For those of you that are unfamiliarwith Cascade Aerospace, it is a company that is in many ways similarto IMP Aerospace, providing maintenance support to DND for allmodels of the CC130 Hercules aircraft as one of its main programs.In addition, Cascade Aerospace provides aircraft support services to avariety of commercial companies and government agencies. As aresult of this purchase, Cascade Aerospace will become astand-alone division within IMP Aerospace & Defence. This strategicacquisition will increase the scope and depth of the capabilities ofboth companies. Outwardly, we will become a more prominent andstronger force in the international aerospace community.I would encourage you to visit the Cascade Aerospace website(www.cascadeaerospace.com) should you wish to learn more aboutthis company.David A.

With the delivery of one, comes the induction of another. The CH149Cormorant maintenance team has turned a crucial corner and is nowfully transitioned from Aircraft Sampling Inspection (ASI) to DepotLevel Maintenance (DLM). The entire IMP CH149 maintenance teamwas both proud and gratified to see this aircraft take flight after itscomprehensive maintenance was complete and looks forward toapplying the ASI lessons learned to optimize a smooth-running andeffective DLM program.CH149902 arrived here in July 2010, the first of two Cormorants togo through the ASI program. Results of the inspection revealed thatthe second Cormorant (CH149910) was actually in better conditionthan CH149902. Therefore, emphasis was applied to the secondCormorant, resulting in CH149910 being delivered first, in April 2012.CH149902 commenced flight testing on October 29, following a verydetermined effort to complete the final required maintenance activities.Although high winds delayed testing to some extent, the aircraft wasdelivered and returned home to MOB Greenwood on November 10.CH149 CORMORANT DELIVERYSubmitted By: Mike MichaudThe delivery of CH149902 signifies the end to ASI and the continuationof DLM with the induction of the second DLM aircraft, CH149908, onNovember 13. Both the lessons learned and maintenance crewtraining opportunities offered by ASI have been well-documented andincorporated to ensure a successful steady-state DLM program for oneof Canada’s premier Search and Rescue (SAR) assets in the years tocome. As we bid farewell to our lead ASI aircraft, we also welcome therapidly maturing DLM program to #1 Hangar.Well done to all involved in ensuring the success of this complex andvital program in support of Canadian SAR capability.CH149902 on DepartureAC 908 on InductionAW101 CORMORANT RESCUE 915 AWARDED THE 2012 CORMORANT TROPHYSubmitted By: Clair HendersonThe 103 Search And Rescue (SAR) Squadron at Main Operating Base(MOB) Gander has been awarded the AgustaWestland 2012Cormorant Trophy for Helicopter Rescue for a treacherous night-timeicy Arctic sea rescue of two hunters.This year’s awarding of the Cormorant Trophy for the October 27,2011 rescue serves as a solemn reminder of the selfless dedication ofSAR crews and the dangers they face every day in Canada, with thedeath of Canadian Forces SAR Tech Sergeant Janick Gilbert, who hadearlier jumped into the water from an accompanying CC-130 Herculesto assist the hunters.“Despite the tragic loss of life, this rescue is being recognized becauseof the extreme circumstances of distance, location, weather conditionsand the rescue of two hunters, two SAR Techs from another squadronand the recovery of their companion,” said Jeremy Tracy,AgustaWestland’s Head of Region for Canada. “While there were anumber of very worthy contenders, this particular rescue stood out forthe complexity and danger and was therefore the unanimous choice ofthe adjudicators.”The winners were announced at the annual SAREX competition onSeptember 21 in Val-d’Or, Que. A presentation ceremony took placelater at 103 Squadron. The Cormorant Trophy for Helicopter Rescuerecognizes the Canadian civilian, government or military crew that hasperformed the most demanding helicopter rescue of the year.At 9 a.m. on October 27, 2011, the crew of AW101 Cormorant “Rescue915” from the 103 SAR Squadron were tasked with rescuing twowalrus hunters stranded on an ice flow in the Arctic sea near Igloolik,Nunavut. In planning the mission, it was realized they had to cover adistance of 2,780 km in the shortest time and with the fewest stops.The mission was plotted using no crew replacement and three veryshort fuel stops. After about 12 hours of flying with night setting in,Rescue 915 was told the conditions of the hunters had worsened. Inaddition, there were three SAR Techs from 424 Squadron at CanadianForces Base Trenton, Ont., who had parachuted into the water from aCC-130 Hercules and two Personal Locator Beacons had beenactivated indicating there was more trouble in the water.The crew of Rescue 915 arrived on scene and was confronted by 90km/h wind gusts, 10-metre-high violent waves tossing masses of iceinto the air, with life rafts, people and strobe lights in multiple locations.After rescuing the survivors from both life rafts and after a shortsearch, the unresponsive body of the third SAR Tech was spottedfloating in the ice and waves. For a third time, the CH149 SAR Techwas lowered into the icy waters to recover the body.Running low on fuel and with everyone accounted for, Rescue 915was able to finally head to Igloolik and further medical support, morethan 18 hours after their day had started.Both SAR teams were previously announced as winners of the Guildof Air Pilots and Air Navigators (GAPAN) Guild Award for Gallantry,which was presented at the medieval Guild Hall in London, England,October 23.This award not only shows the bravery of the aircrew, but highlights thehard work of the IMP ground crews in providing the aircraft that ensurethe rescues can be carried out successfully. Well done to everyoneinvolved and congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.103 SqdnTrophy Winning Crew

IMP AEROSTRUCTURES DOES THEIR PARTSubmitted By: Linda CarterOn August 26, a devastating fire in downtown Amherst left nearly 40 people homeless.They escaped with just the clothes on their backs. The fire also destroyed a historic partof the downtown core. Firefighters (some of them IMP Aerostructures employees) wereon scene for approximately 24 hours, bringing the fire under control and then remainingon scene for a few days after to battle hot spots.The community came out to support the first responders with donations of bottled water,food, and ice cold treats as well as supporting the victims of the fire with donations offurniture, clothing, food, and much more. Here at IMP Aerostructures, we knew we hadto do something to help out as well, so we held a food drive to collect non-perishablefood items, hygiene and household items. To make the drive more effective, a couple ofAerostructures employees went around the plant collecting monetary donations.IMP Aerostructures came together and collected a car load of donations.Thank you everyone who so kindly donated their time, food, and monetary donations tohelp our community at such a distressing time.As part of its ongoing commitment to Employment Equity, IMPAerospace & Defence has established a dedicated team working toimprove opportunities available to our current and future employees,in particular those from designated minority groups.

REMEMBERING PAT GOODFELLOWIt is with great sadness that we bid a fond farewell to Pat Goodfellowwho lost his battle against cancer on October 14, 2012.Pat and his family relocated from the UK to Canada in 1988. He cameto work at IMP as an Aircraft Mechanic. He had a number of otherpositions here at IMP including Mechanical Foreman, Training Officerand Production Supervisor. Pat then helped develop the CormorantProgram and was the first Site Manager at MOB Gander. From therehe came to CSC as the Deputy Program Manager. His last years at IMPwere spent managing the modification projects for the Cormorant fleet.Pat also had a lifelong love of trains and prior to his life in Canadawould spend many happy hours at the East Somerset Railway. InCanada, Pat turned his focus to model railways. His love of trainsencouraged him to take a trip across Canada by rail earlier this year.A trip he thoroughly enjoyed.Pat’s attitude towards his illness was inspirational. He faced it headon with amazing inner strength, and on his regular visits back to CSChe was always positive and upbeat.Pat was a dedicated and professional individual and a friend to many.He will be greatly missed by family, friends and colleagues.IN MEMORY OF ROBERT FACEYIt is with great sadness that t we announce the sudden loss ofRobert Facey who passed away unexpectedly on October 13, 2012.Originally from Twillingate, Nfld, Rob had been employed as anAirframe Mechanic with IMP for nearly eight years in total. Rob hadworked on various programs including the Egyptian Sea King, AIMP,NOAA, Cormorant, Components, and Aero Union. During his timehere, Rob had been involved in the IMP Hockey Tournaments andIMP Golf tournaments and made many close friends here at work.Rob’s toolbox along with his tools will be donated by his family to theCollege of the North Atlantic, where he received his diploma in AircraftMaintenance, and where future students will be able to use his tools.Quoted from E. Brenneman by Rob’s family; “Think of him as living inthe hearts of those he touched… for nothing loved is ever lost and hewas loved so very much”. Rob will be remembered by his work familyfor his contributions to our success and will be deeply missed by hisfriends and co-workers alike.HOLIDAY SPENDING TIPSSubmitted by: Ashley Lush on behalf of Wayne Coristine from Money Mentors – in partnership with Homewood Human Solutions,otherwise known as Resilience, our Employee Assistance Program.It’s no secret that this time of year is one of the most stressful forconsumers. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be. There are alot of quick and easy ways to keep your holidays costs down withoutsacrificing the experience of the season.Holiday spending should always start with a spending plan and a fewimportant questions:– How much have you allotted to spend?– Who are you buying for? Do you need to travel?– Are you entertaining family and friends?– What extra groceries will you need for holiday baking or a turkeydinner?– Are you buying a tree this year?– What about new decorations and lights?Think of your spending plan like your grocery list – if you stick to thelist, you’re more likely to avoid the statement shock when the billscome in January.“It’s very easy to be pulled into the festivities and spend more thanyou can afford every year leading up to the big day in December,”says Tracy Watson, spokesperson for Money Mentors. “It’s importantto remember that needs and wants apply to gift giving. For example,just because the most requested gift by kids between 6 and 12 is aniPad, it’s highly unlikely they need one…or that parents need to buythem one.”Holiday Tips from the counsellors at Money Mentors:Comparison-shopping is your friend. Do your research online andin flyers before you commit to buying.Give the gift of time: Plan to spend time together or do somethingfor people that already have everything.Host a potluck with friends and family. It splits the costs, addsvariety and you get all the best parts of entertaining.Buying for somebody special? You don’t have to break the bank tobe thoughtful.Start planning your 2013 Christmas expenses now. If you neednew decorations or lights, the best time to get them is in January,not October, November or December.Track your spending this year and make that your budget for nextyear. Then divide it by 12 and put that amount away each month.Having the money put aside will decrease stress this time nextyear…and save you money on credit card interest if you carry abalance after Christmas.When you’re buying gifts, remember: you don’t have to beeveryone’s Santa.
