CANADIAN STOL DEMONSTRATION -- THE DATA COLLECTION, THE FINDINGS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

The Canadian Government sponsored a STOL Demonstration Service to commercial air carrier standards between the cities of Montreal and Ottawa between August 1974 and March 1976. The objectives of this program were to test the technical feasibility and public acceptance of STOL systems. The Canadian Air Transportation Administration (CATA) STOL Project Team conducted a data collection and monitoring exercise capable of providing the information required to establish the technical standards and operational procedures for STOL transportation. This paper describes the demonstration operating concepts and the data collection exercises and summarizes the results, showing how they will be used to make recommendations for the regulation and control of future Canadian STOL systems.
