Talk:Sechelt/Porpoise Bay Water Aerodrome

aerodrome vs. general area
There seems to be a bit of confusion over what the article is saying. The actual aerodrome as operated by the DFO is closed. However the area is still in use by float planes. However, just because planes may land in the area or, n exactly the same place as the closed aerodrome, does not mean that the particular aerodrome is still open.

 * Ok, My apologies, I understand the mistake I have made now. How would you suggest I correct my errors but still tell everyone that there is floats that you can dock at too… Coffeerob (talk) 21:13, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * You have done a good job with the section on the current usage. You could if you want add to Sechelt Inlet that this area is used for float planes. I'm not sure but there may be enough information for a Porpoise Bay (British Columbia) article which could deal more with the current flights. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 16:19, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * My other question would be that if we did create a Porpoise Bay page what Airplane Code would be used… I know Harbour Air uses YHS which is the same code as [Sechelt Aerodrome]. Or could we possible redirect the page to Sechelt Aerodrome Page? I don't want give the impression that people can't land and park at the [Lighthouse Pub] Float Plane base either. Locally there is a group of people who moved to the shoreline of the Inlet and now want to stop the float planes from landing… My response is they are been there for 35 years and you moved here knowing they land everyday… So seeing that the Aerodrome is abandon kinda supports there stupid reasoning.

 * You wouldn't need to use a code but you could mention that Harbour Air does use the YHS code. A link to the Lighthouse Pub article from Porpoise Bay would be a good idea as well. I'm not sure where I read it but I know Transport Canada says that with a few exceptions all of Canada is an aerodrome. So even though it is closed aircraft can still land there. However, landing in some places, such as the lake we get our water from, will get a pilot in trouble. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 07:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
