Those with aviation dreams in the Kivalliq capital just got a tremendous opportunity to pursue them, as the Atik Mason Indigenous Pilot Pathway program is opening in Rankin Inlet and seeking its first students.
SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a fully-funded opportunity for Indigenous community members to learn and fly and build a career as professional pilots,SA国际影视传媒� explained Lisa McGivery, manager of Exchange Income Corporation, an acquisition-oriented company focused on aerospace, aviation and manufacturing.
SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e really, really excited to have that program expand up there and give opportunity to more people to join the program and learn how to fly,SA国际影视传媒� she said.
The pathway program started in Thompson, Man., in 2022 as a response to the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action. This year, the program will be celebrating its first graduating class, with four students moving on to become line pilots and one becoming an instructor.
McGivery said the company wanted to focus on Northern communities and seeing as Calm Air is one of its subsidiaries, Rankin Inlet made sense.
SA国际影视传媒淚t gives a lot of the students the opportunity to fly in and out of their home communities, and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 something that weSA国际影视传媒檝e seen really good success with our initial Thompson class,SA国际影视传媒� said McGivery. SA国际影视传媒淎 lot of the students were really excited to become a pilot and be able to fly into their home communities.SA国际影视传媒�
Starting May, 12 students in Rankin Inlet will embark on the seasonal program, beginning with ground school lessons, including flight theory, aerodynamics, weather and aviation laws. They then move on to learning to fly and getting up into the air.
The aim after the first season is that students will be finished their recreational pilotSA国际影视传媒檚 license, and then in the following year, students can return to get their private pilot licence and onwards from there. Students who make it through both years will then have the option to transition to Moncton Flight College to pursue a commercial pilot licence and further training.
The only requirements to apply are a high-school diploma, be 18 or older, be in good physical health, have government identification and a Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. card.
SA国际影视传媒淵ou donSA国际影视传媒檛 necessarily have to have any flight training,SA国际影视传媒� said McGivery. SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 kind of the beauty of the program. It gives the opportunity to people who may have always wanted to be a pilot and never had the opportunity to do so.SA国际影视传媒�
SheSA国际影视传媒檚 hoping to get as many applications as possible, saying that students will be selected every year for as long as the program is running SA国际影视传媒� and currently, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 no end date for it.
SA国际影视传媒淚 think this program is incredibly important for our Indigenous communities,SA国际影视传媒� said McGivery. SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 really excited to say that weSA国际影视传媒檙e now seeing people get to the point of graduating, and itSA国际影视传媒檚 really exciting to watch them excel through the program and graduate and move forward with becoming a line pilot.SA国际影视传媒�
The program is named after Timothy Atik SA国际影视传媒楾ikSA国际影视传媒� Mason, an Indigenous pilot at Perimeter Aviation whose experience inspired the project. Mason is also a Juno award-winning musician who is one of ManitobaSA国际影视传媒檚 few commercially licensed indigenous pilots.
