition to radios to communicate with aircraft, center controllers have access to communication links with other centers and TRACONs . In

228-561: The 2013 school year. Area control center In air traffic control , an area control center ( ACC ), also known as a center or en-route center , is a facility responsible for controlling aircraft flying in the airspace of a given flight information region (FIR) at high altitudes between airport approaches and departures. In the US, such a center is referred to as an air route traffic control center ( ARTCC ). A center typically accepts traffic from — and ultimately passes traffic to —

247-584: The 33-kilometre Fundy Trail at Fundy National Park, which in turn connects to the Fundy Footpath . Riverview, New Brunswick Riverview is the largest town in New Brunswick, and despite being designated as a town it is the fifth-largest municipality in the province, being more populous than the cities of Edmundston , Bathurst , Campbellton , and Miramichi . Though the Petitcodiac River

266-959: The United States, centers are electronically linked through the National Airspace System , which allows nationwide coordination of traffic flow to manage congestion. Centers in the United States also have electronic access to nationwide radar data. Controllers use radar to monitor the progress of flights and instruct aircraft to perform course adjustments as needed to maintain separation from other aircraft. Aircraft with center contact can be readily distinguished by their transponders . Pilots may request altitude adjustments or course changes for reasons including avoidance of turbulence or adverse weather conditions. Controllers can assign routing relative to location fixes derived from latitude and longitude , or from radionavigation beacons such as VORs . Typically, centers have advance notice of

285-519: The control of a terminal control center or another center. Most centers are operated by the national governments of the countries in which they are located. The general operations of centers worldwide, and the boundaries of the airspace each center controls, are governed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In some cases, the function of an area control center and a terminal control center are combined in

304-515: The position directly ( radar control , also known as positive control). Pilots flying over an ocean can determine their own positions accurately using the Global Positioning System or other means, and can supply periodic updates to a center. A center's control service for an oceanic flight information region may be operationally distinct from its service for one over land, employing different communications frequencies, controllers, and
