CHRONICLE ON AVIATION SAFETY

Do you know the minimum maneuvering speed of your plane?

A large number of fatal accidents are due to a take-off stall, go-around or landing. Why are these pilots so surprised and how can we avoid being surprised? Commercial pilots use the  term minimum  maneuvering speed ; not to be confused with Va, the maximum maneuvering speed that is set in the POH as the maximum speed at which the use of steep controls can be applied.

Commercial pilots use what they call <minimum manoeuvring speed> or minimum maneuver speed  . This is the minimum speed that will allow you to maneuver your aircraft including a turn at 30 ° inclination.

Take the example of a Cessna 172.

• The stall speed at 2300 lbs load, without flap is 57 mph.
• The recommended climb speed is 75-85 mph; the stall speed multiplied by 1.3 (74.1 mph).
• On landing the recommended speed in the POH is 70-80 without flap and  65 full flap. (1.3 * 49 (full stall speed) = 63.7).

These are the speeds we use for take-offs and landings. But what we forget is that these are recommended speeds for normal conditions and in the final with straight wings.

If you add a 30 ° turn, the stall speed increases by 8% and is now 62mph. At 30 ° incline, the speed giving you the safety margin will be 81mph, or 1.3 the stall speed at 30 °.

If you are at 70mph speed in downwind in preparation for your landing and you are about to make a base turn at 30 ° turn the safety margin is very thin, too thin.

And if the pilot realizes that he will not line up in the final and decides to adopt a 45 ° inclination, the stall speed will be 68mph. If the winds are variable with squalls, this 45 ° turn in base at the recommended speed of 75mph could be the last. Every year pilots are surprised.

Here is a short video, courtesy of Flight Chops. It illustrates the concept of minimum maneuvering speed and shows how to apply it in situations such as go-around.

It also shows that it takes only four to six seconds for the stall to occur. So, the slightest hesitation could lead you to dropping out. And recovery from an altitude based stall is almost impossible. It also shows the importance of developing good reflexes. And only practice will allow you to develop good reflexes. When was the last time you performed these emergency maneuvers? What is your minimum speed  of maneuver?

In conclusion, just like the video,  the purpose of this capsule is to initiate your reflection on the subject. We suggest that you continue with an instructor and go out and practice these emergencies with your instructor. It will probably be a hundred dollars well invested.

DISCOUNT ON GLOBALSTAR, IRIDIUM AND GARMIN EQUIPMENT 

THE MOST IMPORTANT IN EMERGENCY SITUATION is SURVIVE! ... Then, it's to be FAST FIND! As you know, no matter where you take off, it's about flying 10 to 20 minutes to overcome it to be above inhospitable regions. In Quebec, even if it is successful, a forced landing in the forest can become an extreme survival test for any pilot. The importance of being located quickly will make the difference between life and death.

Redundancy of instruments is a basic principle in aviation. We believe it should be the same for the distress beacon. The ELT 121.5 is making way for the 406 and soon other options will be available but what about redundancy?

Several technologies using satellite networks already exist. These technologies are portable and improve from year to year. Technology now makes it possible to stay in touch via text messaging at very reasonable costs when compared to the costs of using satellite phones.

AVIATORS.QUÉBEC ANNOUNCES ITS FALL RECENCY TRAINING PROGRAM

As part of its core mission to promote aviation safety and under the auspices of the  Laplante-Duggan Fund, Aviateurs.Québec announces its annual training program. The program is multi-faceted and is intended to provide both training that can be used as credit for updating knowledge (CAR 401.05) and training of specific interest such as the use of Foreflight.

Here is the autumn program:

• Risk management on takeoff and uphill. This training is recognized as meeting the requirements of CAR 401.05 - recency training. It covers the different stages in this first phase of a flight:
  • Pre-flight planning
  • Airplane performance
  • Takeoff rejected / Decision point
  • Winds across
  • Obstacles
  • Engine failure on takeoff
  • Take-off accident case study (TSB report)
• Winter weather and decion making in unfavorable meteo conditions . This training is recognized as meeting the requirements of CAR 401.05 - recency training.The topics covered are:
  • Fronts (link with winter weather)
  • Pilot decision making
  • Services offered by a NAV CANADA Flight Information Center (FIC)
• Using Foreflight. This training will lead you to improve your level of comfort in the use of Foreflight. Revamped content to reflect the latest software enhancements by Foreflight

The calendar is the following. To register, click on the session that interests you in the following list:

• Risk management on takeoff and uphill.
  • November 16: CEGEP Lionel-Groulx, Sainte-Thérèse
  • November 24th: Neuville aerodrome

LACHUTE AIRPORT HIGHLIGHTS 100 YEARS OF EXISTENCE 

OPEN HOUSE AT TROIS-RIVIÈRES AIRPORT

The Mauricie Pilots Association and Innovation and Development Trois-Rivières invites you to an open house at the Trois-Rivières Airport on October 26 from 10:00 to 17:00.

AEROPARK PROJECT AT THETFORD MINES AIRPORT

Economic Development Corporation of Thetford Mines, the  promoter  of an air park at the airport in Thetford Mines, would like you to take 2 minutes of your time to learn about your interest and recruit potential participants for a discussion group (Focus group) concerning an aeroparc project.

This follows a survey conducted in the spring of 2019, which you may have already participated in. 

A $ 70 renumeration is offered to each participant in the focus group.

This study, conducted in collaboration with Aviateurs.Quebec, has been entrusted to the firm Expérience Stratégique LC by the Economic Development Corporation of Thetford Mines. Please answer the following 3 questions, if you are interested in this project by clicking on the following link:

For any other question about this approach or survey, please contact luc.caron@experiencelc.com .

We thank you very much for your valuable collaboration!

A REMINDER - NEW FORMAT FOR NOTAMS THAT COME INTO FORCE ON OCTOBER 10, 2019

As of 10 October 2019, the format of national NOTAMs will change to the format of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The adoption of the ICAO NOTAM format, already used by most countries, will ensure compliance with international standards and avoid pilots on international routes having to know more than one NOTAM format. It will also pave the way for more advanced filtering functions, reducing NOTAM congestion by helping pilots access only relevant NOTAMs for their flight. One of the main differences between the ICAO NOTAM format and the previous approach is that NOTAMs will now be based on geographic coordinates rather than NOTAM files.

The geographically marked NOTAMs are now accessible from the Collaborative Flight Planning Services (CFPS) site, a weather and NOTAM recovery and flight planning platform.

The CFPS site now integrates meteorological products such as METARs and TAFs, in addition to NOTAMs, into a new tab called Weather . The CFPS site is designed to facilitate the recall of meteorological products so that METARs, TAFs and NOTAMs can be recalled in one query. The Weather tab will be accessible without a CFPS account identifier, but you will need an identifier to use other functions such as pre-defined NOTAM queries, as well as to file flight plans online.

As of October 10, 2019, NOTAMs will only be available in the CFPS system and this feature will be removed from the Aviation Weather Web Site (AWWS).

Visit Nav Canada's website  to learn more about this change.
