Do some pilots over there still only use the actual checklists on ppc rides or am I misinformed?

How about prisons on the reserves? The prospect of being constantly harrassed by infinite amounts of black flies in the summer and the bitter cold and nothingness of winter for years and years would certainly make me think twice about pointing a gun at that minimum-wage cashier. Plus, it would give ...

I searched but couldn't find anything.... Got into a friendly argument with a friend about logging time on ferries/positioning flights on a multi-engine airplane in a 703 op... I say you have to have a ppc but he says that it's okay since when you're positioning/ferrying, you're considered "private"...

Juste un petit mot comme ca pour ceux qui se commencent... Sortez de chez vous, allez ailleurs au Canada, des jobs y'en a, ca paye pas mal mieux qu'au Qc pis une fois que vous aurez votre expérience, revenez à la maison si ca vous chante. C'est seulement à ce moment-là que vous aurez un meilleur sal...

This kind of rumor has been going on for quite a while I believe.... What kind of 37s? Where do they come from? Are they going to be online anytime before the end of the decade? What will they replace? Is Inuit going to FINALLY offer flights to the caribbean? :) I'll believe it when I see it on the ...

I thought that the medevac captains at VAL on the ka200 where making 50g because of an MOH requirement and that otherwise they would be making 35g or so.

Am I wrong?

Not trying to badly influence someone into lying but the topographic test is not very good because I know for a fact that at least one person who was lasiked slipped through the cracks. Probably a helo jock now although he wanted to be in a hornet. As for PRK vs Lasik, afaik PRK is not nearly as goo...

Mass is a quantity of matter. Some people quantify it in kilograms, others in pounds. Weight is a force. Some people quantify it in newtons, others in pounds. Problem is, pounds can be viewed as a quantity of matter or a force and this is because back in the day people confused the concepts of mass ...

If you love a carrot enough, will it love you back?

Anybody else misses Cloudcounter?

I have not heard anyone speak of a reduction in taxes CID. The current issues are record profits being reported by the gas companies. The cost per barrel price, coupled with those profits does not substantiate the prices at the pumps. Simple math really. Price per barrel is one factor. The other is...

I was reading the CGAA training bond thread and thought I shouldn't just hijack it so here goes. Companies will do anything for money. Companies will at least go to the full extent that law lets them and sometimes beyond if they can gain more and if they perceive it will be viewed as acceptable. Cur...

Somebody once told me about a conversion for the Van where you have two smaller turbines in front that drive a single prop (Allisons maybe?).... Anybody heard of that?

Bonds are a no-no. Especially now! Promisory note, I can go along with, but the contract has to be cristal-clear and I get professional, legal help to have it written so that I'm happy. Transferable PPC, is there another country on the planet that has that? Seriously, I really wonder. I think many s...

The US doesn't have the monopoly on idiots: Get the hooligans going in England by insulting their team and watch your blood getting spilled everywhere... Go to an ultra-orthodox neighbourhood in Israel with a flag that says "Allah is the only god and Mahomet is his prophet"... Inversely, go to a fan...

See, this poll should be rephrased: Should one be honest or not? It shouldn't even be a question. By signing, whatever the terms were, you agreed to them. Now, unless your employer didn't live up to the terms, why in the world wouldn't you live up to your end of the contract? The only way I see I wo...

I guess the published mins on their website are for FOs, so do you know what they're looking for, captain-wise?

Oh, and thanks for all the input, it IS appreciated!

Anybody knows the reason for all the recent movement over there? Any info on salary, schedule etc. would be great too! (Try "Commercial Aviation" on the search engine, you'll see just how many results you get)

Thanks

Actually they didn't recover. They spun right into lake St-Francois near Montreal. The instructor died and the student got out of the airplane and survived. It was C-GZLZ from Laurentide Aviation, the fist airplane I did spins in. It happened a couple years later. Gave me a bit of a chill when I lea...

Anybody knows when the two stage amber method was dropped? On whose order/(mis)guidance? That may bring insight on why it's not in use anymore... It sounds terribly simple and effective. Maybe THAT's why. I have also heard of self-fogging goggles that would automatically fog out when trying to look ...

I agree and I would even put it at 3000hrs. You should aspire to, one day, become an instructor and share your experience and not be an instructor to get time and experience. I was an instructor myself right out of school and as I was trying to teach some cadet how not to kill himself, I thought to ...

Lazik surgery will invalidate your medical for a period of at least 6 months, to give time to your eyes heal and adjust (it really takes only a few weeks but you know TC...). During the first few weeks, you WILL freak out because at night you will most probably see halos around lights and you will b...

It has to be a mile AGL, otherwise you'd just have to go to Denver and do it on the ground

Mine was in a 172 a few years back, on my 1000th hour
