VFR Airspace Congestion Survey

A survey is being conducted of VFR pilots in the Lower Mainland. Specifically, input is requested from GA Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Student Pilots (Recreational, Private, and Commercial students). The purpose is to obtain more information about the nature and frequency of collision risk, as perceived and experienced by those conducting VFR flights, primarily below the Class C Vancouver TCA. All pilots are invited to participate, click on "Read More" to see the links to the surveys.

After the Crash Presentaion

Forums: 

Gary did an excellent presentaion. Some of the key points to being found quickly are:
- on the flat prairies your chance of being found is about 40%
- in the bc mountains your chances are 4 to 5%
- if you are going to crash activate your ELT manually while you are in the air
- many ELT's do not activate or are destroyed in the crash
- hypothermia is the number one killer- have warm clothing along
- build a fire ASAP to keep warm and send smoke in the air
- tires and plastic from the plane make lots of smoke
