Heard the same skipper on the YFH crash as this one. Doesn’t sound like he was inexperienced

Heard somebody miss Wannawoman about 9:30, so WX might not have been great.

I heard thunder miss as well at wunnamun. The pic I’ve see looks pretty misty in the background. Probably wasn’t great. Probably landed long and off the end.

Sorry I would’ve quoted the ASB number but didn’t have it on hand at the time. I also heard from a reliable source it was the lower strut that failed. Hence why a lot of the focus on the SB is directed to that area.

I don’t think they’re grounded, but there’s a Safety Bulliten to inspect the struts/fittings/bolts, etc before its next flight.

Wow running out of fuel going back to where you should’ve stopped in the first place. Lucky to be alive. I don’t understand how people make such dumb decisions. And the kicker had he/she checked the notams it never would’ve happened. Double whaaaamy.

Speaking of Top Aces. Anyone knows the story of why their Westwind has been sitting in Dawson Creek for a couple of weeks dripping fuel from the centre tank all over the place? The westwind is notorious for leaking fuel while it sits. It’s not a lot by any means but if left unchecked than it will c...

This is (unofficially) the 5th (on record) 2 in 1956. First suspected wake turbulence, the other inadvertent rapid full flap retraction 1 in the 70's, unknown cause 1 in 2013, black sheep, determined excessive over speed on high percentage of flights While the tail has had its issues, it doesn't se...

Turbine Otters cruise at Vne. Can’t exactly be healthy for the airframe.

Not sure how many operators do that knowing it’s weaknesses. We run at 144/134mph for wheels and floats.

I prefer the cockpit and clitpit...

Looking at the prop rotation, it would pull to the left....how would it automatically go to the right? Sounds like he shouldn't be flying, let alone with kids on baord...PDM seems to lack

Should his phone have been on during the takeoff roll? Distraction is a detriment to aviation safety, not alerts.

983-2047

We don’t bite.

Anyone else notice the left elevator is missing? Wonder if it’s with the crash site or a few hundred feet away

Yes the condition levers have a gate....but with the amount of cycles I amigine it has, the hard corner would over time not be pointy. Also I assume the captain shuts down the airplane. This would be a pull force to the left every time, which tiny amounts over and over would make the lever arms not ...

Is there any difference between a " black hole departure " and a departure in IMC with a 200 foot ceiling?

Yes, the pilot.
One departure can be done by a low time VFR only pilot. The other would only be done with an IFR pilot who's comfortable flying in IMC.

I am a flight instructor that purchased a Bose X aviation headset whose external wiring has frayed where it meets the ear cup and now I am being told the only authorized service center in Canada no longer supports repairs for this nor carries parts. I paid over $1100 C for the bloody things and the...

Doubtful

Looking for some real world stats on the EX on floats.
Please send a PM.

Thanks!

Looking to get some info on the Caravan EX on wips. If there is someone operating one, can you please send me a PM as I'd like to get some real world numbers on the machine.
Thanks!!

Illya Kuryakin , what are the three recent fatal accidents you are talking about? Other than this latest one, I can only think of the Caravan that crashed several years ago. You know, the one where the pilot was high on drugs. What's the third? There was no recent third fatal accident, lllya kuryak...

So on a Cessna or Beaver you will have to wear them. On an Otter or Twin Otter no.

Not sure if that makes sense.

Otter would also require them, 9 pax.

If you stand by the tail of any piston single with a regular horizontal stabilizer, with the prop turning, which way is your hair blown? Does it depend on the wind direction? He mentioned significant tailwind and a light taildragger. Therfore, assume a 20kt tailwind and I'm sure it will overpower t...

Some people say wheels down in 10, some people say shooting the approach. All the same.
