      <title>Certification Process Changes / Modifications du processus de certification</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;On behalf of the Executive, Happy New Year!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are a number of changes we are implementing that will hopefully make life for the organization, beginning with the HP Certification process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The High Power Certification Process for Levels 1 - 3 is being simplified to&amp;nbsp; improve reduce paperwork, improve certification opportunities and just make life easier for everyone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Going forward there will no longer be a $5 fee to process certifications. All that will be required is a copy of the completed certification form emailed to &lt;a href="mailto:memberships@canadianrocketry.org" target="_blank"&gt;Memberships@canadianrocketry.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a consequence, we will no longer be sending out Level Certificates automatically. If you desire a certificate they will still be available for purchase on the online store.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, and maybe more importantly, &lt;strong&gt;certification flights can now be performed at non-CAR/ACF launches&lt;/strong&gt;. We recognize that in may cases it is more convenient to attend NAR, TRA or Launch Canada events and as long as the events are insured, you will be allowed to complete Cert. flights at these events.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Full details, and revised forms can be found on the &lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/en/certifications" target="_blank"&gt;Certification page&lt;/a&gt; of this site.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Au nom de l'exécutif, bonne année !&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nous mettons en œuvre un certain nombre de changements qui, espérons-le, donneront vie à l'organisation, à commencer par le processus de certification HP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Le processus de certification haute puissance pour les niveaux 1 à 3 est simplifié afin de réduire la paperasse, d'améliorer les opportunités de certification et de faciliter la vie de chacun.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;À l’avenir, il n’y aura plus de frais de 5&amp;nbsp;$ pour le traitement des certifications. Tout ce qui sera requis est une copie du formulaire de certification dûment rempli et envoyé par courrier électronique à &lt;a href="mailto:memberships@canadianrocketry.org" target="_blank"&gt;Memberships@canadianrocketry.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;En conséquence, nous n’enverrons plus automatiquement les Certificats de Niveau. Si vous désirez un certificat, ils seront toujours disponibles à l'achat sur la boutique en ligne.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;De plus, et peut-être plus important encore, les vols de certification peuvent désormais être effectués lors de lancements non CAR/ACF. Nous reconnaissons que dans de nombreux cas, il est plus pratique d'assister aux événements NAR, TRA ou Launch Canada et tant que les événements sont assurés, vous serez autorisé à compléter le certificat. vols lors de ces événements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tous les détails et les formulaires révisés peuvent être trouvés sur la &lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/en/certifications" target="_blank"&gt;page Certification&lt;/a&gt; de ce site.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Flying RPAS / Drones / UAV at Launches - Voler RPAS / Drones / UAV aux lancements</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;In recognition of the increasing popularity of drones, officially known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), this policy document has been created to aid Range Safety Officers, Launch Organizers, fliers and drone pilots in understanding where drones can be safely and legally flown with respect to CAR/ACF HPR rocket launches and active ranges.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;There is a risk to operations, property and people when operating drones around people in general and when operating drones in conjunction with an active rocket range, the risk goes up significantly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;In short, drones are allowed to be operated at a CAR/ACF launch event at the discretion of the Launch RSO. If the RSO deems the risk to people and operations of drone flights anywhere in the launch and recovery areas, the RSO can deny a request to operate any drone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;In order to operate a drone at a CAR/ACF rocket launch event, the operator must have an Advanced Drone Pilot License.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/High-Power-Rocketry" target="_blank"&gt;https://canadianrocketry.org/High-Power-Rocketry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" class="WaContentDivider WaContentDivider dividerStyle003" data-wacomponenttype="ContentDivider"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Au vu de la popularité grandissante des drones, connus officiellement par l’expression “Système d’Aéronef Télépiloté” (RPAS), cette politique a été créée pour aider Ies organisateurs de lancement (LO), les officiers de sécurité de site (RSO), les fuséonautes, et les pilotes de drones à comprendre dans quel contexte un drone peut être utilisé pendant un lancement de fusées haute-puissance CAR/ACF, sur un site de lancement actif.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;En général, faire voler un drone au-dessus et autour du public présente un risque opérationnel, matériel, et humain, et quand cette utilisation d’un drone se fait sur un site de lancement actif, le risque augmente de façon significative.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;En résumé, à la discrétion de l’officier de sécurité du site (RSO), un drone peut être autorisé à voler sur un site de lancement CAR/ACF. Si le RSO considère l’opération du drone comme étant un risque opérationnel ou humain, dans la zone de lancement ou de récupération, le RSO peut refuser une demande d’opérer n’importe quel type de drone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Pour opérer un drone durant un lancement de fusées haute-puissance CAR/ACF, l’opérateur doit avoir le certificat suivant, en cours de validité: Certificat de Pilote – petit aéronef télépiloté (VLOS) – opérations avancées&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/High-Power-Rocketry" target="_blank"&gt;https://canadianrocketry.org/High-Power-Rocketry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CAR/ACF is looking for someone with CSS and Java script experience and willing to volunteer some time with MUCH gratitude from the executive.&amp;nbsp; Why? we are setting up a bilingual site, much if not all the code to do this is available through our hosting service but not the work to implement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We also need translation support for the web pages if you can provide some time, it would be very much appreciated!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Fonctionnalité des événements&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Notre sujet pour le mois d’Avril est la fonctionnalité “Events/Evénements” du nouveau site Internet.&amp;nbsp; La possibilité de créer des événements est prévue pour les organisateurs de lancements de chaque club, et c’est un rôle spécial qui est assigné aux membres éligibles par CAR/ACF.&amp;nbsp; Certains clubs possèdent leurs propres méthodes d’inscription et de paiements.&amp;nbsp; La fonctionnalité du site Internet de CAR/ACF n’est pas là pour remplacer les méthodes de chaque club, mais peut être un ajout utile si vous choisissez de l’utiliser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pourquoi utiliser la fonctionnalité “Events/Evénements” du site de CAR/ACF?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Votre événement sera présent sur la page principale du site de CAR/ACF&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Votre événement peut inclure un descriptif et des hyper-liens vers les pages de votre club&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Une fonction d’inscription (RSVP) qui permet de juger de l’intérêt pour l’événement&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Le gestionnaire de l’événement peut gérer les membres inscrits&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Le site peut envoyer des courriels automatiques aux membres inscrits (pour les informer des changements et annulations)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Les inscriptions aux événements apparaissent sur la page de Profil des membres&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Voici la page de support pour la fonction Evénements:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkAndRecipientCode=bGoO9%2fu%2bdOIGebDwhmghASWL6JecEyLjjW3QmDOO%2f7CsZ2UgspvhX4L6D3xtK6wuPeJfopk1BRvlRQVciyPwoQxlcFreQISnV8R89lwa6AM%3d"&gt;https://support.wildapricot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055873993-Setting-up-a-simple-event-RSVP-only-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Si vous êtes intéressé à créer des événements, veuillez contacter &lt;a href="mailto:HQ@canadianrocketry.org"&gt;HQ@canadianrocketry.org&lt;/a&gt; pour que la fonction soit activée pour votre compte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dans le prochain bulletin, nous verrons comment utiliser la fonction Album pour ajouter des photos sur la page principale du site Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CAR/ACF recherche un volontaire avec de l’expérience CSS et JavaScript pour participer aux activités techniques sur le site Internet.&amp;nbsp; Pourquoi? Nous allons ajouter le bilinguisme, beaucoup du code nécessaire est disponible via notre hébergeur, mais il y a du travail à faire pour l’implémentation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nous avons également besoin du support pour la traduction des pages web en Français. Si vous avez des disponibilités, ce serait très apprécié!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>An App to help stay Connected</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Now that we have moved to the new membership site there are a few new things members can try out.&amp;nbsp; Over the next months, we will be sharing what they are and how to use them these quick newsletters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, what is up with this Wild Apricot thing?&amp;nbsp; Wild Apricot is our new service provider for web services, membership database, events calendar, and other features.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;One feature, WA has developed an app that links to your information and fellow rocketeers.&amp;nbsp; Changed your email, now you can update that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For iOS and for Android.&amp;nbsp; Have a look at the Wild Apricot Blog:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://car-acf.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkAndRecipientCode=lK0CdBYQDOpD%2bFpxsUvRDxZpuKmKK%2b60WmRwVxfMNaVjbEBwM5byWoLPxCMK2UON1HlbEFhcazys4mZ9ICXSHDoBJJFmE2dJgERkFR%2b2NBM%3d"&gt;https://www.wildapricot.com/blog/member-app&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the app and on your profile page in any browser, your CAR/ACF card can be accessed, printed, or just used via the app to show your membership status, certification level, and RI level.&amp;nbsp; This is a replacement for the plastic cards that have been sent out over the last few years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next Month&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next newsletter will be using the Events Page to highlight your event, track who is interested in attending and communicating with those members.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;David Buhler&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Behalf of the CAR/ACF Exec.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Transitions</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi All&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes I have to change the administrator name but the great news, a new membership processing site is here!!&amp;nbsp; Coupled with a new look and feel for the webpages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The old CARWeb will transform to this site soon.&amp;nbsp; Sadly though,&amp;nbsp; Shane's work with built-in automation for document management and auto update of content with bulk data and integrated forum access will be missed.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rational for this change was to automate the membership processing side of the house, which for the most part has not changed since the year 2000.&amp;nbsp; Some automation has happened, yes but I still get paper, process it and send out paper.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope you like the changes and please provide feedback to the Exec on these changes .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;David CAR/ACF Secretary Treasurer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
