"The Canadian Forces' mandate is to provide combat capable, operationally effective forces for both the defence of Canada and for missions undertaken in accordance with the policies and priorities of the Canadian government on behalf of all citizens of our country. The preservation of personnel and equipment is critically important in maintaining the operational effectiveness needed to fulfill this demanding mandate. It is clear that the Directorate of Flight Safety plays a distinct and integral role in supporting this objective. Through its primary tenets of promotion, education, investigation and analysis, the Flight Safety program administered by the Directorate of Flight Safety, helps ensure that the air missions of the Canadian Forces are accomplished at an acceptable level of risk.
I fully endorse our Canadian Forces Flight Safety program, which is lead by the Directorate of Flight Safety. I expect all those associated with air operations to actively support this excellent program."
General R.J. Hillier, CMM, CD
Chief of the Defence Staff
