University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières,

A reminder that our annual general meeting will be held on April 13, 2019 on the campus of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.

We prepare you a busy day. First we start with the annual general meeting which will inform you about the composition of your board of directors, the financial situation of the association, a review of the year 2018 and our plans for 2019. In this overview of activities from 2019:

• We will reveal the details on: our new insurance program.
• The flight companion program will be officially launched.
• You will be informed about the enhanced training and knowledge update program and the cooperation with COPA in the deployment of the general aviation aviation safety campaign in Quebec.

We will also have a distinguished guest in the person of Mr. Francis Mercier, Program Manager, General Standards of Flight, Transport Canada. Mr. Mercier, a veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force as a CF-18 pilot, will be able to discuss the pilot's situational awareness challenges - a vital survival element for a fighter pilot who also finds his counterpart in general aviation. His presentation will also mark the official launch of the general aviation aviation safety campaign in Quebec.

In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to participate in a knowledge update session (CAR 421.05) that will focus on the Aviation Safety Seminar for General Aviation as prepared and made available by Transport Canada. If you want to know more about this program, we invite you to visit the Transport Canada website HERE

LAUNCHING THE ACCOMPANYING FLIGHT PROGRAM

Our coaching program: an opportunity to encourage the next generation, offer coaching and experience the pleasure of flying

Do you often fly alone? So why not give your empty seat to a young pilot who can have an additional experience with his training or another experienced pilot?

It is important to ensure succession and this program aims to make itself known to young people. Plus, do you feel out of your comfort zone for certain types of flights? You have never flown to the United States, you are never going to Toronto; it's been a long time since you've been flying in a remote area; so why not ask for an accompaniment using this app? Or simply for the pleasure of being accompanied or for the pleasure of flying on other types of aircraft than yours.

The majority of pilots fly alone so why not share your empty seat.

In addition, this application will allow pilots to make an appointment for small impromptu meetings. For example, a nice Saturday morning you decide to go to lunch at an airport, you only have to use this application to make an appointment with other interested drivers. The beauty of Facebook is that it is a means of instant communication ... if you have subscribed to the alerts, of course.

The modalities of the program are very simple:

• You join the Facebook group since it is a private group reserved for those who want to drive.
• You sign up for alerts to automatically notify you of offers and requests.
• When you want to offer a seat, just add an event
• The pilot-in-command must have a valid Transport Canada license, his airplane complies with the regulations (certificate of airworthiness, insurance) and the flight is made in accordance with section 401.28 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations.

This program is not intended to be a substitute for any authorized flight instruction program
