Go outside and get some fresh air pelmet.

I agree!
Slow news day pelmet?

Ivermectin is not just for horses! FFS the media is demonizing a potential tool in the fight to control this virus. Most of us can agree that vaccines seem to work fairly well, but why are they the ONLY option recommended by the "experts"? Why are doctors not allowed to explore, or even f**king talk...

https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/aviation/2017/a17c0146/a17c0146.html This is just getting ridiculous now. 3 years, 6 months and still no final report from TSB! Their website indicates that the investigation has been in the "report phase" since January 2020. Interesting fact, the Sw...

I'm glad nobody was hurt. I bet it'll still take the TSB over 3 years to complete the investigation!

Well, there's 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back. That was the most boring video I've ever seen.

Long story short, this is pretty much the same situation that the FAA is going through with Boeing right now. Too much trust given by the regulator (POI) and not enough oversight.

It's been over 2 years and 4 months since the Westwind ATR accident and there has yet to be a report published, it appears to be stuck in the "report" phase. Both crew survived as did the FDR and CVR. Whats the hold up!?? Come on TSB do your fricken job! I can only assume the report phase gives the ...

Wow, figuring out how to get a PT6 lit with zero training, I'm quite impressed
The insurance company however, does not share my sentiment!

The TSB report should be out soon I'd assume? It's been almost 2 years since the crash!

Wow, this guy has absolutely no evidence of pilot error. Good luck with that lawsuit holding up in court
Nothing to see here, carry on.

That being said, your post would suggest captains should've marched into the CP's office and say they refuse to fly to ZFD until they upgrade the deicing equipment. Care to take a guess at how that would've played out? :lol: The answer to that is simple. The flight would not go until the safety iss...

If westwind can't operate legally how they are setup then its the Captains job to set the parking brake till they do. You think those bars on his/her shoulders are for decoration? That's the kicker, they were legal to operate! The deicing box was "ticked" so TC must have been happy that the spray c...

At the risk if putting words into his mouth, I think that what Guilden is getting at is the corporate safety culture of Westwind Aviation was the root cause. When senior managers who have absolutely no aviation experience are tasked with running an airline you will undoubtedly see a corporate cultu...

What a sh!tty week for airline operations.

Pilots will always give you their opinion whether asked or NOT, as seen in these forum pages. But, god forbid, if someone from outside the industry asks for their opinion, they bitch about being asked for it!! :roll: I don't get it.... The reporter is just doing his job, his due diligence, settle th...

Some hide it better than others. I can guarantee you there are guys out there right now that suffer from anxiety but power through it to stay employed.

Saw the WEW ATR flying around La Ronge this afternoon Probably a test flight with a buyer. Heard the 705 AOC has been reinstated, probably some training flights with transport Canada watching. Ya, with TC watching :roll: I feel much safer now. Maybe if they would have been "watching" in the first f...

Well, I guess this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Big boots to fill, these two guys were top shelf.

This was a non-fatal accident, thank goodness!! The Caravan got a "get out of jail free" pass today. When the hell will TC decertify the icing approval for this AC? How much more blood do they need to have on their hands? The caravan sucks in ice and should be prohibited from operating in icing cond...

What does COPA actually do? Have they done anything significant?

Is there a contract reason why they're set on 500mpic? Must be a customer requirement. Also, if you have 500 MPIC, there might be a slightly less chance of making the typical green captain mistakes. Chewing up composite props on gravel, landing with the gear-up, taking off with snow on the wings, t...

From what I hear from a friend inside, there will be a lot more ads in the near future.
