Penner Wins Canadian Flight Instruction Award

Steinbach Flight School Owner Takes Canada's Only Award For Instructors

Harv Penner, the owner of Harv's Air in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, has won that country's David Charles Abramson Memorial Flight Instructor Safety Award.  The honor was bestowed at the Air Transportation Association of Canada's annual convention in Quebec City last week.

Steinbach Online reports that the award is the only one given by the Canadian government honoring flight instructors.  Each year one flight instructor is chosen who has shown a passion for flying and a commitment towards his or her students. This is the 7th year for the award.

Penner opened his flight school in 1973. He said it is quite an honor to be given the award, which commemorates a 24-year-old flight instructor who was killed on what was described as a routine training flight when the Cessna 150 he and his student were flying developed a mechanical problem. His student survived the accident, and a modification to the rudder stop mechanism in all Cessna 150's and 152's was developed because of the accident.
