5 Wing Goose Bay would like to advise the public that the Practice Target Area, including its ranges, will be activated from January 24 to February 23, 2017.

This area is located approximately 100 km south west of Goose Bay with no road access and it is surrounded by a Safety Template Area. Aircraft will also operate within the flying training area over Labrador and Quebec to include the Practice Target Area.

5 Wing is warning the public to remain outside the Safety Template Area at all times. Even if remotely located, the Safety Template Area is clearly outlined by a continuous cut line and sign-posted at regular interval.
