| Safety capsule: Preparing to survive 48 hours
Text by Gilles Jean, photo: Canadian Forces | Do you have what it takes to survive 48 hours if an accident were to happen to you? Do you think this is only necessary for very remote areas? You may remember the many not so distant cases where it took several days, even weeks, to find lost planes in nearby regions such as the Eastern Townships and the Laurentians. We must not take for granted that we will be found quickly. We should all have a survival kit on board. We all have a first aid kit, but a survival kit is also essential and quite different. The obligation to have a survival kit is in fact a law. Indeed, section 601.61 of the CARs stipulates that a survival kit is mandatory and what it should be able to accomplish: Survival equipment - Flights above the surface of the earth CAR 602.61 No person shall operate an aircraft over land unless there is carried on board survival equipment, sufficient for the survival on the ground of each person on board, given the geographical area, the season of the year and anticipated seasonal climatic variations, that provides the means for (a) starting a fire
(b) providing shelter
(c) providing or purifying water and
(d) visually signalling distress. his requirement does not apply if you are flying a balloon, glider, hang glider, gyroplane or ultralight or if you are flying 25 nautical miles or less from the departure aerodrome. The worst enemies of survival are: heat and cold; the thirst; hunger; injuries and pain; fatigue and fear and anxiety. Do you know the rule of 3 in survival? Well here it is : - 3 hours to make shelter
- 3 days without water
- 3 weeks without food.
Personally, I would add one: 3 minutes without insect protection! This rule dictates the priorities and already guides you on what your survival kit should contain. Transport Canada does not stipulate a specific list of survival kits, since these kits differ according to the seasons. You will find on the internet several kit options and good videos on the subject. A good practice to follow is to take it for granted that all that you are sure to find in the event of an accident is what you wear on your person. Indeed, you may not have the luxury of being able to search the luggage compartment for the items you will need to survive. So make sure you have at least enough to make a fire, a knife, a mosquito net, your phone and other items that you deem essential. Have a good flight. | TSB Report A18O0150: Mid-air Collision | With the increasing number of fly-ins, we are publishing this TSB report which deals with one of the major risks during a fly-in: mid-air collision. On November 4, 2018, at approximately 10:10 a.m. EST, two aircraft collided near the Carp Airport, located west of Ottawa, Ontario. These are a Cessna 150, whose pilot was fatally injured, and a Piper PA-42 (Cheyenne III), with two people on board which was damaged but was able to make it to the Ottawa Macdonald – Cartier International Airport, where he landed around 10:30 am EST with his two passengers unharmed.

Text and photos Jean-Pierre Bonin | Zara Rutherford, a 19-year-old British-Belgian girl is currently on her way to South America on a solo round-the-world journey aboard an ultra-light aircraft of the advanced type, a Shark Aero 080 in composite material. As soon as she learned of the project, Sandrine Gressard, founder of “Girls Go Fly” and “Flyée” and treasurer of the Montreal chapter of the 99s, contacted Zara to be its organizer during her stay in Montreal. A remarkably successful orchestration job! Let us underline the enthusiastic participation of the National Aerotechnical School (ÉNA) for the reception in Saint-Hubert. LUX FBO supplied the ground crew and performed a moving water salute while dignitaries and sponsors were subsequently invited to a meal served at HUB FBO. The event was covered by several media, both French and English, providing a great showcase for Zara Rutherford's goals. Its main goal is to encourage girls and young women to pursue their dreams. She wants to close the gender gap in aviation as well as science, technology, engineering and math. She hopes her adventure and the media coverage that will follow it will inspire girls to see her, and other women in aviation, as role models and encouragement for them in their future careers.

Text and photos by Jean-Pierre Bonin | On Wednesday, September 1, Melissa Haney, the first Inuk (Inuit) woman to be a Dash-8 captain with Air Inuit, wrote a new page of history by taking off as captain of a Boeing 737-200 Air Inuit for a commercial flight from Montreal (CYUL) to La Grande (CYGL) then to Puvirnituq (CYPX) and back. Our sincere congratulations on this special occasion.

This event was created in 2011 by Hugo Desrochers. The purpose of this event is to raise funds for the benefit of young children of the CHU de Québec who are fighting against cancer. Hugo Desrochers is an airline pilot for Air Canada and himself battled leukemia at the age of 29. In the form of a day of seaplane flights departing from Lake Saint-Augustin, the event allows about twenty children to fly over beautiful Quebec City under the fall colors, thus allowing them to forget, the space of a few moments, the disease and the treatments. Since 2018, the event has partnered with the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, an organization whose mission is to provide all children with cancer the best chances of recovery by funding research and supporting the development of projects dedicated to cancer. pediatric hemato-oncology.
