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.

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.

I didn't say anything about the company. Priceisright was trashing the MEC. The company didn't make improvements, the MEC did. I could go to any company and identify issues. Are they worth grieving over? Probably not. I also didn't say it was a great company. Also how does he know how bad EVAS is, d...

Don't do it man. I was at Wasaya for 6 months in 2018 . I wanted to quit after Day 1. Very, very bad company. On par with EVAS. The union is horrible as well. Didn't have any time at all for my grievances. Union Reps are flying the -300 Goldcorp plane so they have it good and don't care about any o...

Interesting. I’ve landed a metro before the intersection, and watcheda jazz classic as well. Tons of room for a beaver

Do you have to swear you won’t keep a copy of the test? I might make up a handy study guide for y’all if and when I write mine...

No and as far as i can tell, it didn't say to not use google either

Does a real pilot license exempt you from requiring to get a stupid drone license ? No! I just wrote the basic exam yesterday...there was a question on effects of icing on a fixed wing, human factors, DAH (which I've never heard of as an ATPL holder). I understand the knowledge requirements around ...

Sorry, we require our pilots have at least 4695 hrs.

Had the guy put 4,693.7, then I see humour in your post. But he already rounded, so you just look like an a$$.

13-16kt Tailwind, 5800' Runway and +RA.....hmm.....

A Cessna is a Cessna, IMO. The numbers are different, and the engines as well, but they all FEEL the same. A 172 feels like a 182, 185, 206, 208; they just get bigger. I've heard even the straight wing Cessna jets pretty much feel like a rock solid 172. I notice you left out the crowd killer. Proba...

In Fort Frances, I once debated with a fellow pilot

As a Fort boy, it bugs me you had that conversation there.
