Re: Transwest Air DHC3 Otter crash near Ivanhoe Lk NT 22 8 2

The piston version used to rattle the tail a lot more than the turbine does and the max speed was also higher on piston than turbine (my understanding of it is they just didn't bother test flying the turbine at the higher speed so only certified 'as is') so I don't buy the over speed explanation. I ...

Re: Decisions....decisions

I only have a private licence and recently passed over 500 hours PIC. Most of that is all day time VFR on single engine including multiple 300+ nautical mile x-country flights. Never ever dreamed I would reach this milestone. I've had encouragement from some quarter to go get my Commercial, but can...

Re: Waterloo PC12, FO

flight schools continue to pump out new CPLs That right there is the problem! To many people for to few jobs. Schools don't care about anything but the bottomline, like any business. If the College of Pilots has one goal it should be to stop this practice....open school doors only when there is job...

Re: Decisions....decisions

Let me answer your question with a question. Is Multi PIC time ever a liability? Here's an open secret of aviation - managing two piston engines is a LOT harder than managing one or two turbine engines. The only real consideration on a turbine is the extra speed and altitude involved, and once you ...

Re: Northern Ontario Rookie Friendly Operators

For sure. Do low level map reading solo in a 152 for a third of the price or three times the amount of hours. Just keep a GPS handy in case you really get lost. Never had one when I started...leave it behind...guarantee you'll focus more on map reading, or learn how to 'get found' yourself. I would...

Re: Regs regarding takeoff & landing a floatplane

Try 602.20 Nope, that's maneuvering ON the water. Nearest is 602.19 (7) Where an aircraft is in flight or manoeuvring on the surface, the pilot-in-command of the aircraft shall give way to an aircraft that is landing or about to land. . Problem with this though is the use of the word 'aircraft'. It...

It doesn't matter how many seats installed, its what the "certified" seating capacity is that matters.

Re: RCAF History Forum

Anyone have any info on what looks very much like an Anson located in northern Sask - 56.313707, -103.05048 Was thinking it may have been out of Prince Albert but that's only a guess based on proximity. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_IWDUW83PGQ/Udt6rjyw5PI/AAAAAAAABDo/YFFBczwCnBY/s640/100_1257....
