Re: 2022 float flying season
There is a shortage of seasoned pilots. 2 yr. of parked planes pushed pilots to other professions. Low time airline pilots making poor wages and shitier rotations moved on. Now, the window is also open for higher time bush pilots to move up. I know of 4 operators in Northern Ontario who can't find p...

Re: Winter ski operating temps
Thanks for the tips. I fly in Northern Ontario. My main concern was minimum temps and timing to re-warm the engine. Aircraft is classed as a light homebuilt.
Safe flying!

Winter ski operating temps
Hi folks. I have lots of experience on floats but am virtually a virgin on light aircraft on skis. So I have a couple of questions. 1. On a day fishing trip, how long can I park a plane and what is the lowest temp I can expect without a heat source. 2. What is the best. way to keep the engine warm i...

2022Flying opportunties?
So, 2 years ago, there were over 30 bush flying jobs posted in Jan. I'm guessing that there are going to a lot of openings at all levels of aviation, and fewer pilots. Pilots in the bush side have moved onto other trades, young guys who got the right seat couldnt afford the loans, higher time guys h...

Re: Bear Spray STC

Re: 2021 beaver salary
I don't work for less than $300 a day or $6000 a month. Don't ask me to wash the bosses car. If I'm not flying, I'm either fishing or golfing.

What a difference a year makes
Welcome to the new order. This time last year, there were 40 float jobs listed. This year.....0.

Re: Seaplane regulation changes proposed
All these opinions are great. However, as an ops manager for a small float operation, where is the "official" rules, regulations, time line, specifications for this. We just bought 4 of the tried and true thin yellow jackets which, I don't think will last a season of constant use. I understand that ...
