Application

This exemption applies to David Deslauriers, licence no. AA 388039, when he serves as chief pilot for PASCAN AVIATION INC, under the terms of its air operator certificate, no. 9633, to carry out its operations.

  1. When David Deslauriers attains a total of 250 hours as a pilot-in-command of a PC12;
  2. Midnight, ET, July 31, 2002;
