Re: Keystone Navajo Accident in Thompson

It's surprising they managed to start up, run up, taxi, take off, and fly for 3 minutes before the lines ran out of AvGas considering it is Lighter than JetA. Plus the wing broke off and all lines attached to the engine were severed yet no fire!!! I know JetA isn't as explosive as AvGas but lets hop...

Re: Hard Copy vs Electronic Logbooks

I have kept my paper logbook up until I got my ATPL. After that, I switched to electronic. What I do is provide both at interviews and have never had an issue.

Re: Keewatin Air LP - Pilots

Did anyone apply for the Lear posting they had at the beginning of the month? If yes, did you get called for an interview? How did it go?

Re: Pilots, get your sleep. It's your responsibility!

As a medivac pilot myself, I can assure you I get way more than the minimum rest period off. The issue is not there. The issue comes into play when you have been oncall all day and get that 11pm call. I don't understand why a days and nights schedule doesn't get adopted or mandated by tc. I have wor...

Re: Kirby Lake Crash Oct 25th

This incident has saddened us all and we wait to see what the cause of this accident is. My sympathies go out to the family of the fallen and prayers for a quick recovery for the survivors.

Too Fat??? Well too Bad!!!

Well a couple points to mention; First there should be a max weight for a standard ticket, probably around 230 lbs. If you weigh more you pay per pound.

They Seem Good
