Aero Linx: 1 Canadian Forces Flying Training School 1 Canadian Forces Flying Training School (1 CFFTS) is a dynamic, multi-dimensional aircrew training facility whose mission is: “To select, develop, and graduate professional, Wings-qualified aircrew fully capable of operating in the demanding and sophisticated environment of modern air warfare.” Utilizing the CT-142 ‘Gonzo’, a DeHavilland Dash-8 modified specifically for non-pilot aircrew training flown by 402 "City of Winnipeg" Squadron, and a state-of-the-art simulator, 1 CFFTS trains aircrew to perform the spectrum of functions from sensor operations through routine navigation to tactical mission management.

Safety Alert A safety alert issued by ATC to aircraft under their control if ATC is aware the aircraft is at an altitude which, in the controller’s judgment, places the aircraft in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft. The controller may discontinue the issuance of further alerts if the pilot advises he/she is taking action to correct the situation or has the other aircraft in sight.

Source: Tom Charpentier, EAA government relations director, commenting as the FAA proposes to fix a technicality in the Federal Aviation Regulations that prevents pilots flying under BasicMed from operating, in most cases, as safety pilots under simulated instrument conditions.
