The ACE lab at Carleton University is looking for participants for a study to explore cognition and general aviation. If you are a pilot or a pilot in training, you are at least 18 years of age and you are interested in flying a full-scale Cessna 172 simulator then please contact me via the e-mail below to arrange a time when you are free to participate or to find out more about the study.
The experimental session is approximately two and a half hours and will take place on the Carleton University campus.
Participation is completely voluntary. You will not be compensated monetarily or otherwise for participating in this experiment. *
Thank you: your collaboration is greatly appreciated!

* costs to park at the university will be paid by the study
We are in !!!
Many thanks to all members and staff who volunteered and helped with the move. Greatly appreciated.
We still have work to do, so please excuse a few inconveniences over the next couple of weeks as we unpack and organize, have a portion of the fence removed for front door access, hook up the washrooms and get some electrical work completed.
As the trailers are temporary we look forward to our permanent Clubhouse being built in a couple of years. In the interim the hangar is on target for completion early February and plans are underway to dismantle and tear down the old building in the spring.
Again, many thanks and we look forward to seeing you in our "new" Clubhouse.
COPA Flight 8 Meeting - Crossing the Atlantic
Just a quick note to remind you that on Wednesday 27 January you will vicariously experience that trans-Atlantic flight you always dreamt of doing at COPA Flight 8's January meeting. Al Hepburn will lead us through his transatlantic crossing in a light plane this past year. The meeting is at Ottawa Flying Club at 7:30 PM (00:30Z). All welcome.
National Aviation Day - 23 February
The Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa, in collaboration with the
Department of Transport and others involved in the newly-named Canadian Air and
Space Network, will be putting on a Career Day and Job Fair on the 23rd of February. They are in the process of lining up participants both from the side of school boards, colleges and other educational institutions, on
the one hand, and the various employers in the widely-defined aviation and space community in Canada. Initial response from all sides has been very positive. COPA will have a booth there to promote personal aviation and answer questions about flight training, licensing etc.
Kevin Psutka asks if anyone would like to help man the booth, they can let him know. The plan is still in development but he expects the event to last from 10 until 2 on 23 February.
See you over the Atlantic.

It's been an amazing 24 hours here at the Rockcliffe Flying Club. With the help of volunteers, we've moved our entire operation to our new facilities in just one day, and with minimal downtime. For many, the new facilities have represent an opportunity for a renewed sense of purpose. A fresh start. That's why we sent you a survey last week. We want to know what you, the members, aircraft owners, rental pilots, and student pilots would like. This is your club. We've received great, honest feedback, some we were expecting to see, but some we were surprised by. We received such great feedback that we want to encourage more. That's why we're increasing the value of the gift certificate to $175.00!! So let us know what you think. Go to http://www.rfc.ca/en/survey. It only takes a few minutes and when you've completed the survey, you will be given instructions on how to enter the draw. The survey is anonymous.
The deadline for entering the draw for $175.00 is Friday, January 22nd at midnight. Of course, we always welcome feedback any time, either direct, or using the feedback tab on the left side of the RFC Website.
It's been a long couple of months, but we are finally ready to move operations to the trailer.
The phones will be switched over tomorrow (Monday) night. Therefore, throughout the day we will be dismantling, packing and moving files and smaller items. The bulk (desks, shelves, filing cabinets) of the move will be completed after 1600 hours so we have minimal impact on operations.
Pizza and Timmy's will be provided throughout the day.
We will start the move at approx. 1000 hours and continue until approx. 2000 hours.
Appreciate any assistance available, even if only an hour or two.
Regards
Simon

Wow! 2009 has been an incredible year for the Rockcliffe Flying Club. But it's not about us. It's about you, the members. Without the dedication and many hours of volunteer effort, the Rockcliffe Flying Club would be unable to continue operations. That's why we continually need your feedback to help make the Club better. We've prepared a short survey and we ask that you take a few minutes to fill it out. At the end of the survey, as a thank you you will be presented with an e-mail address. Send the e-mail with the text "I Participated" in the subject line or body for your chance to win a 75$ gift certificate at the Rockcliffe Flying Club.
UPDATE:
The survey is here: http://www.rfc.ca/en/survey
Check the calendar of events for the full schedule. See the dispatcher to sign up!
