What are the different classes of AVOP permits available at YYC?

The different classes of AVOP permits available at YYC are indeed classified as Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Each of these classes corresponds to specific levels of access and operational privileges within the airside areas of the airport, with varying operational requirements and training protocols.

Class 1 permits typically allow for the most unrestricted access on the airside, including operations in all areas and particular privileges that other classes may not have. Class 2 permits provide access to specific zones and are subject to more operational limitations. Class 3 permits have the most restrictions and are primarily for support roles that do not require extensive airside access.

Understanding these classes is essential for the safety and efficiency of airport operations, as they are designed to ensure that personnel are appropriately trained and authorized to operate within the sensitive airside environment. Recognizing this classification helps in maintaining safety standards and operational protocols crucial to airport operations.
