| How to keep your skills up to date | At the beginning of the year, how about checking that our licenses are up to date? Because no, they are not automatically. We remember that the pilot has the obligation to keep his licenses up to date to maintain his privilege to fly. Here's a Transport Canada poster to help you remember how. Click HERE Good idea to spread the word to your pilot friends and to display in your flying clubs or schools. A reminder that Aviateurs.Québec offers a training program accredited by Transport Canada for updating knowledge. This program, in the current circumstances due to COVID, is available via video on demand on the platform of our partner AVPBOX.

Photo: Airplane (1980) | Decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Bel-Air Aviation vs Coalition contre le bruit (Lac-à-la-Tortue) | After a legal journey that lasted almost eleven years, Bel-Air Aviation won its case once again, while the Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the Coalition contre le bruit (Lac-à-la-Tortue). The judgment is available HERE For an article from Le Nouvelliste, click HERE | TSB report A17P0007 - Collision with trees and power lines after rejected landing | The procedure to follow in the event of a go-around is a maneuver that requires a certain skill that can only be acquired through practice. In our issue of January 5 , we reported an accident following a go-around which had been badly carried out. We thought we would provide you with another case that is better documented thanks to the TSB's investigation. On January 19, 2017, a Cessna 172 (registration C-GZXB, serial number 172S8141) operated by the Victoria Flying Club departed Victoria International Airport, British Columbia, for a daytime training flight under the rules visual flight. An instructor and a student pilot were on board. Approximately 1.5 hours after takeoff, the aircraft approached Runway 31 at Duncan Airfield, British Columbia, for a short landing. At 1:11 pm Pacific Standard Time, the aircraft touched down approximately one-third of the way down the runway. The flight crew attempted to brake, then attempted to resume flight. The aircraft struck trees, then power lines near the north end of runway 31 before coming to a stop atupside down under the power lines, about 500 feet from the departure end of the runway. The instructor was seriously injured, and the student suffered minor injuries. The aircraft was heavily damaged and its emergency locator transmitter activated. There was no fire.

Click HERE Photo: Claude Roy | Nav Canada: NAVAID decommissioned, January 27, 2022 | The objective of the NAVAID Modernization Program (NMP) is to achieve the largest realignment of the air navigation system ever undertaken in Canada to define a network of ground-based navigation aids that will complement satellite-based air navigation services fully in service. As part of this program, the following NAVAIDs in the CZUL flight region will be decommissioned on January 27: Matane (ME) - NDB
Schefferville (YKL) - VOR
Tasiujaq (YQT) - NDB
Schefferville (KR) - NDB For a complete list, click HERE | Transport Canada and the impacts of 5G technology on aviation | We can regularly read in the media the growing concern of regulatory authorities as well as airlines about the impacts of 5G technology on aviation. Transport Canada, in conjunction with other regulatory authorities, has issued an Airworthiness Directive (CF-2021-52) prohibiting the conduct of activities requiring the use of a radio altimeter in the presence of interference from 5G service technology C-band broadband wireless. It's serious business for commercial aviation.

SERABEC brings together aircraft pilots, navigators and observers trained for aerial research. Members receive training in the areas of aviation safety, weather, survival techniques, and air and ground visual and electronic search procedures. To find out more, click HERE | Renewal of category 4 medical certificates | A reminder on the procedure to follow. Physical and mental fitness for a Category 4 medical certificate is established by completing Form No. 26-0297, Medical Declaration for Licenses and Permits Requiring a Category 4 Medical Standard. A reminder that in order to be eligible for a category 4 medical certificate, you must not have any medical conditions that are listed on this form. This document (26-0297) is available HERE . It is recommended that pilots submit a request for a Category 4 Medical Certificate by email to their appropriate Regional Service Center whose email addresses can be found by clicking HERE . Medical statements should be sent to the regional service center and not to Civil Aviation Medicine to avoid unnecessary delays. Transport Canada agrees to respond within 60 days of receiving the request. The age of the applicant and the type of permit or license applied to determine the frequency of medical examinations necessary to meet physical and mental fitness requirements. The period of validity of a medical certificate is calculated from the first day of the month following the date of the medical examination or the medical statement. We also learned from Transport Canada that the 90-day exemptions for logbook signatures will be renewed in January 2022. So don't worry, your logbook is still valid even if you haven't received the label.
Similarly, those who have a card that expires, the exemptions will be renewed as well. Transport Canada should decide on the new timelines shortly. | Here are links that will take you to the latest editions of these publications.
