Aviation safety poster gallery

This poster shows 4 different scenarios where an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) has been activated:

• Scenario 1 shows an ELT signal coming from an airplane in a hangar
• Scenario 2 shows an ELT signal coming from a floatplane on the water, not inflight, with a man fishing standing beside the plane
• Scenario 3 shows an ELT signal coming from a delivery truck, while a helicopter flies in the sky above
• Scenario 4 shows an ELT signal coming from a plane that has crashed on the ground in the forest

This poster also includes the following text:

Which one is real? An UNSAR is an unnecessary search and rescue alert. To prevent an UNSAR, immediately report any accidental ELT activation to the NAV CANADA National Operations Center (NOC) by calling (toll-free) 1 866 651-9053

This poster shows the snowbirds flying over Parliament Hill during an airshow. A small aircraft is flying as well. It includes the following text:

This poster illustrates several pressures (clients, weather, fueling, overloading, etc) that a pilot encounters and serves as a reminder of the importance of threat and error management to make the right decision.

This poster shows a cat jumping over trees in the moonlight while a small aircraft is flying. It also includes the following text:

Be aware of the hazards of night flying

This poster shows an aircraft with similarly colored inlet plugs, and an aircraft with red warnings flags and contrasting engine inlet plugs, reminding the pilot to remove them before takeoff. It also includes the following text:

• Failure to remove external engine covers or flight control locks can result in:
  • Loss of engine or control after takeoff
  • Destructive oil and cylinder temps
  • Low-to-zero oil pressure
  • Reduced engine power
  • Costly engine overheat damage
  • Reduced engine time to overhaul
• Failure to notice non-contrasting protective covers during the preflight inspection resulted in costly unscheduled engine removal after landing Safety suggestions:
• Make covers visible from the cockpit and using contrasting colours, which provides a good safety screen
• Warning flags and contrasting colour can be effective attention-getters on external covers and control locks

This poster shows a general aviation aircraft on a runway, as the sun is beginning to set. It also includes the following text:

Plan ahead. Before you run out of time, fuel, daylight and ideas, land and stay the night.

This poster shows the airspace classification and structure of Canada’s airspace.

This information has been produced by Civil Aviation to provide a better understanding of the airspace classification system in Canada. For more details on the airspace structure and classification, please refer to:

• Division I of Subpart 601 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs)
• Airspace Structure, Classification and Use
• Designated Airspace Handbook (DAH), TP 1820

Classification

Canadian Domestic Airspace (CDA) has seven classifications. The application of any classification to an airspace structure determines the operating rules, the level of ATC service provided within the structure and, in some instances, communications and equipment requirements.

Structure

The airspace structure defines the physical dimensions of the elements into which the airspace is divided, such as control zones (CZ), terminal control areas (TCA), control area extensions (CAE) and airways.

The poster is separated by three images. Top shows a person reading aviation safety guidelines, the bottom left shows a magnifying glass on top of a map and the bottom right shows a green aviation headset. This poster also includes the following text: Aviation Safety starts here.

This poster shows an aerial view of a busy airport, which includes several potential runway incursions scenarios and other dangers on and around runways, including the dangers on and around runways, taxiways, aprons and on final approach.

Examples include:

• helicopter near runway
• two aircraft crossing paths on the same runway

This poster shows a general aviation aircraft that is just about to cross a runway hold line with a commuter-type aircraft landing on same runway.

This poster shows dark storm clouds in the sky. It also includes the following text:

• It’s better to arrive a little late in this world, than early in the next!

This poster shows various general aviation aircraft on a runway. It also includes the following text:

• It’s better to arrive a little late in this world, than early in the next!
• Be a wise pilot
• Before takeoff:
  • Get all available weather information.
  • Prepare for the worst and plan alternatives.
  • File a flight plan, or flight itinerary.
  • Leave a margin for error or the unexpected— take ample fuel reserves.
• While airborne:
  • Keep an eye on the weather.
  • Monitor broadcasts and ask for updates.
  • Don’t push your limits.
  • Make your diversion or land decision early.

This poster shows dark rain clouds with a windsock to measure wind speed and direction. It also includes the following text:

It’s deadly to minimize bad weather

• Cancel or delay the flight
• Respect the limits, yours and your aircraft’s
• Expect the worst, plan ahead, consider all your options

You always have a choice

The top image of the poster shows an empty conference room table. The bottom image shows an aircraft nose down in water. It also includes the following text:

Flying in bad weather can mean a dead end.

Don't let outside pressures of flying in unsafe conditions bring you down.

Cancel or delay the flight.

Remember...

You always have a choice

This poster shows diagrams and descriptions of different types of spark plug wear or damage

This poster shows a spark plug and lists these spark plug installation tips:

• A torque wrench should be used to apply the recommended torque.
• To avoid plug damage, always use a six-point socket.
• Never install a spark plug that has been dropped.
• To change polarity and equalize the firing wear, rotate spark plugs between even- and odd-numbered cylinders, or as specified by the engine manufacturer.
• Inspect plug connector well for proper internal sealing and evidence of gas leaks or flashover. Clean thoroughly the connector well, ignition harness connector terminal and seal grommet prior to installation.
• Inspect and clean the plug threads with a wire brush as necessary.
• Do not use a wire brush to clean electrodes.
• Check and close the ground electrode gap to the specified setting by applying pressure with the correct tool. Do not attempt to open gaps that are set too close.
• Apply a very small amount of anti-seize compound near the firing end of the plugs threads, but never to the first thread. To avoid a build-up of excess compound, consider this application for every third reinstallation after cleaning old plugs and for initial installation of new plugs.
• Use one new or annealed (if flat copper type) washer per plug.
• Do not add a washer where a thermocouple is installed.

• Where baggage is stowed
• How the seat belts work
• How to secure seat backs and tray tables
• How to know where you are in the plane no matter its position

• Where to find the emergency locator transmitter (ELT), survival kit, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, oxygen, etc.
• Rules about using electronic devices
• Where to find and how to use life preservers
• Rules about smoking
• Exiting underwater (underwater egress)

This poster shows a drawing of an passengers in airplane. Two of the passengers are being disruptive. Text includes “Examples include: Disobeying instructions of the crew; Causing a disturbance; Assault. Safety Advice For Everyone.”

Enjoy your flight and let others enjoy theirs.

• All passengers and cabin crew have the right to a safe flight.
• Any behaviour that interferes with a flight or puts the safety of passengers and crew at risk will not be tolerated.
• Unruly passenger behaviour can lead to steep fines and even criminal prosecution.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility.

If you are concerned about a situation that could affect the safety of your flight, report it to airline staff or a crew member.
