The College of Pilots Canada is a professional organization consisting of pilots from within the industry. It is made up of members holding a Commercial Pilot License(CPL) or higher, as well as pilots currently enrolled in flight training working towards a CPL . They believe that the occupation of a Pilot should be a certified profession much like many other professions are, and will aid in working towards a safe and more self regulated profession in conjunction with Transport Canada. They aim to be recognized as the world wide “gold standard” for the self-governing model for maintaining pilots credentials. The group became established not only with a common goal in mind but also because of an accident that occurred in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 11, 2002.〔 The accident occurred when a light twin engine aircraft piloted by Mr. Tayfel and operated by Keystone Air Service crashed, killing one of the six passengers. The aircraft, on a charter from a remote fishing lodge, performed a go-around in Winnipeg International Airport and ran out of fuel crashing into a busy intersection in the Winnipeg area. The defence argued that the flight operator, Keystone Air, should take the blame because Tayfel's bosses pressured him to go ahead with the flight as scheduled. During cross-examination, though, Tayfel admitted he did not push the issue of the auto-pilot system any further with the chief pilot. Aviation experts testified during the trial that if the aircraft had been equipped with a working auto pilot, the pilot would have most likely been able to land on the first attempt and not crashed. The accident subsequently led to the criminal conviction of the pilot in 2007 setting a legal president for all pilots in Canada. == About == The College is not a union, nor does it aim to be. A union protects individuals where the College is to care for the profession. The goal is to cultivate pilots professional excellence, and to teach and maintain safe and accepted practices in both pilots working for a living, and pilots in training. The principal functions of the College would be to certify pilots and accredit flight schools curriculums. They would provide ongoing support, guidance, and education to ensure pilots achieve and maintain the high levels of expertise the public has come to expect. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「College of Professional Pilots of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
