LYTHALL, Peter Fort St. John, B.C. I have been active in aviation for most of my adult life. As a youngster, I was introduced to general aviation flying with the grandfather of one of my childhood friends. Grandpa was a back-country outfitter and my first experience flying with him was memorable, sitting on freshly oiled yet well-worn saddles and salt blocks in the rear of a rough 172 without any seatbelt; when the baggage door opened in flight, he shouted at me to not fall out. And so it began; I started flying lessons when I was able to drive myself to the local airport. I have been involved in both the experimental and certified areas of aviation, having built a Vans RV-7 kit- plane several years ago. I have had the opportunity to own several certified aircraft and to use these aircraft as of flight time in a variety of different teered as a pilot with COPA for Kids tools for business as well as recre- aircraft as I pursued and completed in Alberta.

Growing up in a generation where many are tied to their electronic de- vices, general aviation and COPA has been a source of meaningful personal interactions, friendships, once-in- a-lifetime experiences and lifelong memories. This, unfortunately, is not the experience of many of my peers, which is why I would like to take on the task, as a director of COPA, to recruit young members.

c opa flight | April 2018 21 newsline Fuel To Flow Imperial Resolves Avgas Issues

Imperial Oil said in early March that it intended to resume making 100 LL avgas after it resolved quality control issues that resulted in an interrupted supply to Canadian customers for much of February and March. The company ordered a quarantine on all fuel shipped between Dec. 28 and Feb. 13 after tests revealed it might not meet conductivity standards which could lead to issues with capacitance- type fuel gauge sensors on aircraft and ground storage fuel tanks. Imperial Oil said it had identified and tested all fuel in the field by March 8 and that 70 percent was fit for use. It had earlier said that the deficient fuel was unlikely to damage any aircraft or fuel dispensing equipment. As those tests proceeded, the company was arranging for alterna- tive sources until it could resume “We recognize this situation has sig- that minimized the impact on piston- manufacturing and predicted that fuel nificantly disrupted the avgas flying engine customers but B.C.’s coastal supplies would return to normal by community and we apologize for this.” areas were significantly affected.

L e 3 février dernier se tenait l’Assemblée générale annuelle 2018 d’Aviateurs.Québec à l’École natio- nale d’aérotechnique, située directe- ment à l’aport de St-Hubert (YHU). Cette rencontre est, pour plusieurs pilotes, un évènement incontournable de l’aviation générale au Québec. Pour l’occasion, près d’une centaine de personnes ont pris part à cette journée. En plus de la portion administrative de l’ordre du jour, complétée dès le début de la matinée, trois conféren- ciers sont venus discuter avec les par- ticipants des drones, du vol de voltige et du vol de brousse. En après-midi, Major Myrian Lafrance, de la base aéri- enne de Trenton, est venue exposer le travail effectué par les équipes de recherche et sauvetage. Finalement, une séance de mise à jour des connais- sances présentée par des formateurs de l’association est venue clore cette journée bien remplie. À partir de 2019, année qui sou- lignera le 40e anniversaire de cette association provinciale, l’AGA devrait avoir lieu au printemps afin de favoriser l’achalandage de ceux et celles qui vou- draient s’y rendre avec leur appareil. D’ici là, vous pouvez consulter le site web de l’association (www.aviateurs. quebec) afin de demeurer au fait des activités et formations organisées par cette organisation active sur le ter- ritoire québécois.

Vehicle Lottery Success Flight 63 Raffles Off New Car

COPA Flight 63 — Tri-County Flying Association in Yarmouth, N.S. held their annual vehicle lottery on February 10 at the Rodd Grand Hotel. As usual, the 444 tickets were all sold and nearly 400 people attended the evening gala. This is not only a great fundraiser for the group, it also involves the three counties which comprise the local community, creating awareness of the aviation community in the area.

Other COPA flights and flying clubs could take a lesson from this

A car dealership (not always the same one each year) and other great sponsors get involved, with many non-members attending the gala. This is a reverse-order draw, with prizes awarded to various numbers such as the 50th, 100th, etc. ticket drawn until down to the last one, which is the big-prize winner. This year, the big winner was Joe Pickett. This is a great example of an ongoing fundraiser for the flying association, but it’s not easy; it takes many hours of work by a few people securing sponsors, selling tickets, promoting the event, etc. One key ‘spark-plug’ for the group is Cliff Gavel, who has taken the lead in this since it started. Leland Anthony, the MC for the evening, has also been doing this since it started. Other COPA flights and flying clubs could take a lesson from this. An annual lottery raises money, involves most of the community and raises awareness of aviation activities.

ACOP Flight 63-Tri-County Flying Association holds a car lottery every year to raise funds for the club.
