Re: Westjet Hiring

Dave, in WJ's opinion... which scores more points towards getting hired: PIC on a 704 (+12,500lbs) classed turbo-prop or F/O time on a 705 classed turbo-prop?

Re: questions about ho's

Methinks it is just that, an airplane being built under license by another manufacturer. The Do-328 now being built by Antonov as the An-328 is a good recent example, I'm sure there are many more. Same basic aircraft design, maybe slight modification? As for the speeds, I flew an early model -350 a ...

Re: What Really Grinds my Gears

I don't care who you are, the amount of flight time in your log book, or how much local knowledge you you have. Don't bust published approach minimums! Grow some, and go missed. You're not doing anyone any favors by getting in. For those busting minimums repeat after me me. "I am intentionally brea...

Re: Engine Failure Alternate Minima (IFR)

Maybe I'm totally out of it, but I personally have never heard of any Turbo Prop just fail and be useless from a second to an other, other than running out of gas.
How about if the high pressure fuel pump calves in something like a 1900?

Re: Caravan Flap Design

The notch on the 208 was used for clearance around the top cargo door, on the 208B as mentioned, the notch was kept to avoid reengineering a different wing. However, it also serves another purpose on both the 208 and the 208B...the airflow over the little divot on the L/H flap flows in such a way th...

On a similar note, is there an ice strip on Ferguson Lake this year or is the new land strip good enough for the Hawkers? Is that place busy at all or has it slowed down like everything else has seemed to?
