| Aviation Safety Capsule - Emergencies | We all wish we never fiund ourselves in an emergency situation, but unfortunately it happens ... and not always just to others! The best advice: expect it and be prepared to deal with it. Obviously, the first objective is to avoid emergencies as much as possible. Proper maintenance of your device, good planning and good judgment will greatly reduce the likelihood of finding yourself in an emergency situation. Planning and judgment are particularly useful to avoid ending up in VFR flight situations in IMC conditions. If despite good planning you get caught in BMI conditions, do you know what to do? Are your instrument flying skills up to date? If they are not, the probability is that you will have 176 seconds to live! Do you know how to contact TAC for help? Is your action plan clear in your mind? It should be! It should be part of your planning. There are, however, emergency situations that are not predictable such as engine failure on take-off or in flight, the need for throttle release, equipment breaking, etc. For these situations, one simply needs to be prepared to deal with them. To be prepared, you have to practice! When was the last time you practiced emergencies? When was the last time you reviewed the list of actions to be taken in different emergency situations? You might be surprised and helpless if you don't. In an emergency situation you will not have time to read procedures and there is no room for hesitation. For example, during an engine failure in the initial climb, you will have 4-6 seconds before stalling if your reflex is not to immediately lower the nose. Four seconds, it passes quickly! You should know your emergency procedures by heart. In shorts: - Good planning is essential
- Good judgment is paramount. As the saying goes: <It's better to regret not being taken off than to regret having done so>
- Practice is the only way to be prepared for an unforeseen situation.
- You need to master your procedures.
Security cannot be improvised. Good flights! Adapted from a text by Gilles Jean | Major change in common frequency zones (CFAs) around Montreal coming on June 19, 2022 | Keep an eye out for our special newsletter coming next week, outlining the major changes that will come into effect on May 19 on new air navigation charts in the Montreal area. Indeed, Aviateurs Québec, in collaboration with TC, COPA and other stakeholders in the field, wanted to increase safety by looking for a clear and simple alternative to the 126.7MHz frequency, often congested in this region of southern Quebec. The river played a natural demarcation role to help us clearly define 2 new areas. Keep an eye out, we'll have the official changes to present as early as next week. | April 26, 2022: Annual General Meeting via Zoom | Annual General Meeting will be held on April 26 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom.

Photo: Hughes Drouin Ville de Saint-Georges is protesting against the Canada Border Services Agency, which is delaying reauthorizing the CANPASS customs clearance service at Saint-Georges airport. Remember that the customs clearance service was interrupted in many regional airports in 2020, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in recent months, the Agency has authorized certain airports to offer this service again. However, the airport of Saint-Georges is slow to obtain the Agency's approval, thus causing enormous losses for Beauce companies and the Georgian airport.

uAvionix receives an STC for its tailBeaconX | uAvionix announces that it has received the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and Initial Approved Model List (AML) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the revolutionary tailBeaconX 1090 MHz ADS-B transponder. According to uAvionix, the tailBeacon meets NAV Canada requirements. For the Canadian market, the tailBeaconX will initially be available for 336 FAA AML models, whose type certificates have been accepted in Canada without the issuance of an equivalent TCCA type certificate (see T ransport Canada list of eligible aircraft ). STC validation for 56 additional models has been filed with Transport Canada and is expected to be approved shortly. The tailBeaconX is a highly integrated 1090 MHz ADS-B transponder that replaces a tail navigation light by combining it with an ADS-B OUT / Mode S transponder, SBAS GPS, antennas and LED tail position light. The initial STC-AML uses the uAvionix AV-30-C multifunction display to be installed as the control head. In this configuration, the AV-30-C is able to take advantage of the tailBeaconX SBAS GPS for its GPS track display. In the future, uAvionix plans to add additional means of control through uAvionix and third-party devices.
