There are no controllers, but there is highly trained person in the tower, dispensing altimeter settings, and traffic information, and generally doing everything a tower controller does except issue clearances and instructions. They didn't want to listen through that tedious NOTAM that every Canadian airport with a STAR has up right now.

Review weather, NOTAMs, and airspace details. The best method is consistent altimeter checks and verifying your position using visual references or landmarks. Maintaining regular altimeter checks. Poor flight planning. Fuel miscalculations. Calculate performance data (weight & balance, fuel). Incorrect cruise altitudes.

Cross-check the chart notes with the destination NOTAMs. ATIS broadcasts usually include active runways, available approaches, important NOTAMs, and the weather. Use the weather (along with the NOTAMs) to ensure your chosen approach is still the best choice. Set your altimeter bug accordingly. Is the ILS operational?
