QuoteQuoteFor example, Pitt Meadows, Beiseker, Dunnville and all the big DZs in Quebec require everyone to wear AADs.
Just how many big DZ's are there in Quebec? A few, several, or many?![]()
i'd hardly call that many!

According to CANPARA Magazine (June/July 2007), there are nine CSPA Member Groups in Quebec.
Further reading reveals that three of them only operate single Cessnas.
Two more operate pairs of Cessnas.
Adrenaline (St. Jerome) operates a pair of Cessna 206s and trained seven new certificate-holders.
Atmosph Air (St. Jean Chrysotome) operates a pair of piston-pounding Cessnas, a Cessna 208 and a Bonanza (??? maybe they meant a Twin Bonanza???), but did not mention any new certificate-holders.
Nouvel Air (Farnham) flies a trio of Beech 18s and a Twin Otter ... and trained 13 certificate-holders recently.
Voltige (Lourdes de Jolliette) fly a Grand Caravan and a pimped-out Cessna 182 and mentioned one new certificate-holder.
So that sounds like only three Quebec DZS operate turbines, and only four DZs do the bulk of the business in Quebec.
This small sample does not reveal how many Quebec DZs focus on being "tandem factories," but I do know that Nouvel Air graduated sixty (60) PFF students in May!
Trivia: the busiest DZ - outside of Quebec - is the the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue (on the West Coast), which trained eight new certificate-holders.
To answer your question: there are four busy DZs in Quebec.
