Re: PFD advice.
I like these. Still have to have the "approved" Mae west, but at least people with wear these in the plane. I have the V200. Thankfully I have never had to test it, and most people don't even know it is a PFD until I tell them.

The B100 is a great airplane provided you are not trying to put 9 guys and gear in it. The 9600 zero fuel weight can become a problem. On the up side you will always have at least 2200 lbs of fuel to get you where you want to go. Beats the Pratt 100 hands down for speed and fuel efficiency. The Supe...

Just to clarify some incorrect stats. The Fireboss can upload 550 US gallons right out of the gate, with a mission average of 650 US gallons. The capital cost comparison is a little better than 15 to 1 with the 415. Since cost effectiveness is not the issue and you can crew all 15. You put them in g...

I have had a Nanny for my 2 kids for the last three years. The provinces each have guidelines as far a pay, room and borad amounts and hours. In Alberta for 2 kids, it works out to $1420 per mont, less $300 room and board. That gives you 9.5 hours a day (8 hour work day + 45 min on each end to get t...

I think Aviall sells them. http://www.gouletaircraft.com/ These guys were listed on the web as selling them. In Winnepeg. Regular boating (non-inflatable) jackets don't work because if the machine is under water, the jackets can get pinned in the aircraft. I always used to make my passengers take th...

Not sure what answer you are looking for here. SMS is a non-punitive protocol with respect to safety. It involves self and regulator auditing. It is a company wide culture that involves everyone. Does an SMS work? Yes, if there is a buy in from everyone, including the owner. To date, there isn't eve...

PC7's are just as much money as the new VLJ's and with no potential to lease them out in the off season. The observer seat is also right over the wing. Not to mention that they are not in production anymore, tough to find and brutal for the cost of parts. I think VLJ's are coming for the birddog rol...

Anybody who flies a single engine airplane IFR or VFR should have a plan of action at all times in case of a failure. On a regular route like that, I would think that one would plan a point of no return at various points along the way that would dictate where you would go in case if and emergency. I...
