COLD LAKE - An Advanced Tactical Aviation Course will be taking place at 4 Wing Cold Lake, which will result in an increase in air traffic from April 11 to May 16.

The increased traffic will include CH-47 Chinooks and CH-146 Griffons conducting training.

The course is "an intensive program that prepares aircrew to plan and execute complex missions in modern operational environments," reads information from the Canadian air force base.

The statement adds, "4 Wing is always mindful of our Lakeland community neighbours and this type of training is not intended to disrupt, and efforts will be made to minimize noise over the City of Cold Lake. Always carefully planned and closely controlled to ensure public safety, this type of training provides valuable and legitimate training to maintain collective readiness and operational effectiveness."
