General Aviation Safety Campaign

Presented in Partnership with SAC

About the Campaign 2012 Twin Comanche accident at Brenda Mine, British Columbia Aimed at educating pilots, passengers, and the general public on key areas related to safety in general aviation Focus on voluntary improvements to safety, rather than ineffective and costly regulatory route Address: promoting compliance with safety regulations, building awareness of safety hazards and risks, enhancing collaboration on safety strategies, promoting Canada’s State Safety Program and safety objectives, and increasing public confidence in civil aviation The safety campaign represents a partnership between Transport Canada and COPA, supported by an advisory committee comprised of partner associations from across Canada Modeled after highly successful General Aviation Joint Steering Committee in the US  

About the Campaign General Aviation: all recreational aircraft including gliders, ultralights, amateur-built, and Flight Training aircraft under CAR 406. Excludes all helicopters and aircraft flown under CAR 604.
