| TSB investigation report A21Q0052: collision with a lawn tractor | On July 5, 2021, a private Nanchang CJ6A aircraft was on a recreational flight between Joliette and St-Esprit, Quebec. During the final phase of the landing, the aircraft's right wing struck an open-cab lawn tractor taxiing on the runway. The pilot managed to keep control of the aircraft which ended up in a cultivated field on the edge of the runway. The driver of the lawn tractor was fatally injured. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but the pilot was uninjured. This accident underlines the importance of pilots obtaining permission to use an aerodrome when prior authorization is required so that aerodrome operators can coordinate the various activities taking place there so that they take place safely.
In addition, people working near a runway must remain vigilant and always scan the runway and its 2 approaches before entering or crossing it. To view the TSB report, click HERE | We welcome a new board member: Samuel Lambert |  We are pleased to welcome Samuel Lambert to the Board of Directors.
Samuel has been in the aviation industry since 2011, when he got involved in the relaunch of Club Aéronautique Amos. He has worked in the airport industry since 2015 and is currently Director of Operations for the Val-d'Or Regional Airport,2nd largest regional airport in Quebec. He is a graduate of Concordia University's first cohort specializing in the airport management program. He sits on various airport committees in Quebec, works actively on airport environmental issues and works closely with Transport Canada on regulatory reviews and on various projects. He has also been an advanced ultralight pilot since 2017 and owns his own advanced ultralight aircraft - an AeroCruiser. It is not uncommon to see him in an RVA all over Quebec.
Through his experience in the airport environment, his contacts in the industry and his desire to see general aviation radiated as much in aerodromes as in the largest airports, he can certainly advance the mission of Aviateurs.Québec ! | April 23rd 2022 : Annual general assembly | The annual general assembly will be held on April 23rd via Zoom. An official convocation will send to all membres that are in good standing via a separate email. | The city of Saint-Hyacinthe is committed to providing financial support to the NPO that manages the Saint-Hyacinthe airport and also owns it. | Last fall, the city council chose not to go ahead with the municipalization of the airport. Following this announcement, the owners of the airport decided to form an NPO to ensure its survival and upgrading. “Last October 4, in a public session, we indicated that the City would support the initiative, but that it was too early to agree on specific terms. Today (March 14), we are announcing an agreement that will allow the airport to maintain and improve its service offer,” said the mayor of Saint-Hyacinthe, André Beauregard.
