Safe flying a
team effort
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Total flight safety is easy
to achieve: “Just don’t fly.”
Director Flight Safety
Colonel Steve Charpentier
and Chief Warrant Officer
Rene Labrie visited 14 Wing
Greenwood February 18
through 20 to present their
annual briefings on incidents, safety and success.
“Flight safety is all about
controlling risk,” Charpentier
said. “When we’re in theatre, we take risk. That’s the
mission, it’s what the boss
wants. Our role is to find all
the risks associated with the
mission and reduce them.”
About 300 people across
the Royal Canadian Air Force
wok in flight safety, from
investigation to education
to promotion. Right now, the
focus is on fatigue management, looking at the effects
of long flights, shift work
and time zone adjustments;
and drugs, monitoring for
everything from Benadryl to
alcohol to illegal drugs.
“When you come to work,
am I safe? Am I rested? Do
I have the right attitude? If
you can check any of these
as a ‘no,’ take action,” Charpentier said.
There are two open investigations from 14 Wing
Greenwood incidents, including a search and rescue
hoist failure in December
and a sheared bolt found
on a Cormorant helicopter
in November. The goal is
to find our what happened,
and how to prevent it from
happening again – not lay
blame.
“Make sure you share
flight safety incidents and
lessons” said Labrie. “There
is no shame – it’s all about
learning.
“Safety, safety, safety. If
you pay lip service to safety,
bad things happen. It’s not
OK to cut corners to make
the next mission.”

trends in flight safety, indicating recent years’ dropping on – but, over the longer term, showing a steady
increase in issues.
“That’s concerning. We
know you’re under the microscope, and there are er-
rors related to a lack of skill
with a younger, less experienced Air Force. Decisions,
perception and supervision;
documentation is our bread
and butter, the only way we
know the work has been
done properly.”

Operations Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Latter directly cited
the “team approach” to flight
safety. Last week, a snow
removal crew picked up on
a flight safety issue on the
airfield.
“It’s good to see a mix
of people at these briefings
– ground crew, air crew,
civilians. The wing commander is very concerned
with flight safety, and it’s a
team approach to success.
We’re all involved.”

La sécurité des opérations
aériennes, un effort d’équipe
Sara Keddy,
Rédactrice en chef
La sécurité absolue des
opérations aériennes n’est
pas difficile à atteindre. « Il
suffit de ne pas voler. »
Le directeur de la sécurité des vols, le colonel Steve Charpentier et
l’adjudant-chef Rene Labrie,
également de la Direction de
la sécurité des vols, étaient en
visite à la 14e Escadre Greenwood du 18 au 20 février,
pour présenter leurs séances
d’information annuelles sur
les incidents, la sécurité et
les réussites.
« La sécurité des opérations aériennes est une question de contrôle des risques,
explique le Col Charpentier.
Dans le théâtre, nous prenons
des risques. Ça fait partie de
la mission, c’est ce que veut
le patron. Notre rôle consiste
à trouver tous les risques
associés à la mission et à les
réduire. »
Dans l’Aviation royale canadienne, environ 300 personnes travaillent dans le
domaine de la sécurité des
opérations aériennes, que ce
soit les enquêtes, l’éducation
ou la promotion. À l’heure
actuelle, les dossiers à
l’étude sont la gestion de la
fatigue, notamment les effets des longs vols, le travail
par quarts et l’ajustement
aux fuseaux horaires, ainsi
que la consommation de
drogues, en étudiant toutes
les substances, du Benadryl,
à l’alcool, en passant par les
drogues illicites.
« En arrivant au travail,
il faut se demander : est-ce
que je suis capable d’assurer
la sécurité? Suis-je reposé?
Ai-je la bonne attitude? Si
vous répondez non à l’une de
ces questions, il faut agir »,
explique le Col Charpentier.
Il y a deux enquêtes en
cours concernant des incidents survenus à la 14 e
Escadre Greenwood, y compris un treuil de recherche
et sauvetage défectueux en
décembre, et un boulon cisaillé dans un hélicoptère
Cormorant en novembre.
L’objectif des enquêtes est
de déterminer ce qui s’est
produit et d’éviter que ça se
produise de nouveau, non de
jeter le blâme.
« Assurez-vous de transmettre les incidents et les
leçons apprises en matière
de sécurité des opérations aériennes, indique
l’Adjuc Labrie. Il n’y a pas
de honte. L’important, c’est
d’apprendre. »
« La sécurité, d’abord et
avant tout. Lorsqu’on ne se
soucie de la sécurité qu’en
paroles, on risque gros. C’est
inacceptable de prendre des
raccourcis en matière de
sécurité pour arriver à la
prochaine mission. »
L’Adjuc Labrie a montré des
diapositives sur les tendances
en matière d’opérations aériennes illustrant une baisse au
cours des dernières années,
mais indiquant une tendance
à la hausse à long terme pour
l’augmentation continue des
problèmes.
« C’est inquiétant. Nous
sommes conscients que vos
faits et gestes sont scrutés
à la loupe et qu’il y a des
erreurs attribuables à un
manque de compétences
lorsqu’on sait que la Force
aérienne est jeune et manque
d’expérience. Les décisions,
la perception et la supervision; la documentation est au
cœur de nos activités, c’est la
seule façon de savoir que les
choses ont été faites selon les
règles. »
Le lieutenant-colonel Scott Latter, des Opérations de la 14e Escadre, a cité
directement l’esprit d’équipe
pour la sécurité des opérations aériennes. La semaine
dernière, une équipe de déneigement a remarqué un
problème de sécurité des
opérations aériennes sur la
piste.
« C’est bien de voir diverses personnes lors de
ces réunions, des membres d’équipages au sol,
d’équipages aériens et des
civils. Le commandant de
l’Escadre est fort préoccupé
par la sécurité des opérations
aériennes et il faut faire front
commun pour réussir. Nous
devons tous participer. »

CAF career ‘all good, all awesome’
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
May 30, 1978 – “that’s the
day I signed the line,” says
Master Warrant Officer John
Arsenault.
“I took a loss in pay, I had a
car to cover and I didn’t know
if I’d make it – but it was a
great decision.”
Arsenault retired from the
Canadian Armed Forces February 19, 36 years and nine
months after making that
decision.
“I’ll be really honest – I
don’t know why I joined the
military,” he says.
There was no family background and, even though
he went to school on Nova
Scotia’s Eastern Shore and
Halifax Navy and Air Force
bases were all around him,
“It wasn’t really something
I was familiar with. I worked
in retail for a bit out in Saskatoon, then I came back and
worked at the car wash at the
autoport in Eastern Passage.
I was in limbo.”
A few friends joined the
forces, and he did, too, thinking he was heading into an
accounting field.
“I was seven weeks into
basic training at Cornwallis
before I realized it was more
administration – and it was
too late then!”
But the training served him
well. His first posting was in
Stadacona, and he went to sea
for several years. Choosing an
extension, he worked himself
into a prime opportunity for a
posting in Germany, working

career achievements to be proud of.

security and as a driver for Canadian officials. He spent the
next few years in Sydney, Nova
Scotia as Reserve support
staff, then headed to Norfolk,
Virginia to work with NATO.
“It was all good, all awesome.”
The international experience in the early years of his
career made a difference for
him.
“You were noticed as a
Canadian, for sure. In Europe,
they loved Canadians and we
were treated like gold. But,
you were also looked upon
by senior people as a good
representative for your country, and the Canadian Forces.”
In those early days, Canada
was “busy. Ships were gone
all the time, we had an ‘en-
emy’ through the Cold War
and we were focused – I think
it was better times than now,
where all these little countries
are the challenge.”
Arsenault spent several
more years at various Halifaxarea postings, and moved to
Greenwood in 2001. He was
the chief warrant officer in the
Wing Administration branch
for five years, and then made
another decision.
“I have three boys (one
is a U.S. Marine, another
is a firefighter here at 14
Wing and the third is an air
weapons technician in Cold
Lake), and the oldest – the
Marine, had done two tours
in Iraq. I noticed differences
in him and me. My priorities
changed: I thought it might
be more important for me to
be home more for the family,
that it would be healthy for
the boys.”
He signed over to the Air
Reserve, also recognizing it
would be a good way for him
to transition his own career.
“I don’t think I could have
left cold,” he says. “I remember taking my first 35day break, wondering what I
would do. Now, I think there
are just too many people who
wait too long to retire and
something happens. It’s not
worth it. I’m not burned out,
and I still enjoy everything at
work, but I want to enjoy the
next phase of my life.”
His wife retired from an administrative civilian role here
at the wing in October, and
has been awaiting Arsenault’s
final days at work as the Reserve employment and training officer. Travel, gardening,
visiting grandchildren, golf
and finding volunteer opportunities and new hobbies are
Over 100 varieties

on the immediate radar.
“It’s been really great to
see the new recruits come
in and succeed over my last
few years: the military needs
new blood, and there’s an opportunity in that. These kids
are smart, and we’re going to
advance in so many areas that
are second nature to them.”
(He recalls the days he was
called back from Germany for
six weeks, teaching a course
in Halifax on how to use the
“new” word processors.)
“This is it. Tomorrow, I get
up, I go for my massage and
change the tires on the car.

CAF trialing adjusted SAR
response times
Each year, search and
rescue (SAR) crews and
coordinators respond to approximately 10,000 marine,
aeronautical and humanitarian incidents nation-wide.
The three search and rescue
regions (SRR), in Victoria,
Trenton and Halifax; work
together to oversee SAR
operations across Canada,
which includes over 18 million square kilometres of land
and sea.
“The Canadian Armed
Forces
(CAF) maintains one
A Royal Canadian Air Force CH149 Cormorant helicopter hovers over the deck of
HMCS Edmonton as search and rescue technicians are hoisted on board during a of the most effective SAR
SAR exercise.
File systems in the world. Our
men and women always respond immediately and have
saved thousands of lives
across the country,” says
Lieutenant-Colonel Craig
Weir, senior SAR advisor at
Canadian Joint Operations
Command (CJOC).
SAR crews follow a schedule of 40 hours a week of
30-minute SAR response
time. This means, for eight
hours a day, five days of the
week; SAR crews must be
airborne within 30 minutes
of being notified of a task.
Outside of the 40-hour week,
SAR crews continue to respond immediately and must
be airborne within two hours.
The CAF is currently trialing an adjustment of response times to better align
with the hours and days during which SAR incidents are
most likely to occur. While
the pre-existing 40-hour-aweek 30-minute response
time will not change, this trial,
which will vary for squadrons
and aircraft, aims to align the
30-minute response posture
with periods of greatest SAR
activity.
“We are always looking to
improve the assistance we
provide to Canadians, so it
is important to evaluate when
there is a higher demand for
a 30 minute response time,”

says Weir. A study from April
2014 confirms the occurrence of SAR incidents occur
most frequently in the summer months, on weekends,
as well as in the afternoons
or evenings.
The adjusted schedule was
first tested in the Trenton
SRR in 2013 and yielded
positive results. The trial expanded to include the Victoria
SRR in 2014 and the results
are still under review.
“This year, the trial will
be refined and will include
the Halifax SRR. The results
and analysis of these trials
will help to align SAR readiness to the statistical occurrence of incidents across the
country.”
Ultimately, no matter the
location of the incident or
the time of day, SAR crews
in Canada are well-trained
and ready to respond immediately when Canadians
require their assistance.

February has come and
gone for another year, and
with it, another great winter
carnival. This year, the theme
was Ancient Civilizations and
the members of the 14 Wing
family sported the greatest costumes representing
their teams and their units.
The team from the Hornell
Centre, the mighty Vikings,
which included 404 Squadron, Wing Operations, 14
SES, and MP&EU, ransacked
the games and won the coveted first place and bragging
rights for the rest of 2015!
This year, a greater emphasis was placed on participation by the whole family of
DND personnel. As a result,
Friday was a chance for the

Fun By The Numbers
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9
grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the
numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each
number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You
can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by
using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more
numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

l’utilisateur appuie et relâche le levier à de multiples re-
prises. Cette défectuosité est
causée par une composante
du levier non conforme aux
spécifications.

consommateurs n’ont été signalés à Kidde Canada ou à
Santé Canada relativement à
l’utilisation de ces produits.

West Kings drama heading
‘Into the Woods’
Hannah MacMillan
West Kings District High
school’s drama program is
heading “Into the Woods.”
Before “Into the Woods”
was made into the popular
Disney movie released earlier
this year, it was a successful musical on the Broadway stage during the 1980s.
With lyrics written by Stephen
Sondheim and a script by
James Lapine, this enchanting musical gives a modern
take to the plots of several
Grimm brothers’ fairy tales.
The story revolves around a
baker and his wife who wish
to have a child. However, a
curse has been set on them by
a witch. In order for the curse
to be lifted and their wish to
be granted, the baker and his
wife set out into the woods to
find a specific set of items for
the witch.
At West Kings, the dynamic
duo of Hal Jessome and Da-
vid O’Leary have been working with a talented group of
student thespians since fall.
They started their process
with a series of auditions.
Once characters were in place,
rehearsals began, four hours
twice a week.
Emilee Wood, Grade 12, has
been a part of all West Kings
musical productions since her
Grade 9 year. Wood has the
lead role of the baker’s wife
this year; Jeffery Bickle plays
her husband.
“’Into the Woods’ is, by far,
the most challenging musical I’ve been part of at West
Kings,” she says. “I am very
fortunate to have been given
the opportunity to work with
such talented members of
the drama club who have
been able to fill the shoes
of the diverse characters in
this production. I feel that the
feedback from this musical
will be even more rewarding
than previous years, due to
the hard work we have all put
in to this show.”
“In August, when David and
I got together to select a show,
we knew this would be our
biggest challenge to date. One,
because there are so many big
roles and, secondly, because
of the complexities of Sondheim’s music,” says Jessome.
“The kids have embraced the
challenge with enthusiasm. It
has been a lot of hard and difficult work, but the end result
is going to be a wonderful
experience for the audience.”
Show times are Wednesday,
March 4 through Saturday,
March 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the
West Kings auditorium. There
is also a matinee Sunday,
March 8 at 2 p.m. Admission
is $13 for adults and $10
for students. Tickets may be
purchased at the West Kings
District High School office,
or by calling 902-847-4440.
