If you ferry the plane loop off it cruises around 160kts, loop on you survey at 130-135kts. the worst t...

Re: Leaving an engine off

on the EMJ 175-190, if you are taxiing on one engine, there are no extra eicas messages, and if you press the take-off config button, the nice lady says "take-off okay!"

one of the highlights of my career so far was working with Les and Rooster in High Level, Ab the stories those two had about their Airspray days in that area were hilarious and amazing.

Re: Pilot Layoffs at AC and Jazz

The important thing to remember when a company announces layoffs, never accept drafts, make up flying or overtime. All you are doing is helping them to lay off pilots, make them cancel flights due to lack of pilots.

Re: Keewatin Air

how about Fugro and SGL to start, there are companies that pay good entry level wages, you just have to look.

I guess they dont operate B200's, but they do operate similar sized aircraft

Re: Which Company is worse

You would think Keystone would be a great place for a pilot, all the money they save on doing maintenance, and you know carrying extra fuel causes you to burn more fuel, so I am sure all those savings are passed on to the pilots right?

Re: PAG loses grandfather clause for 704 ops

Really the problem in manitoba isnt that Perimeter operates metro's into these short strips. The problem is that the Manitoba Government doesnt feel the need to improve these strips.

Re: IFR renewal

Cornwall is the only place to go if you want to renew, easy, and fast

Even if I lived in Winnipeg, I would go to Cornwall instead of perimeter.

Dont spray planes generally have a very low max landing weight, due to the fact they usually come back almost empty?

how do you land it when you have only burnt off a few hundred pounds of fuel?
