Mark Laroche - Lancement `Drones interdits`
Thank you Minister Garneau. It is my pleasure to welcome you into our facility today to talk about unmanned aerial vehicles also known as drones – an emerging and rapidly growing threat to aviation safety and security. On April 17, a UAV hit British Airways flight 727 as it was on final approach into Heathrow’s Terminal 5. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 1 There were no injuries reported to the 137 souls on board, and the A320 aircraft was cleared for continued operations. Though this is the first reported collision with a passenger aircraft, the incident illustrates the potential danger that drones pose to the aviation industry, whether through unintentional or possible deliberate misuse. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 2 Comme le ministre Garneau l’a souligné, les drones sont de plus en plus utilisés à des fins récréatives et commerciales. Transport Canada issued nearly two thousand five hundred Special Flight Operations Certificates for drones that weigh more than thirty-five kilograms in 2015 and nearly twelve hundred already in 2016. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 3 This begs the question: how many were not registered? Plus l’on achète et utilise des drones, plus le risque potentiel pour la sûreté et la sécurité de l’aviation est grand. L’Administration se penche sur ce risque depuis un certain temps. We channeled our concern into a major emergency exercise that we carried out last fall involving first Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 4 responder organizations and many of our airport campus partners. The event scenario involved a drone striking an aircraft that was on its final approach into the airport, causing it to crash on the airfield, and resulting in mass casualties and injuries. While we all hope that such an event never happens, the potential is very real. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 5 Au bout du compte, nous devons être prêts, et un volet important de cette préparation consiste en premier lieu à atténuer le risque. There are various ways to mitigate risk. Technology can play a part, and there are companies around the world that are developing detection capabilities. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 6 We hope that technology will eventually be available for trial by Canadian airports to help enhance both situational awareness and ability to react in the event that a drone does venture too close to the airport. Transports Canada joue un rôle crucial dans l’atténuation de ces risques par sa réglementation, l’éducation et l’application de la loi, et nous sommes très heureux de constater que Transports Canada travaille sur une nouvelle Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 7 réglementation pour intégrer les drones dans l’espace aérien canadien. As mentioned, safety and security have always been key priorities, and we are always looking for ways to improve our preparedness and reduce risk inside the terminal, on airport property and in the vicinity of the airport. Our canine unit, our recent anti-pass back doors just above us, and our active loading at the curb, are just Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 8 three recent examples of how the Authority has put our commitment to security into action. The No Drone Zone campaign will add another layer to the risk mitigation toolkit while educating the public about the dangers of operating drones within nine kilometres of an airport. With effective enforcement, we hope owners and operators will think about Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 9 the rules and the risks before putting their drones in the air. There have been stiff penalties applied already, such as in a recent Calgary case where the user was criminally charged and will be fined for flying a drone near the airport. These deterrents are important if we are to effect change and make drone usage safer for our community. Ottawa International Airport Authority | UAV Awareness Campaign Launch Mark Laroche Speaking Notes Updated: June 13, 2016 9:25am 10 Nous nous réjouissons de participer à la discussion sur les UAV et ferons notre part pour répéter haut et fort que les aéroports sont des zones interdites aux drones et diffuser à grande échelle ce message. Je vous remercie de votre attention. Thank you.
