Save Our Medevac
Share    
I have recently become involved in a campaign to prevent the degradation of health care for northern residents of Alberta and Canada.
I have devoted much of my professional career to helping people and have been mortified by the imminent closure of Edmonton City Centre Airport resulting in Medevac Air Ambulance Flights being relocated to Edmonton International Airport near Leduc, Alberta.
Alberta is positioned to go from the 'best to the worst' transfer times in Canada.
Please visit our website at www.saveourmedevac.ca and lend your support to help preserve, or better yet, enhance access to tertiary medical care.

ELT update: Dec 2012
Share
By Kevin Psutka
It has been one year since my last update, in which I reported that there was no change in the status of the regulation amendment and that current regulation remains in place.
This remains the status. All aircraft operating in Canadian airspace must carry a serviceable Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) that broadcasts on either 121.5 MHz (TSO 91 or 91a) or 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz (TSO 126).
I pointed out that if you elect to equip with a 406 MHZ ELT and/or carry a 406 PLB, you must ensure that it is registered with the beacon registry https://www.cbr-rcb.ca/cbr/
I also highlighted that there is no longer monitoring of 121.5 MHz by satellite and that you should either equip with a newer 406 MHz ELT or carry some other device in addition to your older ELT, and that even if you equip with a 406 ELT you should carry another device because of the deficiencies in all ELTs, including the newer ones.
As of now, the revised regulation remains in limbo and, according to the Director General Civil Aviation, is not likely to move forward anytime soon.

Full-Lotus inflatable aircraft floats are known for their rugged construction and versatility; Winter flyers also find them well adapted for snow, slush, and ice conditions. Unlike skis, the wide footprint and weight distribution of full-lotus floats prevents the aircraft from sinking in powdered snow or from breaking through thin ice! Even if there is water, the floats are in their element. Video…

Hope Air and their volunteer pilot Paul Clark

It's a simple idea: Free flights to get low-income Canadians to specialized healthcare that is not available in their home communities. It's an idea that can help make the Canadian healthcare system truly accessible to all. And it's an idea that Hope Air has been pursuing for over 26 years, defeating the twin barriers of distance and cost to get people to the care they need.

Though it's 13 stories tall, the highest point in Concordia's Hall Building is actually in the basement. That's where Concordia University researchers are flying high, using a flight simulator to develop a more eco-friendly flight. While the majority of an aircraft's flight is controlled by computers programmed to reduce fuel consumption, changing altitudes mid-flight is still not done in the most fuel-efficient way. Concordia's researchers are looking to change that.
