Transport committee  That's correct.

Transport committee  It is not all cases, but in the majority of cases that would make sense.

Transport committee  No, but there have been dozens of studies done around the world by a number of organizations, a number of governments, and a number of investigative agencies. They have made recommendations to ICAO on the length of runway end safety areas.

Transport committee  That investigation is ongoing. Until we have determined the actual facts and come up with some causes and some findings, I can't report on that.

Transport committee  When we conduct an investigation, we look at all the standards that are in place, such as the international standards, the regulations, and the number of factors involved in an overrun. A number of factors are involved in a runway overrun. Some of them have to do with the aircraft travelling too fast on landing.

Transport committee  We participate in some meetings but we don't sit on their panels. We just look at the accident afterwards.

Transport committee  We have regulations that require aircraft operators, air traffic controllers, and pilots to report incidents as well as accidents. We investigate serious incidents as well as accidents. So if we feel there is a threat to safety, we will investigate that accident.

Transport committee  That's a level-of-service issue. There are rules and regulations in place for aircraft all over Canada to land at airports without air traffic control towers. If NavCanada decides a level of service is not required, they would do a study in-house to determine that. Our role is to investigate after an incident or an accident to determine if that was an issue.

Transport committee  It's just recently been approved by the Department of Justice and CARAC and they're now taking an impact analysis study at Transport Canada.

Transport committee  Fifteen years.

Transport committee  Yes, we made a recommendation to Transport Canada.

Transport committee  Transport Canada did follow the recommendation and it's taken a long time to get it through the legislative process.

Transport committee  I don't have that number handy.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  Transport Canada regulations require that pilots keep track of their hours and the times they fly and report them to the companies. It's up to Transport Canada to do the oversight on the companies and the pilots to ensure they're doing their job in keeping track of those hours.
