Traduction de «Officier de la sécurité des vols du groupe » (Français → Anglais) :

Within the flight operations world, there has always been a group called “flight safety”, and the flight safety group had confidential reporting on all safety aspects.

I have been any number of things in my aviation career, including flight safety officer and occupational health and safety officer at a couple of companies.

Each Member State retains the competence to decide whether to deploy in-flight security officers on aircraft registered in that Member State and on flights of air carriers licensed by it as well as to ensure, in accordance with paragraph 4.7.7 of Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation and under the terms of that Convention, that such officers are government personnel who are specially selected and trained, taking into account the required security and safety aspects on board an aircraft.

However, as a result of the incident, a team of flight safety officers is currently in Greenwood investigating the cause of the damage to the Labrador helicopter.

For the first time the act deals with measures to apply on board an aircraft during flight. These include authorisation of in flight security officers and prohibition on carrying weapons unless certain security conditions have been met (Annex, section10).

In that capacity, my responsibilities included the oversight of all aspects of the federal planning and implementation phases of the major event, the establishment of and participation in an inter-directorate working group made up of representatives from the federal and divisional sectors involved in the visit, for example, the Border Services Agency, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Transport Canada, NAV CANADA, and CSIS; the establishment of and participation in an interdepartmental working group made up of representatives from the RCMP and outside partner agencies, namely, other police forces; the identification, in consultation ...[+++]with the operations and accreditation commanders, of the level of accreditation required for the visit; the monitoring of negotiations between federal, provincial and municipal authorities and the preparation of contractual agreements in the form of Memoranda of Understanding; the co-ordination with Transport Canada of the issuance of a “Notice to Airmen” for air-space closure over venues; the liaison with the U.S. security group and the dissemination of appropriate security information to them.
