On behalf of Major General J.J.C.
Bouchard, OMM, CD, the Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division,
congratulations on having been selected to attend Basic
Flight Safety Course to be held at 17 Wing Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
The course is a comprehensive program
designed to prepare candidates to assume the duties
of a UFSO, D/UFSO, or FS NCM at the squadron or unit
level. Candidates consist of aircrew, maintenance, and
AEC personnel from across the Canadian Forces. While
course material will acquaint you with a variety of
Flight Safety topics, it will also be a great opportunity
to discuss safety issues and techniques with members
from other units.
I am looking forward to meeting you in
Winnipeg and trust that this course will prove beneficial
to your personal and professional endeavours.
Bob Schofield
Captain
Course Director
for Commander
