Mans VORTAC YMS 114.5 092X - Mulmur, ON - Ground Based Air Navigation Support Structures on Waymarking.com

This Ground Based Nav-Aid is located in the Dufferin County along a busy flight corridor towards Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

I could not find when it was built but it is one of several ground-based navigation aids being decommissioned as NavCanada moves towards satellite-based navigation :


"Leveraging advances in satellite-based navigation and customer equipment, NAV CANADA is implementing a multi-year project to safely reduce our network of ground-based navigation aids (NAVAIDs) across the country, supporting the transition to a more efficient and cost-effective air navigation system using performance-based navigation (PBN)."

It is listed under Phase 9: NAVAIDs to be decommissioned

More information about this decommissioning strategy:

"Nav Canada Decommissioning of Traditional NAVAIDs Continues"
"A recent study by Nav Canada has resulted in the decision to decommission more navigational aids across Canada. Part of an ongoing program, the current tranche (Phase 9) subject to permanent shut down includes 19 facilities, all but one NDBs. The VOR being decommissioned is the Mans VOR (YMS), located about midway between Collingwood and Brampton in Ontario."
