In the aerodrome advisory service (AAS), the aircraft was informed of a VFR aircraft, a privately registered Cessna 337H on a flight to Sept-Îles (CYZV), QC, inbound from the south. The Cessna 337H received information reporting that AIE522 was taxiing for departure from Runway 27. The Cessna 337H called back at 3.4 NM south while it was on base. AIE522 received an update and decided to get into position. Shortly after, the Cessna 337H called back on final and was warned that AIE522 was getting into position on Runway 27.
