communications MONTREAL tCPt federal commission studying the emotional issue of bilingual air communications arrives in Montreal today to open public hearings The issue is whether controllers and pilots flying on instru ment control in Quebec airspace can communicate in French Its an explosive issue and was partially credited for the Parti Quebecois victory in 1976 Quebec elections when Englishdominated aviation unions refused to accept more French in the air For the moment French communication during instru ment flying is illegal in Canada but the law has been igr nored with abandon The Commons was told that between November l976 and July 1978 there were 10228 alleged violations of the air navigation order prohibiting use of French over Canadian airspace The hearingsexpected to last three weeks mark the filial leg of the federal commissions mandate and final report will be presented to the Commons for free vote The hearings will bear mainly on the results of simulated air traffic control tests which concluded last month that bilr ingual communications would be not only as safe as uni ingual English but could be even safer The Canadian Air Traffic Control Association has already served notice it will question the findings And the major defender of the right for French com munieations the Association des lens de lAir du Quebec has announced it will boycott the
