By far the biggest point of discussion at our consultations was around the need for better dialogue between COPA in Ottawa and the COPA Flight captains. Flight captains felt the need to be better supported in terms of being able to speak about COPA’s initiatives and other topics of the day.

T he Freedom to Fly Fund was created to guarantee that COPA would have the resources to take on emergency actions, legal or otherwise, in the defense of the Canadian Freedom to Fly. The fund’s most recent success was the defense of aerodromes in Collingwood and Stayner, ON, who were threatened by a proposed wind-turbine farm that would have placed towers unacceptably close to the circuit and approach paths at those airports. Through the Fund, we mounted a successful legal opposition and its proponents abandoned the project. The Fund is also currently being used to defend the proponents of the Mascouche Airport in Quebec. The owners of the airport entered into an agreement with the municipality to relocate the airport in exchange for Since its creation, COPA’s Freedom COPA’s Freedom to Fly Fund fights up to $3 million in financial support to to Fly Fund has enabled some other threats to airports across the country. assist with the relocation.

Everybody considered this material to be highly educational, and we always felt that anything to help us avoid repeating somebody else’s mistake or misfortune was worthwhile reading. I remember the days when every pilot in this country would receive his or her regular flight safety related publication from TCCA. This has sadly disappeared.

Keeping Skies Safe NavCanada Technicians Treated To Barbecue Story and Photos by Pat Hanna

Most of us who fly in Southern Ontario have had to talk to air traffic control- lers at some time or other. The con- trollers, though rarely seen, perform their functions on a continual basis by keeping the flow of air traffic orderly and safe in all types of weather. When we key the mic button to transmit, we also take for granted that the system will work and work well. In a show of appreciation, COPA Flight 26 — The Breslau Flyers, led by Flight Captain Gordon Millar, worked together with Ethan Pulleyblank, Nav Canada’s Toronto manager of technical operations, to facilitate a picnic at the Waterloo airport (YKF) for their staff and families. COPA Flight 26’s pilots offered to fly family members around the picturesque Waterloo region in their personal aircraft as a way of thanking the NAV Canada technical teams. The techs work around the clock to keep ATC’s machinery functioning at peak performance. They are the Nav Canada ‘Engineering Program Delivery’ and ‘Technical Field Operations’ teams. Their combined staffs of roughly 100 are mainly located at the Toronto ACC, and at smaller maintenance centres in London, Hamilton, Timmins, North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. These teams consist of electronic technologists who install, commission The first annual picnic was held in Nav Canada technicians were treated and maintain all electronic equipment July 2016, when close to 100 passen- to flights by the Breslau Flyers.

Youth Movement Attracting New Pilots a Major Concern By Joe Hessberger, B.C. and Yukon Director

It is just past the middle of October as I write this. The fall storms have arrived; the first of many more to come. The officialTV weather guess- ers are already bandying about the words “heavy rain, snow and descending jet stream”.

Les 3 et 4 juin derniers, des jeunes de l’Abitibi ont pu vivre une fin de semaine haute en couleurs grâce aux cadets de l’air, en partenariat avec le Club Aéronautique Amos (Club COPA 200). Se déroulant à l’aéroport d’Amos (YEY), le samedi fut consacré exclusivement aux cadets de l’air des trois escadrons de l’Abitibi alors que des activités destinées à tous les jeunes de la région furent planifiées le dimanche dans le cadre des programmes « Jeunes en vol » de COPA et d’Aviateurs. Québec. Le samedi 3 juin, une trentaine de cadets de l’air ont eu la chance de voler à bord d’un Dash 8 d’Air Creebec, piloté par le président du Club COPA 200, Simon Chouinard, afin se rendre au Rendez-vous aérien des Cadets de l’Air d’Abitibi qui se tenait à l’aéroport d’Amos. Cette activité a été organisée par le lieutenant Christian Leblanc, de l’Escadron 884. Une fois arrivés à Amos, ces jeunes se sont joints aux 70 autres cadets qui s’étaient rendus sur place en autobus pour débuter la journée d’ateliers qui les attendaient. Au menu, six ateliers d’une heure cha- cun qui avaient pour but de permettre aux cadets d’expérimenter de manière pratique et concrète les notions et les connaissances acquises durant leur an- née d’activités à l’escadron. Ils ont ainsi participé à des ateliers sur les drones commerciaux, le contrôle aérien, le Dash 8 d’Air Creebec, la construction d’aéronef et les voilures rotatives (un gyrocoptère ainsi qu’un hélicoptère). Finalement, ils ont effectué un vol en avion où ils ont pu constater de manière pratique l’enseignement reçu durant l’hiver à l’escadron (« run up » moteur, les trois axes et les mouvements primaires, les ef- fets secondaires des contrôles, etc.).
