Technology in the Cockpit for Navs

Wondering who, if anyone, has formalized SOPs, Guidelines, Protocols, Rules, (I care not what they are called), for effectively maximising the integration of “pen and paper mapping” and the use of “tablets’ by navigators in the cockpit. Specifically how and what is the tablet used for …. does it actually supercede and/or replace any of the disciplines associated with mapping. Is it merely a comfort tool. Happy to hear your experiences directly @ martyw.sar@gmail.com especially if you can share any documentation. Thanks.

Search for RV6 is reduced

It is with sorrow and dismay, that I report the search for the missing RV6 from Edmonton to Chilliwack has come to a close at this time. We will however use this area in our future training plans with the hopes of bringing a close to this event.
 
442 Squadron had 2 Buffalo, 2 Cormorants and PEP Air had 8 Civil Aircraft per day flying out of Kamloops. The PEP Air Aircraft came in from all over the Province for a total of 20 different Aircraft and Crews.
 
Our heartfelt condolence to the families and friends of the missing in this SAR.

Crash/Survival Kits What’s inside?

We now have a video on our Video Site that you can view to see exactly what is inside the new Crash/Survival Kits. These kits were recently dispersed throughout the Province. DO NOT OPEN the kit except for an emergency as you will not get it closed again. Check out the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsLmG6fia0M
