March 3, 2010 - Guy Doherty Aircraft Maintenance 10th Annual Winter Service Seminar
September 16, 2009 – Fatigue
Michel Paul is a defence scientist who has been researching fatigue and its effects on the human body for over a decade. He has studied military air transport crews and submariners in the Canadian Armed Forces and has worked with the Canadian astronaut team, looking at long duty times and circadian rhythms in addition to the effects of crossing multiple time zones over a short time span. Come and meet a real rocket scientist (he was also selected to be one of Canada’s astronauts!) to learn more about the dangers of accumulated sleep deficits and strategies to combat fatigue.
October 21, 2009 – Winter Weather Flying
Nick Czernkovich, CBC Newsworld Meteorologist, returns to give you the information you need to minimize your chances of slipping and sliding this winter. This seminar provides a review of the factors affecting flight and the ramp when the snow flakes, frost and ice start to appear on their annual winter journey south.
corrected date November 18, 2009 – Winter Operation Tools
In this packed seminar, Michel Treskin will review and discuss the hazards and risks associated with cold weather operations, giving you the tools to be able to safely enjoy flying this winter.
January 20, 2010 – Raising the Bar (or “I learned about flying from that!”)
The Buttonville Flying Club’s David Cox will present statistics and look at the most common causes of flying accidents. Opportunities will be available to share stories of past flying experiences that have helped other pilots improve their flying performance, their proficiency, their preparedness, their competency, their safety and also their enjoyment of this great passion of ours. This “TOUGH-LOVE” session will outline David’s observations over the past years of some of the behaviours that need to be addressed to ensure that none of us become a statistic in an annual summary report.
February 17, 2010 – Interactive Round Table – Part 1
Come and join Transport Canada’s Mark Dixon and Michel Treskin as they team up to present an interactive flight scenario where time, weather and equipment issues will keep you on your toes as you work with other aviators in small groups for a mystery flight to parts unknown. Good discussions will be had and valuable lessons will be learned in this entertaining and informative workgroup exercise.
March 17, 2010 – Interactive Round Table – Part 2
Transport Canada’s Mark Dixon returns to provide a different educational learning scenario with unique challenges in another workgroup exercise for you and your fellow aviators. This small workgroup format will permit spirited discussions and multiple solutions to the various exercise scenarios, with numerous learning opportunities to be enjoyed by all.
April 21, 2010 – Floats on the Water
