Flight Sim Association
Demonstration: Home Flight Simulation
Presented by Flight Simulation Association, organizers of the annual FlightSimExpo aviation and flight simulation convention.
Looking to leverage home flight simulation for personal or professional applications? Maybe you’ve heard about how flight simulation can help stay proficient between flights, or even add hours to your logbook. This hands-on demonstration will show how flight simulation—accessible on a computer, mobile device, or console from anywhere—can be used for training, proficiency, and fun!

ALPA Simulator
The Air Canada pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), invite you to explore the world of commercial aviation with their flight simulator. We ask that you consider making a donation to the Christina Thomson Aviation Scholarship, a scholarship that honours the late Christina Thomson, a beloved WestJet pilot, and will support future female pilots in Canada.
​
Pilots will be on board to share their career stories and answer any questions about what it takes to fly today’s modern aircraft.

ATESS
The OSCER is the On Scene Control and Emergency Response vehicle, its primary purpose is to respond to emergency incidents and provide a command post from which the response team can coordinate emergency services personnel and equipment. It provides a flexible command and control suite that is both portable and adaptable to enable the command team to manage multiple services to respond to a critical incident in a timely and coordinated manner. Often the different emergency services have conflicting priorities by providing a command team to manage them the needs of the situation can be prioritized ensuring improved safety and security of personnel and protecting the scene for future investigation.
