Everyone that flies freight has been busy since covid hit...not a true representation of the industry at the moment.

I hope those arenèt realistic options at some unions.....go get a trade ticket and say peace out aviation....come back when the booms back.

So why don't IFR aircraft just cancel IFR comming into an airport like YQT, instead of requesting a visual? It is the norm with operators that allow it. As is "VFR" departures. As stated, usually its the company SOPs that don't allow it at bigger airlines. Also to your original question, a Visual A...

It’s not for atc, it’s for the back up of ifr aircraft who want either an approach clearance or a decent so they can cancel ifr and get on with their day. Nothing worse than getting put into a hold because the people in screaming VMC won’t cancel ifr. Timmins comes to mind. Also for training, there’...

That wouldn't explain the lack of brakes though. Realistically the nosewheel steering system and brake system is completely separate, although stranger things have happened. Then again, just the brakes wouldn't be enough to overwrite a faulty nose wheel steering, which might give the illusion of no...

Maybe they’re different, but I had an RA and it was a calm normal paced “Adjust your vertical profile” the “traffic traffic” was the standard.

could be toast but the ID plate alone they could resurrect it. and really at over 7 million canadian you say it's not worth it if basler were to buy the salvage -- I wonder -- wx was a factor but not the cause. “Weather was a factor” is nothing but a cheap excuse.

You'd even make more money than at Susi. Depends where you work there and here. There have been plenty of captains making 10-15k USD per month at Susi (and some other operators) from what I have been told. That said, last I heard Susi Air was trying to reduce costs. No idea if that affects pay or n...

i am no TSB investigator nor a TC inspector but the answer to all their questions is: COMPANY CULTURE Ding Ding, we have a winner! However, still at 3 crashes...and still disappointed in the regulator's inaction. Exactly, it's just boxes. If they want to kill themselves cause they're shitty decisio...

-not certified for anti ice fluid De ice fluid can be applied an airborne within minutes on a res Sounds good, doesn't work (properly). Timing starts when you start applying.

I'd like an explanation as to why the plane doesn't belong up north?

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

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...

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