I've had couple holds behind Jazz or waiting to t-o in non controled areas because they wouldn't cancel on marginal vfr days D-8 probably approaches 130 kts 10 nm finals... But I guess when you have that many pilots it's SOPs all the way down. Yes, I think it SOP not to cancel. Air Canada never can...

Re: ORNGE. Question

Why the use of the word "medevac" on each and every transmission. I've flown a few in my time, and the "medevac" is required only on initial contact.....and then ONLY if you are actually medevac status. I suspect you are not, at least half the time.

Thanks grey wolf. My thoughts on flying a single....why be at 100 knots ten miles out? It turns a reasonable glider into a piano. As for airmanship.....well, I've given up expecting any.

Okay, I'm curious. Don't mean to come off as rude here, but. We followed one of your PC12's into YXL yesterday. You had a 19 mile lead on us and we still had to "slow to minimum safe speed..."

Re: Canadian Jet does Gear up landing

How depressing. We spend the first 500 (or so) hours of a students career, having them fly fixed gear aircraft, and we teach them in that first 500 hours to NOT lower the gear. What do they do, when they get in an RG aircraft? What we taught them to do - NOT lower the gear. Learning factor of Prima...

Re: Canadian Jet does Gear up landing

Do pilots REALLY need a check list to put the gear down? There are two items to be completed on every landing. Flaps set and gear down. When you leave the house every morning, do you need a check list to remember your pants? Shakes head. Let the excuses begin. Really?

Mine expires March 1. The paperwork has been sent in. If I can't get a temp licence I'll just grab a cheap flight to Mexico and work on my tan till they get around to sending a renewal.

Nope. All previously logged time will count.
On a brighter note, time logged on the ramp will now count as 50% towards your forklift drivers ticket and ATPL.
