Military Ensures Safety Standards of its
Air Assets
At the invitation of the Jamaica Defence
Force (JDF), the Canadian Forces flying standard and technical evaluation
team is in Jamaica conducting a flight standard evaluation and maintenance
inspection of the JDF Air Wing. The term will carry out maintenance standard
inspection of both the fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.
The seven-member standards team is from the Canadian Flying School. The team
will be in Jamaica from 02-07 March 2003. The JDF’s request for an expert
standards team was facilitated by the Canadian Military Training Assistance
Steering Committee.
Their mission is to evaluate the JDF Air Wing flying training and the
efficiency, maintenance standards and effectiveness of the technical
training. Subsequently, the inspectors will re-certify the JDF personnel on
the Griffin 412 and the As355N helicopters and on the BN2A Islander and
Cessna 210 aircraft.
While in Jamaica the Canadian Forces members will not participate in any
form of combat operation or civil-military action.
