    AVIATION INVESTIGATION REPORT A09Q0003 CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TREES PIPER PA-28-140 C-FRZH BUCKLAND, QUEBEC 06 JANUARY 2009 The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigated this occurrence for the purpose of advancing transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Controlled Flight into Trees Piper PA-28-140, C-FRZH Buckland, Quebec 06 January 2009 Report Number A09Q0003 Summary On 06 January 2009, at 0446 Eastern Standard Time, the Piper Cherokee PA-28-140 (registration C-FRZH, serial number 28-24825) took off from the Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport, Quebec, on a night visual flight rules flight to the Saint John Airport, New Brunswick, with the pilot and 3 passengers on board. Approximately 20 minutes later and about 38 nautical miles east of Québec, the pilot informed the Québec terminal control unit that the flight was encountering a snow shower. Thirty-six seconds later, the Québec terminal controller lost radio contact with the aircraft. About 3 minutes later, the aircraft disappeared from the radar screen. Shortly after, the aircraft struck the southwest slope of the Massif du Sud Mountain, Quebec. The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) activated on impact. The aircraft was located at 0906. The aircraft was destroyed, but there was no post-impact fire. The pilot and front seat passenger were fatally injured. The 2 rear seat passengers sustained serious injuries. Ce rapport est également disponible en français. - 2 - Other Factual Information History of the Flight At 2237, 1 on 05 January 2009, about 3 hours before taking off from the Arnprior Airport, Ontario, the pilot received meteorological information from the Québec Flight Information Centre (FIC), Quebec, for a visual flight rules (VFR) flight to the Saint John Airport, New Brunswick.

The request that you have made on behalf of the IP sponsors (as per the attachment) is approved with conditions. Subsection 803.01(2) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) requires that the aeronautical information services be provided in accordance with the standards set out in Annexes 4 and 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. According to Annex 15, the material to be issued as part of an aeronautical information product shall be thoroughly checked before it is submitted to the Aeronautical Information Service. To comply with the verification and validation requirements of Annex 15, Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) must be developed in accordance with the CAR 803.02(a) which requires the use of the Criteria for the Development of Instrument Procedures (TP 308). As stated in this document, all instrument approach procedures (IAPs) must be flight checked when they are submitted to NAV CANADA for publishing and distribution. Compliance with the timely initiation of the flight check, required to complete the aforementioned requirement, is not yet possible due to the current COVID-19 isolation requirements. To address the foregoing, Transport Canada approves this temporary deviation from the requirements set out in section 170 of TP 308.

There, gathered about 14's gate, was a curious assortment of individuals, clothed more or less conventionally, but bearing large amounts of photographic equipment, maps and timetables; occasionally, bystanders could detect such phrases as “Lemme see your shot of W-25" or “the over-head’s going up soon” (How can it be overhead if it’s not over head yet? And just what is it, anyway?) which did little to alleviate their curiosity. However, as the gates were thrown open, and the throngs surged aboard number 14, the strange group was soon forgotten in the struggle for seats. Of course, we knew what was going on; we constituted that group, and, safely aboard our “private coach”, were en route to Oshawa, and our second annual jaunt on the electrified Oshawa Railway. The trip to Oshawa was uneventful, save for the periodic expeditions of several members to the Dinette car to examine the etchings of steam locomotives (so they said).

  • Ian Stewart in His Own Words
    Ian Stewart in his Own Words Ian Stewart Preface by Fred Gorbet th WHEN ANDREW AND I SET OUT TO MARK Ian’s 80 birthday, and extraor- dinary professional career, with this festschrift, I volunteered to draft a brief biography of Ian – focusing on the years we worked together, which encom- passed most of the time from 1968 through 1982. This turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated. Ian was a fantastic mentor to me. He hired me directly out of graduate school to join him at the Bank of Canada in 1968. Through long evenings working on the econometric model RDX2, he taught me more about economics and particularly the nature of the economic adjustment process than I had ever learned in university. As time went on and Ian’s focus shifted from research to the practical application of public policy, he never ceased to challenge me with his keen appreciation of the role of analysis in effective policy design and implementation and his enduring sense of fairness and compassion. Yet, when it came to write about this career, I realized that time had erased many memories and notwithstanding our long New Directions for Intelligent Government in Canada 19 association, there were many gaps in the story as I knew it. I turned to Ian and asked for a brief synopsis of his professional life – one that would bullet-point highlights, achievements, challenges, colleagues, etc. I felt that with this raw material I could fashion a tapestry that would illumi- nate the character and achievements of one of Canada’s best economic researchers and policy advisers.

  • Wildlife Strikes to Canadian Aircraft 1.1 How This Report Is Organized
    2008 Summary Report – Wildlife Strikes to Canadian Aircraft 1.1 How This Report is Organized This report provides a summary of Canadian wildlife strike statistics for 2008. It is intended for the use of all stakeholders involved with Airport Bird and Mammal Control Programs. Included in this group are pilots, airfield staff, airline maintenance personnel, airport managers, and Transport Canada staff. The information contained in this edition reflects the 2008 situation only, and therefore may differ from established trends. It should be noted that Wildlife Strike incidents are reported from four major sources, each with a different emphasis. A large portion of the information is derived from Canada’s major international airports, and therefore reflects wildlife strikes for transport aircraft, and within these, mostly commercial airlines. These sources are: i. Pilot Reports: These reports are completed by private and commercial pilots in one of several formats. They are submitted voluntarily and regularly by most airline pilots and emphasize aircraft and flight parameters at the time of a strike. ii. Department of National Defense Reports: Pilots of all DND aircraft and Air Traffic Services personnel are required to complete and submit reports of wildlife strikes. They use forms similar to those used by civilian pilots, but submit them to DND. This information is then forwarded to Transport Canada for incorporation into this report. iii. Airline Headquarters Reports: Airlines submit summaries of wildlife strike incidents to Transport Canada on a voluntary basis. These reports emphasize aircraft damage, repair costs, and the operational effects of wildlife strikes. iv. Airport Site Reports: Canadian airport operators are required to submit reports on all wildlife incidents that occur at their sites.

This paper explores the co-evolution of industrial technology policy learning and the innovation systems life cycle. Firstly, the main findings on organizational learning attributes are presented. Secondly, the process of public policy learning is discussed. Finally, a life cycle approach for analyzing technology policy learning is presented for the Canadian aerospace industry. By discerning the complimentary factors among differing theoretical perspectives, this paper provides a better understanding of the process and evolution of technological policy.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    Oct/Nov 5/04 free flight • vol libre Priorities Kevin Bennett, SAC Pacific Zone Director As a new member of the SAC board of directors, I am looking forward to getting involved in the many␣ ongoing issues we are dealing with in our soaring community. These issues seem to be the same year after year, which should tell us something. Firstly, all these issues (safety/accident record, insurance, membership, etc.) require constant ongoing attention to ensure they don’t get the best of us. Secondly, a constant search for new or different approaches to dealing with each of these issues is required to ensure the best practices are employed at any given point in time. I was personally quite active in Cu Nim and ASC organizations during the eighties and early nineties, but have paid very little attention to the soaring organization in the past ten years as I chose to focus on flying instead. Now that I have jumped back into the ring, I see that the main topics of discus- sion haven’t changed.␣ I look forward to being involved and hope I can contribute. The next SAC directors meeting is November 6 and 7 in Ottawa. Everyone ... please get your two cents worth in to your representative prior to the meeting. One␣ area that has always been a focus for me has been Flight Training and Safety. Over my thirty plus years of flying, I have seen too many of my friends and acquaintances perish in this sport. I have also␣ witnessed many other accidents and incidents that could have also resulted in fatalities.
