SAR Awareness Fri/Sat 24-25 Jul 15

CASARA Lethbridge had the opportunity to have a booth at the Lethbridge Air Show this last weekend. It was a great show Friday afternoon and evening and another terrific show on Saturday. We had the chance to speak to a lot of pilots and meet the general public in a substantial way. We conducted our Sar Awareness Pilot Safety Survey and had the best results to date. When we started this survey in Cardston, the result was 56% of the pilots having a better than 5 out of 10  result. At Vulcan the result moved up to 69%, but the Lethbridge Air Show with the largest sampling to date had a 94% result. I am not sure exactly how to interrupt this information but it appears that the more concentrated the flying community the better the result.  This is very interesting. Lethbridge has a very active flying club with the Lethbridge Sport Flyers, there is the excellent general aviation flight instructors at Roland Morton’s, Excel Flight Training and ultralight flight instruction with Jim Laycock at the Lethbridge Adventure flying center. It is very possible that these factors play a big role in safe flying practises.
