Building Aviation Careers Teenagers Tackle RV-12 Project

Work is well under way on an RV-12 in Campbell River, B.C. but it’s more than wings and an empennage that are being built. A group of COPA members is fostering interest in aviation among local young people through TeenFlight. Under the watchful eyes of the COPA members, more than a dozen teenagers are popping rivets and forming sheet metal into what will become a flying aircraft to be sold to fund the next year’s project. The effort began in 2015 and the result was C-FPUN, a nice flying RV-12 that will likely soon be going to a new home. “We have received a deposit on [the aircraft] and it is with mixed feelings that the sale is perhaps imminent,” said Bill Phipps, one of the volunteer pilots working on the project. After flying off the first 25 hours, the volunteers organized an event in Janu- ary to take the teens who helped build “Construction is going much quicker TeenFlight in Campbell River, B.C. completed the aircraft for flights and to encourage this time,” said Phipps. “It is hoped that this RV-12 last year and the second group is the new group of young people who are we will have a flying aircraft before these building its successor at Sealand Aviation. building the second aircraft. students move on to college and jobs.” All the work takes place at Sealand Students who built the first RV-12 are in the industry would entail,” he said.

One of the topics suggested to Lindsay Cadenhead, the Project Manager, was to formally approve IFR for amateur-built aircraft as had been recommended several years earlier. The members of the review project reached a consensus with the result that early in 1995 a Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA 95-03) was published and distributed with comments to be received by the cut-off date of May 30, 1995.

Going for a Short Visit An Invitation to Practice STOL Technique by Nathalie Fortin

In the spirit of living my passion for aviation, I like to gather around other aviation enthusiasts, and one of the monthly meetings I enjoy is the COPA Flight 169 breakfast that is held on the first Saturday of every month at 9 a.m. at Aylmer BBQ (yes you may come!). Over the last year or so, I’ve flown my Cessna 150 to these breakfasts quite a few times, and on each occasion, I’ve met new and interesting people. They come from it.

Flying in the 80s Mosher New Octogenarian President

Cyril Mosher, 81, of New Minas, Nova Scotia, is the new United Flying Octogenarians (UFO) national representative for Canada. Mosher’s interest in aviation began in the 1960s while serving with the renowned Aerospace Engineering Test Es- tablishment in Cold Lake, Alberta. His position as chase photographer involved capturing high-speed video events, such as the release of armaments and other stores, many of which were deployed at supersonic speeds. During his assignment, Cyril flew faster than Mach 2 in a CF-104D Starfighter. Occasionally, after a mission was completed, he was afforded the op- engine and instrument training at what Cyril Mosher, above, is the new national portunity of taking over the controls. is now the Moncton Flight Centre. representative for the United Flying Octogenarians.
