Frustrating isn't it Pelmet? Three guys don't get what you're saying.

I agree though, when you have a dud engine better make sure your approach is planned 100%

Jimmy2 what are you talking about?

Everything you said is BS. It's right in their ad FFS.

PC12 pilots - Thunder Bay

New base managers are for YTH and YMO.

PRM is Thunder bay based.

Jesus F, learn to read a-hole.

What is happening at North Star!!??

They get bought by Northern Store. Buy 2 more Baslers, ATR72s on the way (there's talk of jets) and now have a wicked schedule for their PC12s.

What next? They gonna paint their planes.

TC may be imposing that FO's on singles need a PPC based on CASS 723.88(2). This one: NOTE: Pilots flying single-engine IFR with passenger or night VFR with passenger require a PPC. (amended 1998/06/01; no previous version) (b) for pilots flying as second-in-command on multi-engined aeroplanes opera...

Come on

That can be easily dressed out

One thing I noticed in this report was that there was a lot of discussion of Human Factors and the role in the crash. One Human Factor not discussed was the length of the flight itself. As a 15000 hour pilot I can tell you length of flight plays a big part in a pilot's decision making, and the pilot...

If the WestJet Pilots Association is effective then don't unionize. Even if it's marginally effective don't unionize. Also don't expect ALPA or any other union make a real difference compared to your Association. All you'll see is 1.95% of your wage gone. For the guy that made $310,000 thats $6000 p...

Hmmmmm..........if AMEs have seen this why has a SDR (Service Difficulty Report) not been filed?????????????

This issue seems rather airworthiness related to me, I'm sure Beechcraft would like to know this happens.

What a beautiful plane the Stinson Reliant is.

There used to be one at the Brampton Flying Club a while ago. Owned by an old AC Captain, Neil MacDonald(??).

This plane ranks in elegance up there with Beech Staggerwings and Cessna 195s.

I think razorblade hit it on the nail.

There have been many cancellations at other airports because of OAT being less than LOUT.

linecrew, I find that unlikely. For the Dash 8'ers out there, I'm sure most are aware of FARPIN and LOSER. That is an acronym for hydraulic systems powered by an engine. Unless the #2 SPU was activated taxiing with #1 shut down means you have no "Normal" brakes (the N in FARPIN). Guess the SPU could...

PUBLIC INTEREST is supposed to mean the exemption to a CAR can't give an unfair advantage over a competitor. This is subjective, and a competitor may not know an exemption has even been granted. I'm not sure if exemptions are searchable in ATIPs but they should be. I recently heard of a new 705 star...

Here's the deal with common sense in aviation:

It is not common.

I'm sure the same applies to pilots.

Wow, poor MapleFlag, hard to get a straight answer around here eh? Cat Driver took your post on an off road journey about FTUs and WTF?? OFD bored us all with a very lengthy, not sure where he was goin with it, quote from the CARs. I think you were trying to ask "if training to a standard, has the s...

WTF! Am I the only guy that drinks when he's in Halifax.

You know Nova Scotian babies have Keiths in their bottles. Its the law. Their first spoken word is also the F-bomb.

Could have been an excellent night at the Lower Deck.

Hey Old Dog here's a new trick.

SMS. Can't be pee pee slapped for unintentional accidents. In a nutshell.

Just kidding with the Old Dog comment, I not exactly a spring chicken myself.

No such thing as a Gear Actuator CB. Smack the guy that told you that one. Accidents happen. People screw up. Be glad it wasn't you. When it is know that everyone on AvCanada will tear you a new one with conclusions based on heresay and assumption. I'm sure some of the high timers that post here hav...

Sometimes called the "rabbits".
