No issues in Asia, Europe, Russia etc.... Not sure how cheap it is though. Generally thought of as one of the big players in the field.

Switching from CCX to UWX would not have resolved this particular issue.

Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. has agreed to sell Flexjet, a service that allows business executives to buy a share in or lease a private jet, to a group led by U.S. private equity firm Directional Aviation Capital for $185 million US. Directional Aviation's order to Bombardier is the largest in Fl...

With Cpt_Frog's spelling, writing a letter might not be in their best interest.

Not all airports in Canada use the CY prefix. Many use 'CZ' (CZBF, CZBM, CZMT, CZNL, etc) while others use an alpha-numerical combination (CAA8, CBS8, CFG6, etc)

Any truth to this? From http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/westjet-rewards/1372603-westjet-launch-premium-economy-6.html 600 and 700 are online flying with the new configuration. For some reason the 800 is not yet. And regarding pricing, from http://business.financialpost.com/2012/11/30/air-canada-plans...

Sad to hear about Bob's passing. Worked with him on dozens - if not hundreds - of occasions and have nothing but positive things to say about his professionalism and due diligence towards flying as well as his pleasant personality.

A big loss to the S. Ont flying community.

And so it begins?

If YKF, would it be a new-build hangar on Apron 4?

I use it primarily for the PACOTS, but it serves other US ADs as well.

Some crazy stuff goes on in Southern Ontario, to list off one place lol I changed flight schools from an uncontrolled AD in S.

Don't deal with Hammonds. They will screw you at any and every opportunity. Just ask anyone who has worked at their FBO.

Better than the CL300 in many respects.

Didn't think it would be permitted.

What then would be a feasible routing for the owner/operator of a limited range acft to go YVR-HNL? YVR-ANC-ADK-MDY-HNL?

I suspect that MDY would be difficult based on the AIP comments regarding PPR and limited night ops due to birds.

Wondering about the legalities of installing a temporary aux. fuel tank to extend the range of a business jet. My understanding is that aux. fuel tanks are permitted for ferry flights only with a max of 2 people on board: 1 pilot & 1 navigator. Is that correct? However, say that one wanted to take t...

The Phenom 300...They have orders for 100 and options for 50 more. Are you familiar enough to elaborate whether the later production and EIS of the P300 has benefited with better quality-control from many of P100's early problems (Brake failures, flap failures, improvised remedies (pulling the CB),...

Here's a couple of pictures and short reference to N308MJ on a pilot's blog outlining the delivery of N600PB (about half way down).

Already familiar with many of the Phenom-related websites. However, there is very little information available surrounding Canadian operators.

Any type-rated Canadian pilots there or owner/acft management companies in Canada currently familiar with the acft?
