Re: The Terrorist Have Won!
It is important that everyone realizes that it is not a backpack full of explosives that is being missed at security checks. I am not going to post the video myself because too many on here would blame me for showing how to make the same type of bomb that this particular terrorist most likely used. ...

Re: GTAA vs. Transport Canada : Security
I believe the Minister was trying to prove a point that just because you have something laminated hanging from a clip on your chest, doesn't mean it is a real pass and also that there are areas that he could get airside without anyone questioning him. Just because an individual has a high vis vest o...

Re: Con Plane Goes Missing
In this particular case, it is important to remember that this was a student from Confed. Not someone over the fence that didn't belong anywhere near the place. If the keys were on a 'sign-out' system, all this fella had to do was wait a few more hours (or days) until he was heading out for some sol...

I think it says this happened around 06:50am Tokyo time. They certainly had some rotten winds to deal with:

Re: Miracle on the Hudson, Or more journalistic horse hockey
I have a question. Considering the flight attendants themselves had no idea they had just landed on water, how would the poor bastard sitting in the aisle seat near the back have any clue, either? Now are you going to be the last person off the plane or are you going to be the first one off, over th...

Re: CF-18s intercepted plane on eve of Obama visit
I have two brothers working in Inuvik right now. While talking to one brother on the phone last evening, three military choppers were just leaving the airport and flew over his hotel on departure. He couldn't say whether or not they were Canadian Forces or American. So there are military operations ...

Re: Continental Flt 3407 Crash at Buffalo/Niagra Intr'nal
Is anyone able to post any published Sigmets, Pireps or Metars for the Buffalo/Niagara airport for that specific time period. I am just wondering what may have been mentioned in their weather package (re:degree of icing) for the area around Buffalo. I don't have an approach chart for the Buffalo/Nia...

Re: Complaint to Nav Canada on ATC - worth it?
The examiner beside me was working the radio GForce Weird, never heard of an examiner doing the radio work for someone on a flight test. EngineGuy As I had been doing everything as I normally would (yes, radios, too) up to that point, I was quite surprised myself when the DFTE told me just to relax...

Re: Complaint to Nav Canada on ATC - worth it?
I remember, quite some time ago, doing my ride for my private licence heading into Waterloo Airport. The examiner beside me was working the radio and requested clearance into the control zone from the west for a touch-and-go and then a departure to the east. The controller cleared us left downwind f...

Re: Tax Season
Having always filed tax returns, including my two years at flight college, I was kind of surprised when Revenue Canada audited me regarding some flight training. It was during my third year on floats, I received a letter asking me to prove that my multi-ifr training, that I completed two years previ...
