ATAC

Does anyone know what ATAC does for Aviation?

I need some examples for some research I am doing related to the flight training industry.

Sounds quite similar to what CAAP is supposed to be about. But I haven't really heard of ATAC actually doing anything. The only good I've seen is their directory of flight schools for perspective students to peruse.

To boot, I think all that stuff about flight schools on the ATAC web page is copy and pasted from Transpost Canada's web page.

Actually they do send flightschools a form to fill out. I have personally filled one out in the past.

Does ATAC not represent Companies rather than CAAP representing Pilots?
