Transport Canada Suspends Air Operator Certificate of David Williamson Atlantic School of Skydiving

News Release

No. A013/06
For release - November 22, 2006
MONCTON — Transport Canada today announced the suspension of David Williamson, doing business as Atlantic School of Skydiving, effective November 22 to November 28, 2006. This punitive suspension was issued as a result of the company failing to keep technical records in respect of the air operator's aircraft, specifically the Aircraft Journey Logbooks, which is in contravention to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).
This action was taken following a Transport Canada investigation. David Williamson operates a specialty air service using two light aircraft under day and night visual flight rules providing lifts for parachutists and parachute training at the Atlantic School of Skydiving at the Waterville/Kings County Municipal Airport in Nova Scotia.
In the Fall of 2004, the same company's Air Operating Certificate was suspended from September 13 to October 27 as a result of the company operating without a Chief Pilot, without liability insurance and for failing to retain training records. At that time, the company was also assessed an administrative penalty of $500.
The company currently meets all applicable rules and regulations to hold an Air Operator Certificate. It will be able to resume its operations once the punitive suspension has been served. Transport Canada will continue to monitor the Atlantic School of Skydiving as part of its ongoing oversight of the transportation industry to verify that the company adheres to all applicable safety standards and regulations.
