I did a quick search on this topic, but it came up somewhat blank. Just wondering what you guys are using for weight and balance apps (Apple)? Used Flightscale in the past, however it's no longer available / won't work with the latest updates. Looking for something which would work for both helo (la...

Thanks for that, I did not know they were crossing the Atlantic or half the Pacific with the B737 - that explains a lot! I just asked a simple curious question. The bigger question here now for me is why my question solicits sarcastic replies that contain negative and agressive undertones. Not the ...

Highly recommend Ocean Air.

You may want to consider Henderson Executive airport. I've always had great experiences flying into there. Quick ride to the strip.

Thought I'd restart this thread. Has anyone ever rented a plane in Florida to fly around the Bahamas for a week or so? Any suggestions or recommendations?

Coming to North America in 2015…

Are all the booklets printed at one location? My licence expired in Jan, so in early Dec I went to the TC office and was told to expect a new one within three weeks. Well, within two weeks I had a new one... No joke. Quickest processing I've ever seen.

Forgot to mention, One Six Right was pretty good too.

Alright, I'll bite...

Maybe it's just my helicopter side, but... FIRE BIRDS!

Anyone on here base a plane out of Cooking Lake???

Baffles are the way to go. I've got loads of winter hours in them and have never had a problem, even around -20.

How accurate is the 250hours requirement? If that's all they want, great for guys starting out... wish these opportunities were around when I was getting into the industry. hare In OUR Success… Grow With US… Take YOUR Career To New Heights!

Good to hear he survived!

I can't believe he walked away from that

Good news.

If WPS does indeed purchase a police helicopter it will be a great move. Not only for officer safety, but for overall effectiveness and pressence. For an officer working patrol on the ground, it's very helpful knowing your colleagues are watching over you. An R44 won't work - all the radios, scanner...

Years ago I had to remove the GPU cable from a Harvard II while it was running; no big deal. Just a really shitty blow job. On a side note, what is it with Harvard II pilots turning their strobes on when they're on the ramp and taxiing? Not so bad during the day, but at night it definitely shows poo...

That average for doctors is pretty low. Maybe it's average for a GP, but definitely not other specialties. My dad's an anesthesiologist and made over $400k last year. You can't really compare a pilot to a doctor or lawyer. Anyone with half a brain can get a CPL and eventually end up flying something...

The Jazz Dash 8's at CYXD ARE charters for the Calgary Flames. To answer the last post, all of the players equipment is sent by ground transport to Calgary. So yes, a Dash 8 can fit all the players, coaches, and management; along with their personal bags. And they DO NOT have to be provided with a A...

heck it's FedEx so you know it's a solid gig

Ah, did Morningstar get their FedEx contract renewed? Last I heard, FedEx was still accepting bids.

I think unions are illegal in the UAE.

I was always much more fond of Courtney...

Pilots turning on their Strobe Lights at night when they are taxing. Very Very unprofessional.

Turn them on ONLY when you're on the ACTIVE runway!!!

There are some gas stations in Ottawa (Sunoco) and Vancouver (Petro-Canada) that have 94 Octane at the automotive pumps already.

Here you go:

Global news had a story on the Evergreen 747 when it was in YEG yesterday. They said it costs approximately $30,000/hour to fly and can only operate from YEG in Alberta... therefore, Alberta Forestry says at this time they have no need for it.
