It is simple just put the bloody gear down! Distraction or not if your landing you need to put the gear down. I think anyone that thinks that this accidents just happens and that it can possibly be said hey this is okay we only forgot the gear. Is out to lunch....You can't forget the gear it ain't a...

I am going to bet on Transport Canada doing a Gear up maybe at the start of there flying season.

Maybe they didn't show that episode cause it made TC look bad.

The book says nothing. It is a single pilot airplane in the states and if you operate it 2 crew it is not going to spell out how your SOP should be written. All it will tell you is the profile.

The manufacture is not gonna give a hoot who is doing the power.

All excellent tips again BeaverBob. Thanks! As for the 1 Mags and Carb Heat Hot...you are lowering your RPM so that you can approach the dock slower if that helps. And for you guys pumping the Throttle during start maybe you guys should carry a fire guard on the float. ;) I am going to leave the dow...

I guess what I am trying to say about this advice about turns from down wind is how does this apply as a Beaver tip? If we all agree that an airplane Stalls the same...well minus the few people who seem to think differently in th earlier posts from what I recollect. This tip about "illusions" is no ...

Yeah the Beaver is lots of fun. I haven't flown it as much as I would like....but that is all good. Gotta working on my step taxing and docking. Partly due to the fact that it has been a few years since I flew floats on a regular basis and due to the unfamiliarity. What I really need to do is just t...

Hey you did do that Beech 18 trip good for ya!

Just as a side note ya never did tell me how ya made out on that trip.

That and I did tell ya that stuff, and yes I would have been available to fly a Beech 18.

Nope I don't think we did Cat.

Can we get back to Beaver flying tips again. If there are any still out there. The 985 stuff was also good refresher. My only time with them are on 18s.

I don`t think anyone said there is no effect on performance. I think what people are saying is the wing performs the same regardless at what speed it is travelling over the ground. I think of performance as relative to the ground, T/O, Landing, Cruise, Climb, etc...what a pilot has to do to either i...

I have been on the road for a few days with no access to a computer. I was wondering what kinda of responses I would get from this board. It sounds like a number of you are Beaver pros, so thanks you for all the tips and keep them coming if ya think of anymore. They are Greatly appreaciated. I like ...

Just started flying one as a part time gig. From my regular flying job. But have never flown one before.

Looking for some tips.

Anything would be good. Esspeacially with regards to T/O technique and flap settings, and flying her with a load.

So they where there for year, and everyone new they where there.

Maybe the guy flying it should have missed the pole. I mean that is all part of the game isn't it.

Well glad no one was hurt.

Damn Auto Pilot failure hope they had pilots onboard.

What I don't get is why don't we just follow the approach limits on the chart. They seem to not really mean anything, except to use them for the approach ban figures. :roll: Why even have recommended visibilties if they don't mean anything. Well I guess I'll be doing more contact approaches. :rolley...

Unfortunately I am use to it.

It would however have been nice to get this landing limit thing more in line with the rest of the world of aviation. Another wasted oppritunity by Transport.

ETTW - you say "that no one has been killed."

I don't know that it really has made a difference in safety. I am sure there has been approach to landing accidents since it has been implemented...that and how is it safer when you are conducting approaches in the far North, where it doesn't apply?

I would just be happy if they just reversed it back to the old way of doing things.

Well I don't believe this has been done yet. We have been dealing with it for sometime now what does every one think about it?

So can I shoot the approach yet?

I am bingo fuel!

Airline Finances May Hurt Safety, Sullenberger Says (Update1) Email | Print | A A A By Angela Greiling Keane Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The pilot who safely landed on New York’s Hudson River said cost-cutting in the U.S. airline industry may jeopardize the quality of aviators. “I am worried that the air...

Do I have to do everything myself. I gotta an idea. Call the Provincial and or Federal Labour people and ask them. Maybe even take some time and go down there and speak with them face to face. Doing this stuff on the internet for pete sake is ridiculous. Back in the day before internet people actual...

I thought it was an interesting article cause of its view point from the employer perspective and the law. In short don't "Suck and Blow". If the whole reason for a company giving out training bonds are to protect themselves from "the Andys" in the industry. This article shows pilots what they are u...

Sometimes workers owe employers Ed Canning The Hamilton Spectator (Dec 29, 2008) We usually think about the employment relationship as one in which the employer owes money to the employee: the employee renders the service, the employer then pays for it. There are a number of situations, however, in ...

Yeah the instructor does go along way, to contributing to the expeirence, eh.
