A word from Michel

When was the last time you logged into your member profile on the Aviateurs Québec website and remembered to update your information? This information is important to our association. How long have you been flying? How many flight hours have you accumulated? What are your ratings? Do you own or lease your aircraft? These are just a few details, but they are so important for guiding our actions.

Once logged into your profile, click on tab #2 - Mes données and then on the Information supplémentaires tab. Why not take this opportunity to also look at the other tabs?

Thank you so much for your help.

Michel Chartier,
President
