WE

MAKE IT

It’s no surprise the H145 is the helicopter of choice for rescue missions. Whether at sea, on a mountain or in a blizzard, it can bring help to where it’s needed. Compact and versatile, it provides outstanding ight performance under the most extreme conditions.

Resilience. We make it y.

HAC Chair’s Message 2019

Welcome to Vancouver – Bienvenue a Tous

Vancouver continues to be the most popular location for the annual Helicopter Association of Canada Convention & Helicopter Safety Forum, now in its 24th year, where our attendee and exhibitor numbers just continue to grow year-over-year.

This year, continuing with our traditional focus on safety, we have something for everyone, including some popular returning speakers, such as Kathy Fox, Chair of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, and Paul Dittmann, who was appointed as a member of TSB in May 2017.

We also have some new internationally renowned speakers, including Dr. Amanda Lamp, one of Washington State University’s acclaimed Aviation Fatigue specialists. And, of course, Chuck Aaron will be speaking at our annual luncheon about managing risk – under admittedly somewhat unusual circumstances. Aaron is an aerobatic helicopter pilot, most notably in the James Bond movie “Spectre”. In short, this year’s program will be outstanding and the show is not to be missed.

Do take some time to enjoy the beautiful city of Vancouver; and all it has to offer in the way of food and culture. It’s going to be a memorable convention – professionally and socially! I look forward to seeing you.

HAC President’s 2019 Message

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to YVR!

This is our second consecutive year in Vancouver’s Convention Centre – our most popular convention venue, in one of Canada’s most popular destination cities. Many of our delegates bring their families to the city and enjoy a few days before or after the show to enjoy the sights and sounds of beautiful Vancouver in the Fall. I hope that you are able to take advantage of this, too.

This year our safety content has overflowed beyond the November 15 “Safety Day” and we have developed a program that includes many safety related topics over two days. Safety is truly the product that we sell and it is the cornerstone of all our business-related decisions. Indeed, there is no business without the safety of our customers and employees.

This year we have prevailed upon the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) to become even more involved with our programming, to ensure that we are firmly in tune with the latest helicopter safety related issues. As many of our operators extend their reach outside Canada’s borders, we must ensure that Canada continues to be an international safety leader in helicopter operations.

Recent requirements for CRM training; looming changes to the TDGR training requirements; new Fatigue Management regulations on the horizon; a hardening of the insurance market; and an ever-growing shortage of human resources – we have lots to talk about. Take one of our pre-convention courses; participate on one or more of HAC Committees; attend our Awards Luncheon and our Speaker Series program. You won’t be disappointed!
