A new corporate member: Camp de Base Casey CSQ4

We welcome and thank Naor Cohen for registering as a corporate member under the Camp de Base Casey - CSQ4 banner. Naor is not unknown among the Quebec pilot community for his entrepreneurial spirit which led him to develop the RVA Casey into a major event now known as Aeroventure Casey. This next meeting is scheduled for the Labor Day weekend, from September 2 to 5, 2022.

We invite you to follow the Camp de Base - Casey Facebook page to follow the latest news in the preparation of this major event.

Aviateurs.Québec takes this opportunity to congratulate Naor and his team for having succeeded in restoring the CSQ4 code to the Casey aerodrome. The publication of Casey CSQ4 in the CFS is scheduled for July 14, 2022. You should know that Casey's track was originally in the CFS in the 80s under the code SQ4. To keep the historical side, they worked with NavCanada to reactivate the old code.

Photo Contest 2022

The 2021 competition is now a thing of the past. The winning photos were announced in the March/April 2022 issue of L'Aviateur magazine. Here, we show you the winning photo of the 2021 contest taken by Pierre-Étienne Bergeron. Pierre-Étienne wins the Michel Charette trophy.

And the 2022 contest is back! 

You can now send us photos by writing to us at photos@aviateurs.quebec

You have until March 31, 10 pm to send us your photos. IT'S TOMORROW!

On the subject of photo resolution… most “smart” phones take photos in acceptable resolution and even “high” resolution. But often, the email software used is set to send only low resolution previews. This can be corrected by the user… You can also go through a manipulation by copying the photo and pasting it into the message. It is also possible to use WeTransfer, MailDrop from Apple, Google Drive in Gmail or OneDrive from Microsoft.

THE IMPORTANT is:

  • Give a TITLE to the photo
  • Give the full NAME of the PHOTOGRAPHER
  • Give YOUR full NAME
  • Give your member NUMBER (IN RULE).

For the rest, we will consider that you have read and accepted the rules when you participate...
