Aviation safety capsule: carbon monoxide detector

As you can imagine, preventing carbon monoxide poisoning is a business that requires input from both the pilot and the mechanic responsible for maintaining your aircraft. Here is a short video that shows how important it is. It was produced by the Australian Transport Safety Board and explains the probable cause of the crash of a De Havilland Beaver on December 31, 2017 in the Jerusalem Bay near Sydney. Accident in which 6 people were killed. 

Portrait of aviators from Quebec

Louise Gagnon,  Class I Flight Instructor,

Pilot Examiner for Transport Canada,  Authorized Agent and Linguistic Rating Examiner

For the first portrait of Aviatrices du Québec, I was looking for someone who had left an imprint on many pilots. Louise's choice stood out straight away. Who does not know Louise Gagnon?

Louise is so much a part of the Quebec general aviation landscape that it is more like a legend than a living one. After more than 10,000 hours of instruction, after having trained hundreds of pilots, and having tested more than a thousand, it is normal that we leave an indelible mark !

Training session: Trois-Rivières, September 13, 2020

The Mauricie Pilots Association (APM) held its annual general meeting last Sunday. Following this meeting, Aviateurs.Québec gave a recency training session in accordance with the requirements of CAR 401.05. Twenty-six (26) pilots were thus able to fulfill their regulatory obligation. We would like to thank the APM and the instructor Nickolas Longato from Cargair for assisting us in organizing and delivering this session.

The general assembly as well as the training were held according to the health standards in force. 

The training session focused on risk management in the approach and landing phase. This module was developed by Transport Canada and is an integral part of the General Aviation Safety Campaign. For more information, here is a link to the Transport Canada site: GASC .

Once on the site, we invite you to complete the survey proposed there. Your participation is important and will contribute to the advancement of aviation safety.
