Incident
at QUÉBEC / JEAN LESAGE INTL QC (CYQB)
UPDATE TSB#A16Q0014: A Pascan Aviation BAE Jetstream 32-12 (C-GPPS/PSC482), with two crew members and one passenger on board, was conducting an IFR flight from Québec/Jean Lesage Intl (CYQB), QC, to Montréal/St-Hubert (CYHU), QC. On takeoff from Runway 06, the crew received a TCAS resolution advisory (RA) due to a loss of separation with a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Cessna 208B (C-FRPH/ SST377), which was conducting VFR orbits level at 2 000 ft near the threshold of Runway 24. The CYQB control tower had instructed SST377 to remain south of Runway 06/24. PSC482 had to momentarily abort its climb. Four minutes later, a Hydro-Québec DHC8-400 (C-GHQL/ HYD106) took off from Runway 06. While passing through 1 700 ft, HYD106 also received a TCAS RA due to the presence of SST377. HYD106 then started a descent to 1 200 ft.
Update AOR #197174-V2: A Hydro-Quebec de Havilland DHC-8-402 (C-GHQL/HYD106), from Québec/Jean Lesage, QC (CYQB) to Bagotville, QC (CYBG), received a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Resolution Advisory (RA) on departure from Runway 06. The alert came from a RCMP Air Services Branch Cessna 208 (SST377), from Montréal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU) to Québec/Jean Lesage, QC (CYQB), which was conducting circuits above the Service aérien gouvernemental aircraft at 2 000 ft. SST337 had received the instruction to remain south of Runway 06/24 and the aircraft had exchanged position information. Separation, however, was not ensured between SST377, which was conducting circuits at 2 000 ft above the airport, and a Pascan Aviation British Aerospace Jetstream Model 3212 (C-GPPS/PSC482), from Québec/Jean Lesage, QC (CYQB) to Montréal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU), which was taking off from Runway 06 for an IFR flight. No impact on operations.
