The COPA Annual has a new name! It is now called
the COPA Aviation Directory and is still available online to all COPA members.
This one-stop source of information about flying in Canada was available in a
paper magazine format for years under the name Canadian Flight Annual. The
disadvantage of the paper format was that most of the information was “time
sensitive” and could be as much as three months out of date when the magazine
was printed and more than 15 months out of date by the time the next magazine
was printed.
Our Web site, and use of it, has been steadily growing. A few years ago, we
transitioned time sensitive information to the Web site. Our 2002 survey
indicated that 92 per cent or members have access to the Internet, so we decided
to take advantage of this fact to transition from the magazine format to the
online COPA Flight Annual.
This year we have changed the name of the publication to the COPA Aviation
Directory as we feel that the new title best describes what it is! It’s updated
“daily” instead of “annually.”
