Safety on the minds of float plane operators in BC

With some tragic accidents and high profile near misses still fresh in the minds of British Columbians, the province’s float plane operators have gathered to take a look at how best to improve the safety of their industry.

Transport Canada, which has a number of resource materials on line on the topic of float plane safety hosted a two day workshop this week to address the issue of safety in the skies and on the water of the province. The eventual result of which could be the formation of a new association that would be dedicated specifically to improving safety measures in the industry.
