[General_Session] FW: Sad news - Yves Saint-Upéry

[Paul Prisaznuk]

Dear friends in industry,

It is with great sadness that I share the news of Yves Saint-Upéry’s passing. Yves was a pillar in the AEEC community representing the Airbus position on a wide range of technical topics. Yves was active in the SAI Subcommittee for 15 years. He was responsible for initiating new ARINC Standards in the areas of Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance. His professional legacy will endure through the many technical inputs presented to industry and now preserved in the ARINC archive. Yves was the recipient of the coveted AAI Volare Award presented at the AEEC General Session in Atlanta 2016. He is recognized in pages 75-78 of the attached report. Yves retired from Airbus in mid-2021.

See note from Thierry Harquin below. Messages of condolence to Yves’ wife, his daughter, and the Airbus family may be forwarded to Thierry (thierry.harquin at airbus.com<mailto:thierry.harquin at airbus.com>)

Dear aviation friends and colleagues,

It is with the deepest sadness that I have to inform you that our friend and colleague Yves Saint-Upéry passed away 2 days ago on Jan 4th, 2022.

It is a shock for all of us, as he was in good health when he left the company for retirement  some months ago.
From the latest information I got this morning, he died from a relapse of the pancreas cancer that he had overcome 15 years ago.

I have no words to express how I feel today. Yves was such a good guy, not only an excellent engineer but a wise person with strong human skills.
Along several years I have worked with him, in the frame of all these trips in US and Europe that we have done together for the AEEC activities , he became definitely more than an Airbus colleague for me.
For those who do not know him, Yves has been the  Airbus representative at the SAI committee for many years, and was deeply involved in AEEC ExCom activities with Patrick Schuster and then myself until 2016.

He received the AEEC Volare award in 2016.

I will let you know of any initiative to open a "Livre d'or" to gather testimonies from the people who appreciated him.

@Paul: I used 2 recent distribution lists for General Session and SAI, but I let you forward this message to people who knew Yves and may have retired now.

See enclosed a picture of Yves taken just before he left the company.
