BCGA presents the  2017 PrepAIR Pilot Seminar Series

The BC General Aviation Association is proud to be partnering with PrepAIR.  We will be working with PrepAIR to engage British Columbia’s pilots in promoting what has become a very successful and resource rich flight safety seminar series.  The BCGA’s mission is to promote safe and enjoyable flying throughout British Columbia. By partaking in a PrepAIR seminar, you will be doing your part to be as well prepared and as informed as possible which helps make us all safer and flying more enjoyable. 

PrepAIR was created in 2015 by Darlene George, manager of YYJ Tower and YWH Flight Service Station, and Simon Dennis, YYJ Tower air traffic controller. Representing NAV CANADA, and wanting to do something in its name to engage the local aviation community in a way that had never been done before, they proudly used the support, resources and reputation of their company to inspire PrepAIR’s creation. It is a new direction for NAV CANADA.

PrepAIR is driven by the knowledge that in aviation, every user is uniquely connected and a part of the same picture, often more than we realize. From controllers, to airport authorities, to pilots, to everyone in-between, opportunities to interact with each other and understand the role we respectively play are limited at best. We intend to change that. PrepAIR is created for you, the pilot, but it is much more than just a refresher of pilot information. It is a call to come together, to provide you with new points of view, to meet and communicate with those that you normally wouldn’t have the chance to, conducted in a welcoming atmosphere that will not only increase your knowledge, but leave us all with a greater sense that we are a part of broad and inherently connected community.

The PrepAIR seminars are conducted at no charge and counts towards the attending pilot’s 24 month recurrency requirements. Each seminar is unique and covers topics relevant to pilots with a focus on local procedures.
