| TSB report: Loss of control and collision with terrain | On 10 February 2021, a privately registered Blackshape Prime BS100 aircraft was conducting circuits on runway 28 at Ottawa/Carp airport (CYRP). After a touch-and-go takeoff, the aircraft began to climb, then started a left turn prior to passing over the end of the runway. Approximately 240 m south of the runway, the aircraft entered a near vertical descent and crashed into a wooded area. The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the aircraft, was fatally injured. The aircraft was destroyed by a post-impact fire.

After several years of volunteering for the cause of the promotion of general aviation in Quebec, André and Normand have decided to give up their place for professional purposes in the case of Normand and André who is entering a new phase in his personal life, a retirement. well deserved. Normand worked as treasurer of the Association. In 2018, faced with a deteriorating financial situation, he was able to raise the bar. Today we owe him a much healthier financial record. André, with all these years of experience as a pilot, and very well known in the pilot community in Quebec, has greatly helped us advance the cause of general aviation. We wish them good continuation in their personal journey. We are always looking for candidates to work either on the board of directors or if you have a particular project that is important to you, join us - we will make room for you on the periphery of the board of directors. We need you to help us fulfill our mission which is to bring together and represent the aviators of Quebec in order to promote general aviation and flight safety, to promote accessibility and to protect the law, facilitate exchange between members and provide access to support, training and information resources.

From its beginnings in Gatineau (CYND) in 2015, the school has now moved to Trois-Rivières in November 2020. The Trois-Rivières airport has become its main base. In October 2021, Pierre-Alexandre opens a satellite base in La Tuque (CYLQ). This base is therefore added to the service offer of the Evolution flight school (and according to Pierre-Alexandre, for a long time!). The school has a fleet of 4 Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawks (of which two of these Tomahawks will be based at CYLQ), 1 Cessna C172M, 1 Piper PA-23-160 Apache. It provides employment for nine people, including five flight instructors, in total. Two of these instructors will be based at CYLQ. The types of training offered at Trois-Rivières (CYRQ) are: recreational pilot license (RPP), private pilot license (PPL), professional pilot license (CPL), multi-engine rating (ME), instrument rating (IFR), flight instructor rating (CFI) while at La Tuque (CYLQ) we will offer: recreational pilot license (RPP), private pilot license (PPL), professional pilot license (CPL). The prospects at La Tuque (CYLQ) are excellent: he plans to create 3 separate cohorts of 8 student pilots each this fall in order to meet the demand that has existed for some time (the last school at CYLQ was an Air Richelieu satellite base almost 20 years ago). Pierre-Alexandre intends to take advantage of the natural Trois-Rivières / La Tuque axis and the "proximity" between the two airports to optimize the coordination of flight operations, the assignment of flight instructors and management of the maintenance of the aircraft of the two. bases. Aviateurs.Québec congratulates Pierre-Alexandre Sénéchal's entrepreneurial spirit and wishes him the best for the future.

Johnny May was born in Kuujjuaq, in Nunavik Quebec, to an Inuk mother and a white father. He started in aviation in 1962, obtaining his pilot's license in Pennsylvania. Orienting his career towards bush aviation, he accumulated over the years some 30,000 flight hours on Norseman, Beech 18, DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter and other types of aircraft. After ten years of flying for St-Félicien Air Services, Wheel-Air and other operators, he returned to Kuujjuaq to found his own company in the mid-1970s: Johnny May's Air Charters May). His father, Bob May, operated outfitters in the area. Quite naturally, his son's planes transported fishermen, hunters and goods to the camps of Pyramid Mountain Camp, the family business. Johnny May also served the various Aboriginal communities of Nunavik, helping to open up the north to modernity and develop the local economy. For Inuit children, every plane in the sky came to bear the name "Yonny-May"! In the mid-1980s, Air Inuit bought the company. Johnny remained chief pilot and director of operations. Following in his footsteps, his younger brother Billy in turn became a pilot and joined the flight crew. The current fleet consists of a DHC-2 Beaver and a Turbo Otter, used to supply the camps of the Safari Nordik company, transport prospectors, caribou hunters, etc., not to mention the countless evacuations medical conditions imposed by the difficult geography of the place. Every Christmas for more than 25 years, Johnny May has also made the inhabitants of Kuujjuaq happy by dropping candy and gifts from the top of his Beaver: an event bringing together the whole city!
