Leadership Spokane is committed to the truism that leaders always learn. This past weekend was a big weekend for our program as our two Gala Leadership award winners participated in the Lilac Festival Torchlight parade. We are very grateful to Dr. Lisa Brown (King Cole Luminary Award winner) and Ira Amstadter (Lifetime Alumni Achievement Award winner) for representing our organization with pride and enthusiasm. It was an incredible parade, like it always is, and co-presidents Karen Montague and Cindy Zapotocky can be credited for leading a team that had a flawless 79th running of Lilac week. It reminded me how important it is for leaders to be accountable to their organizations and their mission. The Lilac Festival has a long history of honoring our community, our youth and our military and this year the Lilac leadership team was perfectly accountable to that long history—that is an awesome responsibility. On a picture perfect night with smiles abounding, it was clear the Lilac Festival was accountable to its proud heritage.
Accountability, while not often mentioned outside of public service circles, is part of a leader's DNA because at its core is trust. Without trust, a leader is weakened and has only to rely on position to achieve results. A poem by an unknown author describes the accountability challenge.
This is a story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybodyʹs job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
It is the leader who ensures that Somebody does the job.
A 2013 article by Vernon Myers in The Resourceful CEO states: "Accountability is a mindset, a way of thinking where results matter, and the leader is personally invested in the outcome that he or she is responsible for." More often than not, there is frustration with the term accountability because followers feel leaders do not take responsibility for missteps. When leaders own up to mistakes, trust builds exponentially.
Myers suggests the following to hone in on accountability.
- Understand what you are responsible for
- Review policies, guidelines, and regulations that relate to your mission and objectives
- Always deal honestly and fairly with your followers and constituents
- When you are wrong, admit it early and often… and fix the situation quickly
- Never try to hide a potential problem; bad problems don't get better with age or time
Watching the recent movie Sully cataloguing Captain Sullenberger's incredible landing of his damaged airliner on the Hudson River, saving all the passengers, I was struck by his accountability for his passengers. After going back and forth on the flooding plane to ensure no one was left behind, he was the last off the crashed plane. Getting to shore by the rescue crews, this veteran pilot had one thing on his mind ignoring all other conversations. What was the count of the rescued? The magic number was 155. Finally, at the hospital, the head of the union gave him the final count. 155—all were saved and he was relieved. Sully counted. He ensued Somebody did their job. Leaders should always count. Leaders are accountable.
Accountability breeds response-ability. ~ Stephen Covey

Severe storms hit FL
Strong storms in northern Florida destroyed at least three homes and damaged another three dozen on Christmas morning.
BY DISASTER NEWS NETWORK | BALTIMORE | December 25, 2006
Strong storms in northern Florida destroyed several homes and damaged dozens more on Christmas morning.
In Columbia County, three homes were destroyed and another three dozen were damaged near Lake City, about 60 miles west of Jacksonville. Two people were injured.
At least seven homes in the Tampa Bay Golf Course area are uninhabitable, according to Doug Tobin, spokesperson for the Pasco County Sheriff's office. More than 30 homes in that area were damaged, Tobin said. Two people had minor injuries.
Local officials said the damage tallies may rise as assessments continue.
The National Weather Service issued a warning only moments before the storm struck around 11 a.m.
Forecasters said the damage was most likely caused by a tornado.
The National Weather Service reported 5.58 inches of rainfall at the Tallahassee Regional Airport - the most on Christmas Day since 1897.
Thunderstorms also moved through South Florida. Most of South Florida was under a tornado watch on Christmas Day.
Bad weather will continue through much of the evening, forecasters said, and will spread upward from Florida into North Carolina.

Young Bloods Art Collective celebrates "Breaking Boxes" exhibition Friday evening
May 25, 2017
If you go:
What: Young Blood Collective: Closing Party for Breaking Boxes
When: 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 26
Where: Steamboat Springs Center for Visual Arts, 837 Lincoln Ave.
Breaking down barriers, the Young Bloods Collective introduces a new community of creatives to Steamboat Springs' art scene.
And it started with the concept of boxes.
In April, the Center for Visual Arts approached the collective, a nonprofit serving the next generation of creatives in Routt County, to create a small works show that would be showcased at the Lincoln Avenue gallery.
To encourage artists to go in a variety of directions, cigar boxes were chosen as a theme by Brianna Kole, founder of Young Bloods Collective, and the organization's board.
After an open call to collective members, the artists took the idea and created something Kole said was incredibly different from what they had expected.
"The results were incredibly different," Kole said. "Some of the pieces are interactive, others are more thought provoking and some are exploratory. I think it makes the art so much more accessible to have a variety of pieces anyone can engage with from a fine art artist to anyone off the street."

To celebrate YBC's second official group show there will a Closing Party for Breaking Boxes from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Center for Visual Arts, 837 Lincoln Ave. Not only will the 13 featured artists be present for a question-and-answer session, but winners for Best of Show will be announced based on people's choice voting that started at the May 5 First Friday Artwalk.
"The idea of the 'Breaking Boxes' exhibit is to break down social barriers, political barriers or even the barriers within our own community of YBC breaking out and showing there is more to this community than what we've seen, and it doesn't have to be this way anymore," Kole said. "There is an opportunity to totally shift this cultural climate and make it more representative of those who live and work three jobs to live here who also want to make art in this community."

Between those pretty dreams.
Children...kiss the ring
Children...kiss the blade
Blood, blood money
Which hand holds your hand?
-Sisters of Mercy.
"If you want him, he's yours."
Fenris whipped around, staring at Hawke in disbelief. The others said something which he didn't really hear, all he saw was Hawke, not just the Champion of Kirkwall, but the man whom he had thought a friend, an ally, and yes maybe even more than that. He had expected a lot of this meeting, but none of them being this. "What?" Was the only answer he could muster. He could see his newfound sister scurry away from the corner of his eye. Fenris' heart beat so fast he thought he might faint. For a moment he searched Hawke's eyes for compassion, anything that would tell him that this was a cruel joke. He found none.
"Interesting, I'll make it worth your while, of course. The power of the imperium will be at your disposal." Danarius said with a smile on his lips, eying Fenris greedily.
Fenris couldn't believe this was happening, why had he not seen this coming? Why had he trusted Hawke when his sixth sense had told him not to? He dared not even look at Danarius, the glare from the mage made his skin crawl. He wanted to scream at Hawke, wanted to curse him and that blighted mage friend of his, he was -sure- it was Anders and Justice that had gotten the better of Hawke. It was not like Hawke to go back on what he said, and Fenris still recalled all the things said when they had shared a moment in passion. There was just no better way of putting it, because he knew they had not made love, they had used each other for a purpose, and it was alright, but... Hawke had said they would see this through, that they would find some solution. And now this! This betrayal! Short of reaching out pulling Hawke close to remind him of who they were, Fenris resolved to begging, "Don't do this Hawke, I -need- you." He knew he couldn't take on Danarius on his own. He suddenly regretting not telling Hawke what his life had been like while in Danarius' mercy, maybe if he had known, this would never have happened? Fenris clenched his hands and resisted the urge to scream in frustration. He realised with a sinking feeling that he was fooling himself, Hawke didn't care, when a push came to a shove, Hawke was a mage, and apparently they had some sort of brotherhood, even with the sorts of Danarius.
Hawke's eyes didn't leave Fenris, as he straightened himself and said "You're on your own, Fenris."
And finally Fenris realised the horrifying truth, he was being traded off, from one cruel master to another. Where as Danarius had used magic to keep him in line, Hawke had used lies and betrayal. As Fenris stared into Hawke's cold brown eyes he didn't know which was worse, shackles of iron, or love. Oh he had been such an idiot, and only had himself to blame, he should have left, he should never have asked Hawke to come here, but since Hawke had helped him with killing Hadrianna, he had never in a million years thought that he would turn on him now. True they weren't friends, they were not lovers, they were companions at best. But where as Hawke loved his family, and as far as Fenris suspected, Anders' uncomplicated affection. Fenris had loved Hawke like a brother. "I suppose I should not be surprised." He said with a tiny voice, close to a whisper, close to tears of anger and frustration that he refused to shed. He eyed the door of the Hanged man, wondering if he made a wild dash for it, would make it. He knew he wouldn't. But he still entertained the idea for a second. Fenris finally looked away from Hawke and down to the floor between his feet, he looked down at the rings that Hawke had given him, childishly he wanted to rip the off and toss them straight in the Champions face, and with a little luck he would be blinded. "That's our champion." Fenris heard Varric protest in the background, it made him feel a little better that someone at least came to his defense. And Varric of all people, he had never been nice to the dwarf, never had a reason to, and he for sure never thought he would stand in this situation at all. Fenris looked up at Hawke for a second, but was only met by the same cold eyes as before.
It felt like his heart was breaking, not because he loved Hawke, but because he had allowed himself to believe in a possible future. True he had used Hawke to finally be free of his past, and his old masters. But seems like Hawke had used him too, used him to get a foot in with the Tevinter Imperium mages. Recalling Hawke's drunken rants about when he was Viscount some day, they had laughed at him, thinking he was talking out his ass. Apparently not! Was Fenris the only one who didn't know? Fenris stood still, afraid to even breathe, his mind refusing to register this situation at all, and in the end all defiance, all light just left him. It was the Fog-warriors all over again, his master was here, there was no need in pretending. "What shall it be, Fenris? Will you throw your life away? " Danarius said, crossing his arms over his chest, waiting for Fenris to react.
Fenris' shoulder slumped, and his chin dropped to his chest as he slowly turned from Hawke, and to face Danarius. He opened his mouth but no words came out, he looked up at the mage, obscured by his white hair. For a second he was calculating the pros and cons, fighting, resisting, would be suicide. But so would following Danarius out of here. He had always thought that Danarius was only after the Lyrium in his skin, but now he realised that this was not the case. Danarius was after -him- as much as his investment of the lyrium tattoos. "No.." Fenris said, taking a deep breath, praying to any entity that would aid him, knowing that none would answer. "I will go with you." He added in a mechanical tone, and with those words he resigned himself to his fate, and he realised that he would never get away, this was his place, his reason. Maybe oblivion was that bad, compared to the hate that ate him alive inside. Fenris resisted the urge to look back at Hawke, Anders and Varric behind him.
"Lovely. Here's a token of my appreciation, Champion. I am sure I can arrange to have something more... Appropriate sent along soon." Danarius cheered, handing Hawke something that Fenris couldn't see, -bloodmoney- came to mind, but he didn't dare utter it, knowing that he had caused enough trouble for his master as it was, and whatever he had too look forward to when they left the Hanged man was harrowing at best. Fenris closed his eyes, and for a second he could cheat himself to remember sitting at these same tables that now only stood in his way to doom, drinking with Isabela and Varric, -that- had been the time of his life really. And Hawke aside, it would be what he would miss the most, being carefree, being his own, being amongst friends. He who had not had friends before felt strangely reluctant to leave that behind, it had been a good warm feeling, but maybe it had all been in his head, just as his supposed brotherly relation to Hawke which clearly never existed. He wanted to say something to Varric at least, but found that words eluded him, so he just dared a swift gaze at the dwarf, who looked utterly appalled at the whole situation, Fenris wished he could have found it in him to smile at Varric but he just couldn't, it felt too insincere. So he just trained his gaze back at the floor, waiting for Danarius to move. "Come along everyone, the boat leaves for Minrathous within the hour." Danarius said sauntering out of the Hanged man, looking mostly like a giant predator after a meal. Fenris left as the last, Danarius didn't even have to make sure he followed, he knew he would. Even if Fenris easily could have taken out the guard at his side, he had lost any reason to do it. Fenris stopped at the door and took a deep breath, and then he looked over his shoulder at the trio in the middle of the room, he wanted to look resentful, but all he could manage was a -why- written all over his face. The guard pushed him, and that set Fenris in motion again, whatever fate awaited the Champion or Kirkwall, it would be without Fenris.
"Hawke." Anders called, "There's a letter from Tevinter for you." He held up an envelope.
"Not now." Hawke sighed, deflating in an armchair, "I'm so tired i don't even think i can make it upstairs. Maker!" He kicked off his boots while swearing under his breath at the amount of straps.
Anders opened the letter and read it over, "It's from Danarius." He just said with a flat voice, he -had- hated Fenris with a vengeance, but still it felt oddly wrong that they had just handed him over like that. They had agreed it was for the best, should the situation ever occur, and here was the fruits of their betrayal. "Want me to read it for you?"
"Yeah." Hawke waved a hand in the air to signal that he wasn't going to participate in it.
Anders cleared his throat;
Garrett Hawke,
Many thanks for the kind return of my property. Fenris is his usual compliant self now that his memories have been once again removed. Not a simple process, but considering the investment, I consider it very much worth while.
As promised, I'm enclosing a gift from the storehouses of the Archanist hall in Minrathous. Should you ever find yourself in the Imperium, do feel free to visit. I'll provide a tour of the Hall myself, if you like.
Hawke sighed, "Maybe that is for the best."
Anders shook his head, "Ever think that we might have been wrong?" He said with a soft voice, coming to sit on the arm rest of Hawke's chair. "It's not any better than the mages made tranquil, is it?"
"No." Hawke admitted, "Fenris' sacrifice was not for nothing, my love." He smiled tired up at Anders' worried face, "He doesn't hate the world anymore, and I have a friend in high places in Minrathous."
"True." Anders admitted.
"In war and politics.." Hawke said with a tired smile.
"Love and war." Anders corrected with a slightly disturbed expression.
"Love.." Hawke tasted the word, and then smiled a little mysterious smile, "Of course, i meant l -love- how silly of me." He got up from the chair with a tired moan, trodding upstairs to his bed, closely followed by Anders.

To be honest, we didn't get too wrapped up in the small hype leading up to Topshop's "big" reveal of which starlet will front their holiday campaign, complete with its very own hashtag (#whosthatgirl). So many actresses fronting fashion brands, so little time...
But, today, when we found out that Kate Bosworth is Topshop's new girl, we changed our tunes a bit. The actress stars in the retailer's Christmas movie, singing a sultry version of "Winter Wonderland" à la Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Fabulous Baker Boys" (seriously, that was the inspiration). The short clip was directed by Kate's fiancé, Hollywood director Michael Polish, and she looked beautiful and relaxed playing the role of lounge singer for her future hubby.
The "Blue Crush" star added yet another personal touch to the campaign by helping the Topshop team design the custom sparkly cocktail dress she wore in the video. And the good news is: the entire look, shoes and makeup included, will all be available for purchase. You can get the cosmetics via topshop.com now and place your special, made-to-order request for the dress or shoes as well.
So if the high street store's holiday campaign lived up to your expectations: happy shopping! If not, there's always next season. Maybe they'll get Karlie Kloss again...
Think Kate Bosworth will be making a repeat performance with Topshop next season? Check out some celebs who reappeared in ad campaigns:

My Joy
The vet we were taking him to has been absolutely wonderful and I wanted to make a Christmas card to thank them. The theme over at Inspiration Emporium is Joy and I thought this was a perfect word for the card.
I wanted to make the card personal and decided to use the most recent picture we had of our cats. The other difficult thing about loosing him was he also left behind a brother who also misses him greatly. You can see both of them in the picture under our Christmas Tree.
I wanted to really highlight the picture so I used The Tim Holtz tissue tape technique found in the Compendium of Curiosities volume 2. This is this weeks Challenge over at L3 Studios. Go check it out for a chance to win a gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp.
As my husband told me these memories of our little "boy" that make me so sad now will eventually be happy Joyous memories. Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you find Joy in many things this Christmas season and the upcoming year!

Piper PA-28R-180, C-FURX
South River, Ontario, 22 sm E
10 October 2009
The Piper PA-28R-180 aircraft (C-FURX, serial number 28R30535) departed Kingston, Ontario, at 1827 Eastern Daylight Time on a night visual flight rules (VFR) flight to Sudbury, Ontario. On board the aircraft were the pilot and three passengers. The estimated time of arrival at Sudbury was 2042. At 2052, an emergency locator transmitter signal was reported by an overflying aircraft. Upon confirmation that the aircraft had not arrived at Sudbury, the Trenton Joint Rescue Coordination Centre was notified and a search initiated. The aircraft was located the following day at 0302, approximately 22 statute miles east of South River, Ontario. All four occupants were fatally injured.

Other Factual Information
History of Flight
On the day of the occurrence, the pilot contacted the London Flight Information Centre (FIC) to obtain a weather briefing for a visual flight rules flight from Sudbury to Kingston, with a view to returning to Sudbury in the evening. During the briefing, the pilot was informed that a cold front was moving in from the west, extending north to south, and would reach Sudbury at approximately 2000 1. Ahead of the front, the forecast was for showers and a ceiling of 3000 feet above sea level (asl). As the briefing continued, the pilot was advised that if the arrival in Sudbury was before dark, the weather would remain suitable for a VFR flight. However, after dark, the forecast called for isolated, towering cumulus clouds and a visibility of 3 miles in light snow showers. In Sudbury, the sunset was to be at 1847 and twilight at 1917. At 1132, the pilot contacted the London FIC for a second time, filed a flight plan for Kingston and also obtained an updated weather forecast for the return flight to Sudbury. The aircraft departed Sudbury at 1208 and arrived in Kingston at 1357.
At 1655, the pilot phoned the London FIC to obtain a weather briefing for the return flight from Kingston to Sudbury. The pilot planned on departing Kingston at 1800, with an estimated time of arrival in Sudbury between 2000 and 2030.
At 1755, the pilot placed a second call to the London FIC to file a VFR flight plan. The flight plan indicated that it was to be a VFR flight direct to Sudbury, with airspeed of 135 knots and a time en route of 2 hours and 15 minutes. The estimated time of arrival in Sudbury was 2042, with 3.5 hours of fuel on board. The aircraft departed Kingston at 1827. The last radio contact occurred as the aircraft was leaving the Kingston control zone.
The pilot did not contact the Montreal Area Control Centre (ACC) to request radar service. The radar system available to the Montreal ACC did, however, record the first 30 minutes of the flight, as the aircraft departed Kingston and became established en route. The last radar hit recorded by the Montreal ACC was at 1852. The aircraft was on a direct track to Sudbury at 3000 feet asl.
The aircraft first appeared on the North Bay radar at 1937. It was approximately 30 nautical miles (nm) north of the direct track to Sudbury and at 2400 feet asl. The last radar contact occurred at 1941. The aircraft was approximately 3 nm south east of the accident site at 2100 feet asl. During the last four minutes of radar coverage, there were several heading changes, mainly from westerly to northwesterly in direction.
At 2052, the Toronto ACC contacted the Trenton Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) to report that emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signals were being received by an overflying aircraft. At 2139, the London FIC reported that the aircraft was overdue, that the Sudbury flight service station (FSS) had not made radio contact with the aircraft and that a ramp check confirmed the aircraft had not arrived at the Sudbury Airport.
The coordinates for the previous two radar contacts were provided to Search and rescue aircrafts, which arrived in the area of the accident at 0015 on 11 October 2009. Poor local weather conditions hampered the search. The aircraft was located at 0302.
Wreckage Information
The accident site was located near the western boundary of Algonquin Park. The terrain was hilly, with ground elevations up to 1750 feet asl. The hills were covered with 80 to 100 foot tall hardwood trees. The main wreckage was located approximately at the mid-point of a tree covered hill, at an elevation of 1660 feet asl. The aircraft was at a near-level altitude when it began to strike the tops of trees, which were located at the base of a gulley prior to rising terrain. Substantial aircraft break-up occurred and several parts of the aircraft were identified along the wreckage trail leading to the main wreckage. The wreckage trail measured approximately 300 feet in length. Heavier components, such as the engine and propeller, were located beyond the main wreckage. The aircraft was intact prior to tree impact and the engine was developing power. Due to the extent of the debris field, the amount of damage and the large number of leaves on the ground, investigators were unable to locate several key instruments such as the aircraft altimeter.
Aircraft Information
Records indicate that the aircraft was certified, equipped and maintained in accordance with existing regulations and approved procedures. Navigation equipment included a Garmin GPSMAP 696. This model offered the satellite weather option (subject to a 15 minute delay) as well as a terrain/moving map feature. Damage to the GPS unit precluded the downloading of data. It is therefore unknown whether these features were used. The aircraft was not equipped with a Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS), nor was it required to be by regulation.
Pilot Information
The pilot held a valid private pilot licence for single engine land and seaplanes. The last pilot logbook entry was dated 23 August 2009. The pilot had accumulated 205.4 hours of total time, broken down as follows:
|Day/PIC 2
The pilot had completed the required training and applied for a night rating; however, there were no records to indicate that Transport Canada had received the application. A rating had not been issued either. Part of this night training included a night time cross-country flight from Sudbury to Kingston with an instructor. This was done on 5 June 2009, which was the last time the pilot had flown at night prior to the accident. Based on logbook entries, this occurrence was to be the pilot's first night time cross-country flight as pilot-in-command. The pilot did not hold an instrument flight rules (IFR) rating.
The investigation found no evidence to indicate that the pilot's performance was impacted by physiological factors.
Weather Information
At 1655, the pilot phoned the London FIC to confirm if the forecast weather for Sudbury had improved. The London FIC provided information derived from the Graphical Area Forecast (GFA) for the Ontario/Québec region at 1341, which was valid for use from 2000 onward (see Figure 1).
A cold front stretching from east of Sault Ste. Marie northward to Timmins was the major meteorological influence.
Figure 1. GFA showing intended route and point of departure. Destination is end of line.
East of the cold front, in the area stretching from Algonquin Park southeast toward Kingston, the GFA was forecasting:
- scattered clouds based at 4000 feet, with tops between 6000 and 7000 feet asl; and
- visibility of more than six miles.
Immediately east of the cold front, the GFA was forecasting the following:
- ceilings of 800 feet above ground level (agl);
- visibility of 4 statute miles (sm) in light rain showers and mist;
- scattered, towering cumulus clouds with tops at 18 000 feet asl; and
- intermittent visibilities from 5 to more than 6 sm in light rain and mist.
Immediately west of the cold front, the GFA was calling for:
- ceilings of 500 feet agl;
- visibility of ¾ sm in light snow showers;
- scattered, towering cumulus clouds with tops at 18 000 feet asl;
- intermittent visibilities from 3 to 6 sm in light snow; and
- layer of broken cloud based at 3000 feet asl and topped at 16 000 feet asl.
Further west, the GFA called for:
- visibilities of 3 sm in light snow showers;
- isolated, towering cumulus clouds topped at 8000 feet asl;
- elsewhere visibilities greater than 6 sm; and
- broken cloud layer based at 3000 feet asl and topped at 8000 feet asl.
The cold front was moving east at 30 knots, doubling in speed from the previous GFA. It was estimated to arrive in the Sudbury area at about the same time as the flight. The cold front had passed Sault Ste. Marie earlier. The ceiling was recorded as 800 feet agl, with a visibility of 3 sm in snow showers.
The pilot and the London FIC discussed departing Kingston to arrive in Sudbury before the front moved in and considered North Bay as an alternate destination, which was 59 nm to the east of Sudbury.
At 1755, the pilot placed a second call to the London FIC to file a VFR flight plan. When asked if weather or other information was needed, the pilot referred to the previously obtained briefing. Having already acquired weather information and made the decision to undertake the flight, the pilot inquired about any changes for Sudbury. Information derived from the Sudbury terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF) and weather radar was provided.
The TAF for Sudbury, within the timeframe of the flight, was as follows:
- from 1800, wind 220 degrees true at 12 knots gusting 22, visibility of greater than 6 sm and cloud at 5000 feet broken; and
- temporarily from 1800 to 2200, visibility of 5 sm with light rain showers and mist, as well as a broken cloud layer at 2000.
The weather radar at Sudbury displayed weak returns toward the west, indicating isolated rain showers. The London FIC also provided abbreviated weather reports for Gore Bay and a variety of airports to the west of Sudbury. The London FIC indicated that the weather conditions for Sudbury, at the time of arrival, were forecast to be favourable and that any precipitations would be very light.
The NAV CANADA Flight Services Manual of Operations (FS MANOPS) requires flight service specialists to acquire insight into a pilot's intentions and requirements, as well as provide the necessary related briefings. The pilot did not request the aviation routine weather reports (METAR) or special reports (SPECI) 3 in full for various stations near the route of flight, including reported altimeter settings and winds aloft. Paragraph 305.4E of the FS MANOPS requires flight service specialists to provide "details of surface weather observations, aerodrome forecast, forecast winds and temperatures." However, the specialist has the discretion to provide additional weather information, even if it may not be entirely consistent with the pilot's stated requirements; 4 no additional information was provided.
At the time of the occurrence, the weather in the vicinity of the accident included a mixture of rain and snow, as well as gusting wind conditions, estimated to be in excess of 25 knots.
Route Information
The pilot planned a direct route from Kingston to Sudbury. Initial radar returns indicate that the pilot was following the planned route and with such precision as to suggest the on‑board GPS was used as the primary navigational aid. While navigation charts were on board, it is unknown whether the pilot made use of them during pre-flight planning or while en route.
The flight departed Kingston at 1827. Civil twilight for the Kingston area was calculated to end at 1859. With the exception of the first thirty two minutes, the flight was conducted at night.
The selected route took the aircraft over terrain that provided fewer and fewer features as the flight progressed northwest of Kingston. Visual navigation would have been challenging at night. Any lights on the ground that could have assisted the pilot would have been sparse and, based on forecast and reported weather conditions, may not have been visible.
The planned route would take the aircraft over higher terrain. The Kingston airport elevation is 303 feet asl. The flight would have overflown areas, with maximum elevation figures 5 ranging from 1700 to as high as 2400 feet asl. A direct route would have taken the aircraft over spot elevations as high as 1875 feet asl in Algonquin Park.
The planned route of flight provided few ground stations from which the pilot could obtain updated weather information or ask for assistance. These ground stations were Kingston, North Bay, Muskoka and Sudbury. Successful radio communications would be subject to the line-of-sight limitations of the very high frequency (VHF) transceivers used in civil aviation.
If the aircraft were to maintain an altitude of 3000 feet asl, the theoretical radio range 6 would have precluded communications with both North Bay, located 50 nm northwest of the accident site, and Muskoka, located 65 nm southwest of the accident site.
The aircraft exited the Kingston area level at 2500 feet asl. It later climbed to 3000 feet asl where it remained until initial radar coverage was lost. The first hit recorded by the North Bay radar was at 1937, when the aircraft was shown at an altitude of 2400 feet asl. The last radar hit was at 1941 at an altitude of 2100 feet asl. As the flight progressed, the aircraft descended over rising terrain where the theoretical VHF range would have been even lower. The pilot's only recourse would have been to attempt to communicate with an overflying aircraft on a common frequency with which information could have been relayed. It is unknown whether this was attempted.
Aircraft Altimeters
Aircraft altimeters are calibrated to indicate true altitude when International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) 7 conditions exist.
Actual conditions typically vary from ISA conditions. As a result, the indicated altitude will differ from the actual height of the aircraft above mean sea level. For differences in pressure, altimeters incorporate a controllable subscale, which a pilot can set to the actual barometric pressure. Section 602.35 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations requires pilots to set altimeters:
- to the setting or elevation of the aerodrome before taking off;
- to the setting of the nearest station along the route of flight or, where the nearest stations along the route of flight are separated by more than 150 nautical miles, to the altimeter setting of a station near the route of flight; and
- to the altimeter setting of the aerodrome before commencing a descent for landing, if the setting is obtainable.
For differences in temperature, calculations would have to be made. If the actual temperature is lower than standard, as was the case in this occurrence, the true altitude would be lower than indicated.
Examination of the aircraft revealed no pre-impact faults, and all damage was a result of several tree and ground impacts. The aircraft was in controlled level flight when it struck the trees. This analysis focuses on the weather as well as the pilot's experience and decision making.
The major part of the occurrence flight was to be conducted at night. While documents indicated the required training to obtain a night rating had been completed, the pilot's license had not yet been endorsed. The pilot had minimal experience flying at night. The pilot had flown this trip before with his instructor, and the aircraft was equipped with a GPS. The pilot likely felt capable of undertaking the flight, notwithstanding the navigational challenges of flying at night over areas that provided few useable visual aids.
Good VFR weather persisted in Kingston for the entire day of 10 October 2009. Between the time the pilot first contacted the London FIC for a weather briefing and the time of departure from Kingston, the visibility was 15 sm and there was no ceiling. There were only a few clouds at 6000 feet and scattered cloud at 25 000 feet.
Before calling the London FIC for a weather briefing prior to departing Kingston, the pilot had already inferred that the forecast conditions for Sudbury were improving.
The pilot's first phone call to the London FIC for a weather briefing occurred 1.5 hours prior to the actual departure from Kingston. The briefer informed the pilot of the forecast weather that could be encountered ahead and behind the cold font. The briefer also indicated that the front was expected in the Sudbury area at about the same time as the aircraft's planned arrival.
The pilot obtained a weather briefing by phone and, in all likelihood, did not have the GFA to refer to, thereby precluding any visualization of the weather. Otherwise, the pilot would have seen that the forecast weather associated with the front would be encountered en route, well before reaching the frontal surface and destination. The pilot likely assumed the weather to be strictly associated with frontal passage, hence the decision to leave as soon as possible to arrive in Sudbury before the front. Moreover, based on the briefing, the pilot focused almost exclusively on the destination forecast weather, to the exclusion of the weather forecast reported elsewhere along the flight route.
Having created a weather image an hour earlier, the pilot's subsequent conversation with the London FIC suggested more favourable forecast conditions in Sudbury. This may have served to confirm the pilot's initial decision. Here again, the exchanges between the pilot and the briefer focused exclusively on the forecast at the destination and not en route.
There was no radio contact with the aircraft after it left the Kingston control zone. The aircraft altitude likely did not exceed 3000 feet asl throughout the duration of the flight. Flight at that altitude would have made radio contact with en route ground stations difficult, if not impossible. Even if radio contact was possible, there were few weather reporting stations from which the pilot could had made a reasonable reassessment of the conditions and reviewed the decision to continue toward the destination.
The initial part of the flight was along a direct line from Kingston to Sudbury, indicating the pilot was likely navigating via the onboard GPS. When the aircraft was subsequently picked up by the North Bay radar, it was significantly north of the desired track. The aircraft was also descending with frequent heading changes. This suggests the pilot was navigating around cloud and/or terrain, trying to find a clear route between the clouds and the hills. Although the aircraft was north of the initial Sudbury track, it was on a westerly heading when it struck trees, rather than a northerly heading towards the alternate airport in North Bay. This suggests the pilot was still attempting to proceed to the destination.
Originally shaped as a line from north to south, the weather system was moving from west to east. It covered an area from Southwest Ontario to north of Sudbury (see Appendix A.) The heaviest concentration of precipitation was at the front, where there were no weather reporting stations. A mixture of rain, snow and strong winds were also present. As it moved east, the front began to change shape and appeared to be more convex. This meant that, at the outer tips, the weather was not as severe and any available weather reports were not indicative of the actual weather likely encountered by the pilot (see Appendix B).
The front was changing in appearance while the aircraft was en route and there were no weather updates available to compel a re-evaluation of the pilot's decision. The aircraft was flying from good night VFR weather conditions into deteriorating weather conditions. Visibility would have been reduced as the cloud deck dropped and the precipitation increased. This, combined with the fact that Algonquin Park has very few light sources to provide ground reference, would have made it difficult for the pilot to maintain visual reference with the ground. The pilot was not IFR rated, so climbing into and, perhaps, above the cloud to divert to North Bay was not an option.
At the time of departure, the altimeter setting in Kingston was 30.04. This information was relayed to the pilot on departure. The pilot later reported leaving the Kingston area, level at 2500 feet asl, which was confirmed by radar. The aircraft subsequently climbed to 3000 feet asl, which was maintained until initial radar coverage was lost. These radar plots suggest the aircraft altimeter was in all likelihood set to 30.04.
As the aircraft was likely out of VHF range, the pilot would have been unable to obtain any updated weather en route, including the latest altimeter settings. It is unknown whether any attempts were made. At the time of departure from Kingston, the altimeter setting for Sudbury was 29.90.
The pilot had not obtained altimeter settings for stations along the flight route during the weather briefings. The planned route would take the aircraft over rising terrain and toward an area of lower pressure. The temperatures were also below ISA. Therefore, if left untouched, the altimeter would have read approximately 130 feet higher than the actual altitude of the aircraft. The last radar return showed the aircraft at 2100 feet asl, but the aircraft descended further. The aircraft stuck trees that were 80 to 100 feet higher than the terrain, which was at approximately 1750 feet. When the aircraft began to strike the tree tops, its true altitude would have been 1850 feet asl. The aircraft's altimeter would have read 1980 feet asl and any margin of obstacle clearance the pilot may have thought existed, did not.
The following TSB Laboratory report was completed:
LP 138/2009 – GPS Analysis
This report is available from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada upon request.
Findings as to Causes and Contributing Factors
- The pilot, with minimal night flying experience, took off at night without fully appreciating the marginal weather that was forecast en route.
- The pilot planned the flight over inhospitable terrain that afforded few visual cues for VFR navigation and continued flying into deteriorating weather conditions.
- The pilot likely encountered conditions where ground reference was lost and altitude was not maintained, resulting in the aircraft striking trees in an area of rising terrain.
Findings as to Risk
- The altitude at which the aircraft was flown precluded radio communication with ground stations along the flight route. This increases the risk that pilots may be unable to obtain critical flight information on a timely basis.
- The failure to apply current altimeter settings along the flight route, particularly from an area of high to low pressure, may result in reduced obstacle clearance.
Other Finding
- Although the pilot had the required training for a night rating, there was no documentation found that a night rating had been issued by Transport Canada.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board authorized the release of this report on 21 October 2010.

Get Dr. Dane's book free when you contact us to learn more about becoming an 8WW doctor!
8 Weeks to Wellness® was developed and founded by third generation Chiropractors, Dr. Dane Donohue and Dr. Denise Chranowski, specializing in health and wellness.
8 Weeks to Wellness® is a holistic wellness program that focuses on overall health. Our program encompasses all the fundamental wellness therapies, including Chiropractic, Exercise, and nutrition, and features a computerized Wellness Score.
The practice, which first began strictly as a Chiropractic office, has grown tremendously over the years due to patient demand and their success in approaching health from a wellness standpoint rather than sickness. This wellness approach led to the development of the 8 Weeks to Wellness® program for which the two doctors wanted to share with other like-minded professionals through a chiropractic coaching process.
Learn how to change lives in your community by changing the way people think about health. Dr. Dane and his team will show you the way to making a huge impact for your patients.
Utilize Dr. Dane and his chiropractic coaching system to transform your office without having to reinvent the wheel. Dr. Dane is ready to coach you and your team into teaching the wellness lifestyle.
Enhance the lives of your current patients and attract new members to your practice by showing them the 8WW way. Become the go-to doctor in your community for health and wellness.

"8WW has been a revolution for our office. It has set my chiropractic soul free. The beautiful thing with 8WW is that chiropractic is at the core of the program. I have no doubt in my mind that we are saving lives in our office. The objective criteria examination is evidence of this. It gives us the ability to base our client's health on function over feeling. We have had everything from a reversal of type two diabetes to lowering of cholesterol to weight loss of over 3 stone. 8 Weeks to Wellness works and it does 'what it says on the tin!'. I now have a mission to make 8WW the #1 recognized health program of the world! 8WW will save our profession in chiropractic and steer us in the direction our paradigm was born. A true HEALTH paradigm. We need to become the Wellness doctors of the future and lead our clients toward healing through changing their health and not fixing their symptoms. Become part of something that is changing the face of healthcare and join our 8WW tribe." Dr. Joe-James Tilley, United Kingdom

First, a word from our "sponsor":
Yes, one more time, WATCH THE NERDIST TV SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT AT 10/9c ON BBC AMERICA. It's Nerdist, but on TV with an audience and movin' pictures and Craig Ferguson and Matt Smith and Mike Phirman and stuff. Tell your friends, too.
You can understand our enthusiasm, I trust. Taking a podcast and turning it into a real TV show is pretty amazeballs, as our leader and the host and star of our show Chris Hardwick would say. So we're excited. Plus, the more people who watch, the more likely it gets that there'll be more. So, please watch.
(And as for the inevitable questions, no, I do not know whether the show will air in other countries or be available online or in some other fashion. I'm not hiding anything; I honestly don't know. All I know is that it's airing on BBC America.)
Oh, and while I'm plugging Nerdist stuff, Chris was on WTF with Marc Maron this week; go here to listen to Chris talk about his life career and bowling.
And Jonah Ray will be appearing with the Walking the Room podcast stars, Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony, on Monday (9/26) at the Starfish Circus at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles, along with Never Not Funny podcast star Jimmy Pardo, frequent podcast guest Kyle Kinane, and Greg's band the Reigning Monarchs. It's at 9 pm Monday, and I can't go, but if you can, tickets are here. There's also Jonah and Matt's usual NerdMelt shows, information about which you can find here.
And I have nothing of my own to plug, so you're safe. But I do have a rundown of the stuff that we encountered at this here website thing this week, so…:
1. After hours last Friday, Chris posted the podcast with Tom Green. Much Canadian discussion ensued. Tom's at the Wilbur Theater on September 30th to tape his TV special, in case you'll be in town.
2. Kyle reviewed "The God Complex," involving a very strange hotel and confrontations with everyone's deepest fears.
3. New Childish Gambino! Becca had it for us right away.
4. Kyle brought us back to the '70s for a clip of a particularly lame Spider-Man — as a Mets fan! — from The Electric Company. "HEY, YOU GUYS! We're gonna turn it on, we're gonna bring you the power…."
5. Jake had another selection of the 5 most intentionally funny videos of the week, plus one unintentionally funny one.
6. Craig Ferguson met Elmo. Epic.
7. From Back to the Future's Biff to painter, comedian, and, coming soon, podcaster, Tom Wilson has had a really eclectic ride in the business, and he came on the Nerdist Podcast to talk about it. Also, we got to see the FAQ-like thing he hands to fans, and it's kinda perfect.
8. Matthew G. noted that the trailer for EA Sports' FIFA Soccer 12 used the Battles' "Ice Cream" for the soundtrack, an interesting choice to promote a sports video game.
9. Chris got another job, this time as host of AMC's upcoming Talking Dead, the Walking Dead live after-show coming in October. Why, yes, he IS perfect for that job.
10. Ooh: Nerdist TV show sneak peek! You got to see some hostful byplay, just like on the podcast.
11. In the wake of the Emmys and the Mark Twain Prize, Jake asked why we need to pick the funniest when it's all subjective anyway. Good question. But, then again, I haven't won an award, unless being radio "Program Director of the Week" in Billboard magazine in 1993 is an award (hint: It isn't. It's just an interview. And the writer didn't like me).
12. Kyle gave us four lesser celebrated Monty Python sketches. Still funny.
13. Everybody loves outtakes. These were from, yes, the Nerdist TV show. Can we do the Wayne's World thing?
14. Matthew G.'s Music Geek Track of the Week honored a band that called it quits this week.
15. Podcasts: Indoor Kids Kumail and Emily had Ron Funches over for some family gaming talk. Because we gotta be complete, and because it was funny, we gave you the Todd Glass aftershow with Rory Scovel. Comic and musician Bo Burnham was Riki's guest on Making It. Mistress Mary Typhus visited Sex Nerd Sandra, and you listened because you DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD. For the Nerdist Writer's Panel, Ben hosted Amy Berg, Ben Edlund, and Angelina Burnett, and that means Eureka, The Tick, and Memphis Beat. And Todd welcomed Kevin Farley to the studio overlooking the car dealership.
16. And we had a lot of links to posts by our friends at BBC America's Anglophenia blog for Nerdist Week over there, including: Fraser McAlpine's "Fraser's Phrases" defined some nerd words like swots and boffins and spods and anoraks; Chris picked his favorite British comedies; We heard some Trock, a/k/a Time Lord Rock; We saw a Doctor Who-Girl With the Dragon Tattoo mashup, and one with the Muppets, too; We got a list of celebrity Whovians; British nerd pop stars got to take a bow; Chris picked his top 5 Whovian moments and curated the Doctor Who Tumblr; we witnessed a battle between British vs. American nerds; and, of course, we counted down the Five Nerdist Podcasts that Shook the World.
17. LAST MINUTE ADDITION: Chris posted a "Hostful Plus" podcast featuring our own "Make Cool Stuff" columnist Mindy Holahan, in from Philadelphia to drop by the show.
(exhales) Okay, we're done here. Have a great weekend, and… oh, no, I feel it coming on again… WATCH THE NERDIST TV SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT AT 10/9c ON BBC AMERICA. Thank you, enjoy your burrito, good night, everybody!

Truck Driver Blind Spots
Sharing the road with large commercial trucks can be dangerous, as collisions with 18-wheelers and semi trucks typically result in serious damage to smaller vehicles and significant injuries to their drivers and passengers. While commercial trucks are essential for the shipping of goods and materials within the continental United States, these vehicles have significant safety shortcomings. Most notably, truck drivers must content with large blind spots, often called no-zones.
When a truck driver fails to recognize the presence of your vehicle in his or her blind spots, you may be involved in a major accident and suffer serious injury to your person. To learn how an experienced Stevens Point auto accident lawyer can help you recover the compensation you are entitled to for your medical expenses and other damages, contact Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. today at 800-242-2874.
No-Zones for Trucks
Trucks are designed to efficiently haul enormous cargo containers full of goods and materials, but the size of this load also significantly obstructs sight lines and the drivers' ability to observe traffic around them. Even with extended mirrors and special training, the following areas are effectively invisible "no-zones" for truckers:
- Directly in front of the truck
- Immediately behind the payload of the truck
- Alongside the cab of the truck
Regular drivers should avoid spending long amounts of time in these areas, but it is ultimately the truck drivers' responsibility to be aware of the traffic around them when maneuvering.
Contact Us
If a truck driver's negligence has caused you to suffer an injury in an auto accident, you are likely eligible for compensation for your medical expenses and other damages. To schedule a free consultation and discuss the details of your case, contact a dedicated Stevens Point auto accident attorney at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. today at 800-242-2874.
