Re: High altitude cold weather corrections
I have some experience in cold weather operations. Seems to me the answers by Switchflicker, Rockie, and aux bat were correct. Don't mess with enroute altitudes. Use a higher one if the temperature correction on a lower altitude brings you to close to terrain...or a lower pressure for that matter. B...

Not saying it because if it turned out to not be true it would be a cruel and thoughtless comment.At least someone has the balls to say what everyone's thinking

It is good to see that there are other that there are other possabilities rather than a lack of stick and rudder skills that might have caused this unfortunate incident.

Re: "Dipping" into the USA
After 250 responses here you should get the idea that it is not a big deal.. But call the local ATC folks and ask them. That way you are sure you are getting it from the horses mouth and not the other end. As an aside, a couple years ago I was doing an overflight on a ferry flight from Fredriction t...

Re: Belly Fuel Tank for a Beaver
cdn...check your pms. Can you put the belly tank on with floats? I have never seen that. The belly tank is far easier and cheaper to install than the wingtips, and it goes into the center tank which I like better. If it can be used on floats, I agree, that would be much nicer for fueling...though th...

Refer to Canada (federal) labor code. It is all in there. Unfortunately, because the federal labor people do not enforce things as enthusiastically as some provincial labor boards, many aviation companies in Canada ignore them. It also would not hurt to review the provincial regualations and have a ...
