Hi, I'm looking to get an official ICAO English assessment in Canada. Does anyone know who administers it? Somewhere that's officially recognized. I'm a native English speaker, but (I believe) I still need an official assessment proving that, for overseas airlines. Thanks. You can contact the Autho...

Thanks kevenv.

I know we have ATC people on these Forums.

Perhaps one of them would like to clarify (even though the correct procedure has been listed multiple times).

I think you spoke too soon friend. Romanians DID share my point of view and Nicusor Dan got elected. Anyway... back to this topic. The wheels are in motion for me to change my Canadian license to EASA. Let's see if I'm capable of passing those exams. I think I'd be content flying this for the rest ...

Looking to get a few more opinions on this to "resolve" a disagreement. Instruction: "Descend FL230, Maintain M 0.70, transition 250 knots" Do you: a) maintain 0.70 until the barber poll moves up high enough that you can fly 250kts then maintain 250kts from there onward or, You maintain 0.70 until ...

What happens when an airline that refuses circling approaches wishes to fly to an airport where that is routinely required? (DCA is one example) One option is indeed to change to circling to a visual approach. May not be possible at some airports. Another option would be for approval to be given fo...

...Then there's Romania where the 'wrong' candidates have been removed from the ballot. These countries serve as a warning - Politicians aren't listening. A revolt is just a matter of time imho... I think you need to inform yourself better, friend. You haven't a clue what you're talking about. Do y...

The Pilot was clearly in way over his head. Single Pilot IMC flying requires a high level of proficiency. That includes being able to fly without the use of automation. Too often automation is being used as a crutch - not as a tool. JMHO. As for circling approaches - they are prohibited at my Airlin...

You don't need to be in the EU to work at a European Airline.

Just meet the Airline's requirements.

Residency permits are possible (I have one since BREXIT).

airbus FCTM is pretty clear.

Go-around near the Ground.

If the PF initiates a go-around, the flight crew must complete the go-around manoever.

Don't have access to the Boeing books.

Depending on the situation, I think that one can get away with quickly disconnecting the autothrottle on a typical Boeing and land. Simply hold the thrust levers in the proper position, move your thumb that is adjacent to the autothrottle disconnect button to disconnect and continue. Airbus is a li...

I've only flown the 737-300 and it's been a few years. When you press the TOGA switch the target speed will increase. Perhaps someone who flies the 737 can provide some additional information. Continuing with the approach while the aircraft is in go-around mode is not a good idea. JMHO. I see that i...

For go-around, how often does a pilot opt it or not because of MORE experience vs on account of LESS ? Let’s say an airport (or a pilot) sees an average of go-arounds performed between one and three per thousand landings, but then for some reason exceeds that number by a lot. Is there ‘benefit of t...

On applications there is usually a question if one has interviewed with company in the past 1 year or 6 months etc. Does being offered an interview without actually having done the interview count as interviewed for the purpose of this type of question? Don't overthink this - if it comes up just ex...

I wonder if the FO hesitated on the go around because he already actioned the reverse thrust. I know the procedures at some airlines dictate that you are committed to landing once you have deployed thrust reverse. I think the 737 crash in Cranbrook is the reason this policy exists. Airbus and Boein...

Hi there, I have a reseach project regarding to Dash 8/Q400 - Dowty R408 Propeller - High integrity all-composite blades.

Decades of cuts and neglect.

I'm familiar with 2 cases of take-off from a taxiway at my gateway airport. Both cases involved carriers based at the airport. Complacency was definitely a factor. One case was at night - that I don't understand as you are looking at completely different lights and colours. My company has a runway i...

The takeoff was rejected with a MAYDAY declared as per company Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The aircraft taxied off the runway and the crew contacted the operator's maintenance department. The flight crew was advised by maintenance to attempt another takeoff. On the second takeoff attempt, t...

EU army is another delusional fantasy that refuses to recognise reality.

NATO has 2 weeks of ammunition. UK has 40 (or 25) working tanks.

It's several years at a minimum to change this.

What a silly post. You could change EU to Canada or US, and the countries to Provinces or States and make the same analysis. Yes, if you work together you give up part of your autonomy or sovereignty. That's the whole point. You limit your own freedom to enjoy help from the other party. Everything ...

You really don't want to join the EU. It means giving up your Sovereignty - EU decides who you have to let in to your country. Each country gets a quota of migrants. If you don't control your border - you're not a country imho. Do you really want to become France, Belgium or the UK? Then there's Rom...
