Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )
That's funny. The only thing that makes it dangerous is pilot decision making.

Re: Socata TBM Crash in Alberta
The accident report takes the position that a 3° approach is optimal for this aircraft: At this point, a descent path of 3.9° would have been required to cross the threshold at 50 feet AGL; this was significantly steeper than an optimal or typical descent path of 3°. it began to sink below the opti...

Re: The Sealand RED V12 Diesel Beaver flies!
Yes, the intake is large, there are two radiators (lower), and two intercoolers (upper). There are two high pressure fuel pumps. everything other than crankshhaft and reduction gearbox are left and right duplicates. You can (and I did) switch off half the engine, and the other half continues to run...

The otter had the same limitations before the turbine conversion.

Re: Flair off runway excursion YKF
Funny we never hear such grace for fatigue when it's a GA pilot, even a student pilot, who exits the runway. Then it's just how stupid they must have been, and it's great sport to hang that pilot. I'd think about that bias myself. Was the SP or GA aviator operating multiple hour segments through th...

Re: Air Tindi
It's common in 703/704 for the captain to do the before starts and start the engines while the FO is in the back briefing/cabin check. But what's also common is that nothing progresses until the FO is back in the cockpit and after start checklist completed.

Re: Beaver Tips
Maynard , I think you have put a lot of thought into this, and I can't find anything in what you wrote that I disagree with. I think it's impossible to generalize about seaplane technique because of how many different kinds of aeroplanes there are, and how many different load scenarios, sea states,...

Re: Beaver Tips
Good you left room for some difference of opinion. First of a all a boat prop is pushing from the back from below the bottom of the boat while on most planes the prop is pulling in the air from the front and way above the water so don't see the comparison other than they are both in the water. You ...

Re: Beaver Tips
I just got started on the Beaver this spring and this thread has been very insightful. My biggest question: which is the fastest way to get it on the step ? I have been experimenting with pushing hard, rocking back and forth, trimming it all the way forward. I always managed to get it on the step e...

Re: Dunk Course for Floatplane Pilots
Is it true that all pilots flying floats commercially have to have taken the underwater egress course starting this season. If so, are all the companies going to be able to get their pilots the proper training in time? It’s been known for a long time so no excuse to not have them trained in time. C...
