THE COMPANY HAS ACHIEVED A REMARKABLE BALANCE IN ITS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OFFERINGS, IN ITS MARKET BREADTH AND DEPTH AS WELL AS IN ITS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED THROUGH A FOCUS ON INNOVATION, FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE AND DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Lynton R. Wilson, Chairman of the Board The year ended March 31, 2009, has been challenging. Despite the widespread impact of the global economic recession, CAE has once again recorded a strong performance: for the first time the military segments won contracts valued at more than $1 billion and our order backlog reached $3 billion. During the past year, our Board welcomed three new members. Marc Parent was named Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and a Director in November 2008. The Honourable John Manley of Ottawa, Ontario, a former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Canada, Senior Counsel at McCarthy Tétrault LLP, was appointed a Director in December 2008. General Peter J. Schoomaker U.S.A. (Ret.) of Tampa, Florida, former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and Commander in Chief, U.S. Special Operations Command joined the Board in February 2009. A former Director of CAE U.S.A., he also serves on the boards of several non-profit and private companies. On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank Mr. Robert E. Brown, our President and Chief Executive Officer, his outstanding management team, as well as all CAE employees for their exceptional contribution to a successful 2008-2009, under trying circumstances. We have every confidence that CAE is well positioned to continue to respond to the expectations of all our stakeholders. Lynton R. Wilson Chairman of the Board CAE Annual Report 2009 | 3 70407_edito_p01_20_eng.indd 3 19/6/09 12:11:42 AM Message to Shareholders CAE’S UNRELENTING PURSUIT OF DIVERSIFICATION, INNOVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS AND OUR STRONG FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE ALLOWED THE COMPANY TO RETAIN A STRONG BALANCE SHEET WHILE DELIVERING ANOTHER YEAR OF STRONG PERFORMANCE. Robert E. Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer Revenues increased 17 per cent to more than $1.6 billion. Our net earnings rose 31 per cent to $199.4 million and our backlog attained the $3 billion mark, setting a record. For the first time, our military orders exceeded $1 billion. They rose 47 per cent, to $1.09 billion, up from $746.1 million last year, the largest military order intake in CAE’s history. Key awards included the Government of Canada’s 20-year contract for C-130J aircrew training, an extension of the Commonwealth of Australia’s contract for training support services and a contract to develop Hawk 128 full-mission simulators for the U.K. Military Flying Training System (MFTS) program. We also added a series of contracts with the U.S. Navy for MH-60S/R simulators and we inaugurated with our partners NH90 helicopter training at the German Army Aviation School in Bueckeburg, Germany. CAE sold a total of 34 full-flight simulators to airlines, training centres and aircraft manufacturers in all regions. We also continued to have success with our CAE 5000 series with new sales to airlines, including Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Avianca Airlines of Columbia and Sofia Flight Training of Bulgaria. We sold another CAE Boeing 787 flight simulator for Air New Zealand for a total of seven to date. In Training and Services/Civil, we secured contracts expected to produce revenues of $464 million. We began operations at our Bangalore, India training centre and expanded our centres in China, Malaysia and Singapore as well as our North East Training Centre in the U.S. CAE signed a long-term agreement with Honeywell Aerospace for civil and military technical training services and extended our authorized training provider agreement with Bombardier Aerospace. We continued to grow our CAE Global Academy as we acquired Sabena Flight Academy and inaugurated operations at the CAE Global Academy in Gondia, India.

It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times. A few years ago the sector had in place a major forward plan that encompassed most of Brazil’s States and most of the airborne service provision and was expected to see growth in re- sources and manpower controlled within a number of complex governing groups [DFNSP, CAVSEG, CONAV, AEAP, SENASP] but when President Rousseff took power in 2011 she swept them away leaving a vacuum.

The main aim of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010 ISU) website is to highlight the organisation, its achievements and intentions. The site provides a point of contact for general inquiries, suggestions, concerns, etc. about the seven thousand sworn security personnel - RCMP and Municipal police officers – em- ployed from across Canada. The ISU is working with its security partners in planning security for the Games, and al- though these plans have not been finalized, this will likely include the deployment of non- RCMP security. For security reasons much of the detail will not be available until after the event.

  • Easa Airworthiness Directive
    EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE AD No.: 2008-0064 R1 Date: 15 April 2008 No person may operate an aircraft to which an Airworthiness Directive applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that Airworthiness Directive unless otherwise agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry. Type Approval Holder’s Name : Type/Model designation(s) : EUROCOPTER DEUTSCHLAND GmbH EC135 and EC635 helicopters TCDS Number: EASA R.009 Foreign AD: Not applicable Revision: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) revises and replaces EASA AD 2008-0064 dated 04 April 2008. Rotor Flight Controls – Tail Rotor Control Rod and Ball Pivot – ATA 67 Inspection / Replacement Manufacturer(s): Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH EC135 and EC635 series helicopters, all models, all serial numbers, if equipped Applicability: with Control rod Part Number (P/N) L672M2005207, Ball pivot P/N 92-201-00 and/or Ball pivot P/N 92-207-00. In 2007, an accident occurred with an EC135 helicopter in Japan. Preliminary investigation results appeared to indicate that loss of control was due to failure of the tail rotor control rod. Eurocopter Deutschland (ECD) issued an Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) to address this unsafe condition, instructing operators to inspect the affected control rod and the respective attachments. To prevent further occurrences of this kind, EASA issued Emergency AD 2007-0301-E, subsequently superseded by AD 2007-0313, to require the inspection and, if found damaged, the replacement of the tail rotor control rod and ball pivot, only for helicopters not equipped with an Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). Reason: After receipt of the inspection results of that AD and further review, it became apparent that the inspection requirements should also be applied to helicopters SUPERSEDEDequipped with AFCS.
