Two Aviateurs Québec administrators distinguished themselves at the last AQTA congress

At the banquet dinner on April 30, the AQTA highlighted the quality of both theoretical and practical training at two private flight schools: the Roland Simard Prize awarded to the best private school (helicopter) and the Pierre Rivest Prize awarded to the best private school (airplane).

This year's winners are: Passport Hélico (helicopter) and Altitude Centre de l'aviation (airplane). They are both corporate members of Aviateurs Québec and also sit on the Aviateurs Québec board of directors. Congratulations to both of you and your respective teams, and thank you for your contributions to our association.
