REVIEW ON AVIATION SAFETY

THE TURN THAT KILLS

According to Transport Canada, nearly 30 percent of fatal accidents are due to a loss of control during take-off or landing. And often they are experienced pilots. How to explain that? You better understand what is happening because it could happen to you!

Aviateurs.Québec will publish a feature article on this topic as part of its program to promote aviation safety that was launched following the many accidents that occurred this year.

Take a look at this video taken in Oshkosh this year.

It is clear that the pilot is late in the final and his approach is not stabilized. He seems to have a steep descent angle and he is not aligned for the final and decides to make a 45 ° turn to what can be seen. At the same time, he seems to pull on the stick to correct his rate of descent which decreases his speed. He is probably at stall speed. We see the nose sting. It achieves it in time by putting the gas in recovery. He came close to it.

This is the classic example of the pilot whose approach is not stabilized, who is preoccupied and stressed and who tries to correct. Several accidents occur during a turn at a high angle during the turn in the final. The pilot realizes that he is not aligned and tries to correct by a sharp turn at 45 ° or even 60 ° while raising the nose to keep his altitude. The result: the speed decreases and the plane picks up. At this altitude, it is unlikely to recover.

What happens to your stall speed during a turn? At 45 °, the stall speed will be 20% higher than that in level and at 60 ° it will be 41% higher.

So, for example a Cessna 172R stalling at a stall speed (Vs) of 51 knots (POH) will land at 72 knots on a 60 ° turn. The recommended approach speed is 65-75 knots. The pilot who is used to making his approaches to 70 knots and who decides to make a turn at 60 ° while straightening the nose is likely to win. This has happened to many.

The moral is that if your approach is not stabilized and you are not aligned in advance in the final go straight. The habit should be that when we feel discomfort with our approach we should simply go back on the gas and come back. We will not tell anyone!

REDUNDANCY WILL SAVE YOU LIFE 

THE MOST IMPORTANT IN A SITUATION OF EMERGENCY is TO SURVIVE! ... Then, it's to be LOCATED QUICKLY! As you know, no matter where you take off, it's a matter of flying 10 to 20 minutes to be above inhospitable regions. In Quebec, even if it is successful, a forced landing in the forest can become an extreme survival test for any pilot. The importance of being located quickly will make the difference between life and death.

Redundancy of instruments is a basic principle in aviation. We believe it should be the same for the distress beacon. The ELT 121.5 is making way for the 406 and soon other options will be available but what about redundancy?

Several technologies using satellite networks already exist. These technologies are portable and improve from year to year. Technology now makes it possible to stay in touch via text messaging at very reasonable costs when compared to the costs of using satellite phones.

WESTERN FESTIVAL OF SAINT-TITE, SUPPLEMENT TO AIP

The Western Festival of Sainte-Tite will be held from 4 to 17 September. For the occasion, Nav Canada issued a supplement to the AIP related to the Restricted Area (CYR) and a temporary MF.

In the image, the area circled in orange is the MF area (3NM radius, surface area (SFC) at 3500ft ASL, at 122.7MHz).

The area encircled in red is the no-fly zone (0.75NM radius, from the SFC to 1500 ASL).

RVA STANSTEAD / WELLER, SEPTEMBER 7

This year's RVA at CTQ2 will take place on Saturday, September 7th starting at 9am. The long-term weather looks good. Of course, by flying, everyone assumes their own risks. Last year, 60 aircraft and an overflight of the New York area were recorded. Thank you all.

The food consists of fresh sweet corn and other vegetables from our organic gardens and orchards that you can enjoy and a Beefalo burger for $ 20 as a gift. We could use volunteers to help with the movement and parking of planes.

At other times, you are always welcome to come down to pick up delicious ripe products in our self-service garden and orchard, not far from the track. There is a small building next to the garden / orchard door with a scale, a price chart and a piggy bank. For example, the $ 100 burger could be replaced by the $ 100 "carrot" or "pear" when you and your family go flying and picking.
