Helicopter Pilot Knowledge Update Session

It was on January 25 that Aviateurs.Québec, with the support of Transport Canada and our sponsors (Bell Textron, Benoit Sansoucy - Engel & Volkers and Sierra Assurance), held for the first time a training session specially designed for helicopter pilots. This training had been developed by Transport Canada's General Aviation Safety Program and its working group on rotary wings. It was approved for the purpose of recency qualification..

Brilliantly delivered by Serge Côté of Transport Canada and Patrick Lafleur of Bell Textron Canada, more than 60 pilots were able to benefit from this training. A video recording, sponsored by Benoit Sansoucy - Engel & Volkers, was made of the training. Once the final editing has been approved by Transport Canada, the video will be available on the Aviateurs.Québec website.

After a lunch provided by Aviateurs. Québec and Sierra Assurance and the conclusion of the training, participants were able to visit the manufacturing facilities of the Bell Textron Centre of Excellence. We can be collectively proud of the accomplishments of Bell Textron Canada and the influence of their expertise internationally.

Thank you to all participants. We hope that this training will be useful to you and will help you maintain your skill level and fly your helicopter safely.

Aviateurs.Québec would also like to thank Bell Textron, our host for this event, the volunteers from Bell Textron Canada who accompanied us throughout the day and our two sponsors Benoit Sansoucy - Engel & Volkers and Sierra Assurance who contributed to the success of this day.
