NAV Canada regularly conducts instrument landing system (ILS) check at Toronto Pearson. This is a routine operation that ensures the accuracy and safety of the country’s navigation aids and instrument approach procedures. The ILS is a precision approach system that provides navigational guidance signals and information on a cockpit display to guide pilots accurately to the point of landing in periods of poor visibility.
The first semi-annual test of 2026 will take place over two nights, on January 20 and January 21, between approximately 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.
We will be posting the information on our Noise Advisory Calendar, and will also be posting a message on WebTrak.
Affected residents can feel free to reach out to the Toronto Pearson Noise Management Office directly if they have any questions or wish to submit a noise complaint:
- Online using WebTrak or the complaint form
- By phone 416-247-7682
Please reach out to us if you have any questions and we’ll be happy to help.
