We embrace Civil Aviation’s raison d’être - "We are here for aviation safety". However, we feel strongly about the importance of general aviation in Canada and the critical position of the General Aviation Branch in Civil Aviation and its contribution to aviation safety. In aircraft accidents, human factors are cited in more than 85 percent of the cases as the prime cause or as a significant contributory factor in the accident. In human factors, decision-making has most often been the element that contributed to the accident. The initial learning process during flying training is important in building proper decision-making skills and the associated proficiency to complete the decision action successfully. Therefore, we have developed a slogan that clearly articulates our contribution to aviation safety in Canada -

"Flying Safely Begins With Us!"
