Chair’s Message (Presented at ATAC Annual Meeting– November 3, 2015)

“A lot can happen in a single year and 2015 has had its share of in-teresting events”.

At the time of last year’s Annual Meeting the price of a barrel of crude oil was about $95 and the Canadian dollar was $0.88. Today the price of oil is about $48/barrel and the dollar has dropped to $0.76.

On March 24th pilot Andrea Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings Airbus A320 in the French Alps, killing 144 passengers and 6 crew members.

July 1, 2015 was a milestone day for both Air Canada and WestJet as they recorded their largest ever single day traffic numbers.

Our recent election has resulted in a change of govern-ment, the first since 2006.

Bombardier has received a 7 figure bailout commitment from the Quebec Government and seeks similar input from the Federal Government as a partner in the success of the C Series aircraft.

We have had 503 reported laser strike incidents, a 43% increase in 2 years.

Special Flight Operating Certificates for drones have risen from 345 in 2012 to 1,672 in 2014 and the number of inci-dents investigated rose from 3 to 39 in the same time period.

Each of these events will have an impact on our industry and will require our close attention as an Association.

But as much as things have changed, there are other things that have remained the same despite years and years of efforts from ATAC. And unfortunately these things have served to make our industry uncompetitive, particularly when compared to our neighbours to the south.

For example, Canadian fees and taxes account for about 40% of the difference in the price of an airline ticket in Canada when compared with travel in the US.

Canada ranks 125th out of 139 countries for ticket tax and airport charges. One culprit is airport rents which contin-ue to be a uniquely Canadian charge borne by Canadian flyers.

US airports have no similar cost. As of 2012, the book value of the airport assets transferred from the govern-ment to the Airport Authorities was about $2.85B.

Rents paid as of 2012 are estimated at over $5B and the money goes into the public treasury. Despite these rents, the government provides no subsidies to the airports. So over and above these rents, airports must rely on Landing Fees, Airport Improvement Fees and other sources of revenue such as parking and commercial space rent to fund airport maintenance and improvements.

And despite considerable investment in our airports since the transfer, our volume of business and market share has not grown. Instead, we have lost an estimated 5 mil-lion passengers to transborder airports annually. This translates into about 9,000 lost jobs and $1.1 B in lost economic activity annually.

In addition to funding the airports, Canadian passengers continue to be 100% responsible to pay for the air securi-ty system through the Air Travellers Security Charge (ATSC). The ATSC revenues continue to flow into the government’s general coffers and the ATSC expenditures continue to fall short of the inflow, creating surpluses which go unused for service enhancement. As of 2014 these surpluses were an estimated $258M. We need to more directly tie CATSA funding to revenues from the ATSC. And our policies need to insist that CATSA is a service provider to the Canadian public with high stand-ards for service delivery in terms of maximum wait times.

We believe it is the government’s responsibility to main-tain a tax and regulatory environment favouring the com-petitiveness of Canadian air carriers.

Our current regime is not competitive. But the situation has not been the fault of any one government. The situa-tion has existed through many changes in leadership. Since the airport transfer in 1992 we have had 13 years of Liberal governance and 10 years of Conservative gov-ernance.

We do not yet know who will be appointed as the Federal Minister of Transport. We do not yet know whether this Minister will be accessible or accommodating. We have had incidents in the past where the Transport portfolio has been other than a top priority for the government. Only time will tell whether we can garner the attention of the Trudeau government, given the long list of priorities they presented as their election platform.

Regardless of that, you have the commitment of the staff and the Board of ATAC that we will continue to engage with government at all levels and continue pressing for aviation policy reform to eliminate policy induced anti-competitiveness.

In closing, I want to take a moment before our sessions commence to thank the ATAC staff for their hard work in preparing for this year’s Annual Meeting and National Aviation Conference and Tradeshow.

Also a special thanks to our Tradeshow exhibitors for your support and finally my appreciation to our ATAC members for your engagement.

Your presence here for this year’s 81st Annual Confer-ence is essential for us to continue our work on your be-half. We hope that you take advantage of this unique opportunity for networking, education and input.

Have a great Conference everyone.” Tracy Medve President, KF Aerospace

President’s Message (Presented at ATAC Annual Meeting– November 3, 2015)

It’s great to be back in Montreal. It is with pleasure that I present the Presi-dent’s 2014-2015 Annual Report.

Allow me to introduce my colleagues : Les Aalders, Executive Vice-President, and Vice-President, Atlan-tic Canada & British Columbia; Mike Skrobica, Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, and Vice-President for Ontario; and Wayne Gouveia, Vice-President, Commercial

General Aviation and Vice-President, Prairie and Northern. I am responsible for the Quebec region.

I want to begin by welcoming industry association and or-ganization partners that we work with on a regular basis. The continued and constructive collaboration we enjoy is key to our success as industry associations. I’m not quite sure which ones are sitting in the room right now but I would ask them to stand as I identify them so that we may acknowledge their presence.

I want to report to you on the work we’ve accomplished in the financial year ended last June 30. I will address key issues, our membership, our finances, and our organiza-tion.

We maintain a strong and dynamic presence in Ottawa. The ATAC team has been hard at work overcoming regula-tory, political, and level of service hurdles in the way of your continued success.

We represented ATAC members and promoted Canadian aviation internationally in Argentina, Belgium, France, Spain, the US, Great Britain, Ireland and China.

Membership Membership is key at ATAC. We have been successful in attracting many new members, both Operators and Indus-try Partners, over the past year and we will continue to do so. We have lost some members, largely due to the eco-nomic slowdown, but fortunately through our active recruit-ment we were able to keep our ranks strong.

Our membership stands at 184, including 81 Operator Members, 91 Industry Partners and 12 Affliates. We con-stantly meet with potential members, convincing them that membership in ATAC is a wise investment which allows them to stand strong with us when facing the many chal-lenges of our industry. A strong membership continues to give ATAC the leadership it has enjoyed for over 80 years.

Keep in mind that an ATAC membership yields the greatest return to those who join in the committee work throughout the year and attend our annual National Aviation Confer-ence.

Your participation is what makes our Conference a success so we always encourage you to bring the largest possible delegation. You’ll benefit from your team’s involvement in our committee work and networking events.

We announced last year that we would offer the head of the Operator Member with the largest delegation, a free upgrade to the John Lennon Suite for the duration of the Convention.

I am happy to announce that Air Georgian has the largest delegation to this year’s Conference. As the head of the delegation, Mr. Eric Edmondson has been offered the John Lennon Suite. Eric has kindly accepted to open the John Lennon Suite (suite 1742) to visitors this afternoon be-tween 4 and 5 PM, before our pre-dinner reception. I en-courage you to experience that cultural icon.

ATAC Finances As you heard from our Honorary Treasurer, ATAC’s financ-es are in good shape. We budget very conservatively and keep our expenses under strict control. As you have all seen in your invoices last July, we did not increase mem-bership fees again this year.

This marks the fifth year that our membership fees have remained unchanged.

Copies of our financial statements are available in the back of the room for our members. Our 2014-2015 Annual Re-port will be posted to our website early in the New Year.

Communicating with Members We are constantly trying to improve communications with you and the other aviation stakeholders.

We have been monitoring our Web page traffic and our Twitter account for the last year in order to better measure the response to our internet activity. We are making better use of the social network in order to communicate with the aviation community both in Canada and abroad. We contin-ue to better showcase our successes. We have more and more followers on our Twitter account. Our bilingual web-site, the focal point of our internet activity, is receiving a growing number of hits on a monthly basis.

We continue to hold monthly Board Conference Calls and quarterly Member Calls. In an effort to maximize efficiency and lower costs, we are transitioning towards webinars as they allow a much more dynamic exchange for everyone participating.

We have redesigned our Member Portal to make it more user friendly. “MyATAC” replaces the “Members’ Only” sec-tion of our website and will allow for sharing of files, updat-ing your profile, and posting messages to a discussion board.

The username and password that you currently have for the Members’ Only section of our website will no longer be valid. We will be sending you new access codes by email within one week after this Conference. Check your inbox and even your junk mail in some cases for our email con-taining new individual usernames and temporary pass-words. Contact us should you not receive your access codes to our new portal.

The ATAC officers and I met on November 1 with the Pres-idents of most of the Canadian aviation associations and we have identified many common issues of concern. We all agreed that working together, as many of us successfully did on the Fatigue Management issue, is not an option but the only way forward if our voices are to be heard.

(Continue on Page 8)

Issues at the Forefront ATAC is working on a great number of issues for its mem-bers. I have asked the ATAC officers to join me here this morning so that they can add to what I am saying and an-swer any questions you may have.

There are many issues of importance. I will address the major ones.

Transport Canada Civil Aviation Flight Crew Fatigue Risk Management and Flight & Duty Times was the major regulatory issue being addressed over the past year. ATAC and other industry associations dissented on the Notice of Proposed Amendment issued in September 2014 and ever since ATAC has been working hand in hand with our members to ensure the adverse im-pact of such a regulatory change is well understood by the regulator.

ATAC’s emphasis is that with the Safety Management Sys-tem (SMS) regime in place, our operators already have an excellent mechanism to deal with Fatigue issues. Our 705 operators know this well as do many forward thinking 703 and 704 operators who have implemented SMS concepts voluntarily.

ATAC continues to strongly advocate that Transport Cana-da add much more focus on improving such things as the poor Levels of Service in certain regions regarding approv-al of manual amendments and pilot licences. We are still hoping that a pilot project addressing manual amendments will get the go ahead imminently.

All members are encouraged to participate in the monthly committee conference calls for Flight Operations, Cabin Operations and Technical Operations & MRO Committees. The more we collectively share our trials and tribulations as well as our actions dealing with these, the better our indus-try’s chances are for ongoing successful operations.

NAV CANADA ATAC and its members are key participants within the many NAV CANADA consultative opportunities.

Les Aalders represents you on standing committees such as: NAV CANADA Advisory Committee, a 20 member com-

mittee to analyse issues and reports to the NAV CANA-DA Board of Directors.

The Air Transport Operations Consultative Committee/Air Navigation Services National Advisory Council (ATOCC/ANSNAC), which meets twice yearly to dis-cuss operational issues and updates.

The Performance-based Aviation Action Team (CPAAT). The Runway Safety and Incursion Prevention Panel

(RSIPP) whose objective is to promote runway safety and provide training guidance.

And finally, the Area Operations Consultation Meeting (AOCM), designed to communicate directly with local operators and held in each Flight Information Region twice per year.

We enjoy an excellent working relationship with NAV CAN-ADA and I would like to take this opportunity to thank out-going President and CEO John Crichton for his many years of excellent service to our industry and for making NAV CANADA the envy of the world. I also want to congratulate Neil Wilson, who will be taking over this important job in January.

We hope that NAV CANADA will soon ensure that the very important segment of our industry assembled here today is formally represented on its Board of Directors, as ATAC has been requesting since 2009.

International Representation ATAC members are well represented at international fo-rums where regulatory issues affecting them are ad-dressed. ATAC’s focus is on the major regulatory authori-ties, Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). ATAC advocates for positions ap-propriate for our members after consulting with our mem-bership via our active committee structure. Harmonization amongst the three majors, TCCA, FAA and EASA, is our normal goal but sometimes certain issues require a unique Canadian solution given our laws and our unique operating environment.

Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with IATA at our 2014 Annual Meeting in Vancouver we have continued to work with IATA to find areas of coop-eration. One important IATA initiative that ATAC recogniz-es the value of and recommends that applicable operators consider participating within is the IATA Standard Safety Assessment.

ATAC and its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Committee provide a national leading role in facilitating international marketing for the Canadian MRO industry, which includes many ATAC Industry Partners.

CTA – Public Health Agency – Environment - ICAO The ATAC Cabin Operations Committee has addressed critical Transport Canada operational and equipment is-sues, Canadian Transportation Agency issues including Passenger Accessibility, as well as Public Health Agency of Canada issues related to passengers and crew mem-bers such as potable water. ATAC continues its support of the current voluntary regime of gathering GHG emissions data from our operators. The 2014 reporting year included the largest number of ATAC operators ever - 14, including one new operator. We encourage even more to work with us and TC to continue with the voluntary approach. All of this assists us in countering those that wish to see a more bureaucratic regime as has evolved in Europe.

Non Passenger Screening/Vehicle Screening Responding to a new ICAO recommendation, Transport Canada set out new rules on both Non-Passenger Screen-ing and Vehicle Screening. Non passengers for the pur-pose of these new measures are defined as those airline/airport or service workers with access to the aircraft on airport ramps.

(Continue on Page 9)

The measures will see Canadian Air Transport Security Authority personnel search non passengers for threat items on international and trans-border flights. The Vehicle Screening will be conducted at select airports handling in-ternational and trans-border flights and will be similar to a pilot program conducted at Vancouver Airport several years ago. ATAC lobbied both at the ICAO and Transport Canada level to prevent 100% Non-Passenger Screening which was the EU’s preferred approach.

Canadian Transportation Act Review Periodically the Canadian Transportation Act, the legisla-tion which defines the Canadian Transportation Agency, is reviewed by independent observers. The Minister of Transport announced a new review in 2014. This iteration is much broader in its scope and will examine the air transport industry along with its competitiveness. ATAC submitted a comprehensive response to the review panel, as well as facilitating face to face meetings between the panel members and ATAC members. The Panel will make its recommendations to the new Minister of Transport by the end of calendar 2015. Interactive Advance Passenger Information System Stemming from the “Beyond the Border” accord agreed upon by the USA and Canada, an Interactive Advance Passenger Information System (IAPI) represents a major overhaul to how people enter Canada. IAPI will be similar to a U.S. system known as Automatic Quick Query. The Canadian system will be mandatory for all flights entering Canada beginning in the spring of 2016. Ancillary aspects of the large projects are a new Entry/Exit System to track undocumented visa over-stayers. Another feature will be the implementation of a new Electronic Travel Authoriza-tion. ATAC has worked on this system for the last two years.

Safety Management System (SMS) Projects - UAVs An ATAC member survey conducted in the spring of 2014 revealed that we should look into the development of an online SMS course that would save money and travel time. After reviewing submissions to create an E-learning ATAC SMS program we have determined that the cost is beyond the budget of the association, but just a few weeks ago we were presented with a proposal for a new and dynamic live video model which we will study carefully before proposing it to our members. A live workshop on making your Safety Management Systems work was held this Sunday with a focus on strengthening those weak areas of their system management systems identified by operators.

Another area of growing concern for our industry is the ad-vent of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). ATAC strongly advocates that proper training is key to the safety of shar-ing our airspace. Every month the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Report System (CADORS) are reporting UAVs in proximity to commercial passenger air-craft. Unfortunately, a collision is imminent between a UAV and passenger aircraft. Near misses are reported more and more frequently. ATAC’s Flight Training Committee submitted comments this fall to Transport Canada on the Notice of Proposed Amendment. The new UAV regulations are scheduled for fall of 2016.

ATAC continues to promote flight schools to the UAV com-munity and to Transport Canada as the preferred choice for ground school training for UAV operators and has asked the regulator to delegate delivery of exams for UAV opera-tor permits/licenses to ATAC flight schools with history of delivering TC exams.

Private Career College Regulations BC ATAC was part of a strong turn-out of Flight Schools, both fixed and rotary wing, during consultations held last fall at Boundary Bay Airport. We are comforted by the fact that Pacific Flying Club CEO, Pat Kennedy, is the ATAC repre-sentative during the ongoing consultations in 2015. New regulations affecting vocational training and pilot training in BC will be released in the spring of 2016.

Group Insurance Plans ATAC’s Group Health and Benefit Program continues to get strong favorable reviews from the insurance industry, however, the plan is not being leveraged by the majority of ATAC companies. ATAC is seeking partners to promote the programs Canada wide.

NACORA has taken the initiative to propose a Hull and Liability, Loss of License and Premises Insurance Plan tailored for ATAC members. NACORA has partnered with Forum Insurance from Montreal to service the province of Quebec. As mentioned, this is a Members only plan. We encourage such initiatives from all of our Industry Partners.

Global Opportunities ATAC continues to promote flight training in Canada inter-nationally. Calgary Flying Club, Essential Flight Training, Super T Aviation and Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre, all prominent ATAC members, travelled to Dublin, Ireland and promoted flight training in Canada with local Irish Airlines, the Irish Aviation Authority, Approved Flight Training Or-ganizations and students interested in flying in Canada.

We are very active in China with three missions so far, the latest was this fall with a mission to Shenzhen, China at the Aircraft Operators & Pilots Association Tradeshow and the Shenzhen Aviation Transportation Association Conference where Wayne Gouveia was the keynote speaker on the subject of “General Aviation”. Calgary Flying Club, Ottawa Aviation Services and Super T Aviation participated in this mission as did our new international member, the Huamei International School. The highlight of the trip was the sign-ing of an MOU between the Beijing General Aviation Or-ganization and the Calgary Flying Club to deliver a multi-year program to train Chinese pilots in Canada involving additional ATAC flight schools supporting Calgary Flying Club in the delivery of the required pilot training.

Dangerous Goods On the complex issue of Dangerous Goods (DG), a new section 1.49 has been added to the Transport Canada reg-ulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods allowing transportation of foreign made cylinders to be refilled and transported for use in the aircraft.

(Continue on Page 10)

An ICAO Working Group will focus on training to develop a competency based training criteria rather than focus on job titles. ATAC DG Committee’s Education and Training Sub-committee has been working with Transport Canada’s rep-resentatives on the working group to provide feedback for the discussion at the ICAO Dangerous Goods panel held this October in Montreal.

Another working group will be looking at performance based packaging similar to packaging used for explosives. This packaging has to be able to confine the effects of ther-mal runaway of lithium batteries and to within the package and prevent propagation to adjacent packages. ATAC DG Committee Chair, Dave Evans, attended the ICAO 25th Panel meeting as an advisor to Transport Canada and as a representative of ATAC companies.

Also of interest is that the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Directorate has announced a new service standard of 30 days for the approval of manuals and DG training programs.

(Mr. Gouveia indicated that at a recent ICAO meeting in Montreal Canada voted against the ban of carrying lithium batteries onboard passenger aircraft.)

ATAC Code of Ethics and Competition Compliance Guidelines The ATAC Board of Directors has adopted a revised Code of Ethics and I encourage you all to visit the ATAC website to acquaint yourselves with the revised code. Copies of the Code of Ethics are also available at the Registration Desk. All of ATAC’s activities are to be conducted in full compli-ance with Canadian competition law, as well as the compe-tition and antitrust laws of any other relevant jurisdictions such as the United States and the European Union. Cop-ies of the Competition Law Compliance Guidelines are also available at the Registration Desk and all Committee Chairs have been instructed to strictly abide by them.

Remembering Friends - Claude Taylor It is now time for us to commemorate lost friends. Claude Taylor had an outstanding career in the Canadian aviation industry and had a profound influence on the development of the Canadian airline industry.

He demonstrated a lot of leadership in Parliament's approv-al of the 1977 Air Canada Act, which transformed Air Cana-da from a subsidiary of Canadian National Railways (CNR) to a Crown Corporation in its own right. He then led Air Canada's privatization, with its stock first being offered on the public market in 1988. In 1985, Claude Taylor was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame. He served a term as Chair of IATA and was a proud ATAC director. Claude Taylor passed away on April 23, 2015, one month shy of his 90th birthday.

Top 20 Under 40 On a more pleasant note, I would like to extend our heart-felt congratulations to seven ATAC Member Company em-ployees who emerged winners in Wings Magazine “Top 20 Under 40” in recognition of their achievements as leaders of the new generation of aviation and aerospace profes-sionals and for their impeccable work ethics, leadership by example, and active involvement in the growth of the quali-ty of our industry.

These were: Heather McGonigal of Transwest Air in Saskatoon Christa Glover of Universal Helicopters in Goose Bay Mallory Deluce, then of Air Georgian in Mississauga

and now with Porter Airlines Amanda Sarginson of Emond Harnden in Ottawa Diana Kelly of NAV CANADA in Ottawa Robert Carney of Brampton Flight Centre in Caledon Mathieu Demers of Avianor in Mirabel

Congratulations to these young leaders and to Wings Mag-azine for this initiative. I’m sure that many more young ATAC member company employees will continue to show the leadership needed in our industry for years to come.

Elsie MacGill Award I would also like to congratulate our outgoing Chair, Tracy Medve, for winning the 2015 Northern Lights Elsie MacGill Business Award. The Elsie MacGill Award recognizes out-standing women in aviation and aerospace. Its mission is to inspire and encourage increased participation of women in these industries by heightening their visibility as role models. Congratulations to Tracy and to Northern Lights and to all of this year’s winners. I encourage you all to nominate outstanding women in your organizations to these prestigious awards.

Barry Lapointe Finally, I would like to congratulate ATAC Lifetime Honoree Barry Lapointe for receiving British Columbia’s highest hon-our last May when he was named to the Order of British Columbia by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon.

Closing In closing I want to say that the ATAC mandate is clear. It is to support our members in their continued commitment to a safe, world-leading and sustainable Canadian air transport industry. ATAC is here to help you. ATAC is your voice and your team in Ottawa.
