BCGA Delegate: Johathan Davis

As previously announced at the COPA convention, the BC General Aviation Association has partnered with COPA, Transport Canada and other aviation organizations to participate in the new Transport Canada Aviation Safety Campaign.

​BCGA Member Jonathan Davis will be representing our organization in the consultation process which is aimed at furthering general aviation safety across Canada. Jonathan is a commercial multi-ifr pilot and is currently leading a research initiative with a focus on pilot complacency.

We feel that he will be an excellent representative for the BC General Aviation Association and support him fully as he moves forward with this important work. If you have anything that you would like Jonathan to take to the panel please post below or email info@bcaviation.ca and we will ensure that he gets the message.

About The General Aviation Safety Campaign
From: Transport Canada


The General Aviation Safety Campaign is a collaboration between Transport Canada and the general aviation community to promote flying safely.

Approach
There are three pillars to the General Aviation Safety Campaign:
  • Promote compliance with safety rules
  • Exchange safety best practices and encourage self-education
  • Use well-targeted inspections to verify compliance with safety requirements
​
Safety Topics
We will add safety topics throughout the campaign with feedback from the aviation community.
The first wave of safety topics include:
  1. Pilot Decision-Making - Accidents start in the planning stage; good decisions need to be made before flying begins.
  2. Mountain Flying - Transport Canada requires pilots to have the right skills and qualifications to operate in the environments they plan to fly in.
  3. Changing the Culture - Existing rules and regulations should be followed in order to encourage safety, not just because it is mandatory to do so.
  4. Shoulder Harnesses - Approved shoulder harness kits are available for certain aircraft; Transport Canada will promote their availability to aircraft owners and encourage their use where appropriate.

Partners
Transport Canada would like to thank the following partners for their continuing contribution to the campaign’s development:
  • Air Transport Association of Canada
  • Smart Pilot
  • Alberta Aviation Council
  • Aviateurs et pilotes de brousse du Québec
  • British Columbia General Aviation Association
  • Canadian Owners and Pilots Association
  • Civil Air Search and Rescue Association
  • Greg Sewell
  • Moncton Flight College
  • Manitoba Aviation Council
  • NAV CANADA
  • Saskatchewan Aviation Council
  • Ultralight Pilots Association of Canada

Smartpilot.ca
