Yes people get on it. Time is running out to have your say. Nothing will change if people don't have the guts to take a stance for some positive change in the industry. Feel free to question why there is no talk of changes to being on 24/7 Reserve. This is a huge grey area of contention with the pil...

Calling all experienced Navajo drivers! A Chieftain with TIO 540 engines. It's 25 degrees C (and hotter), just shut the engines down. Within 10min you want to leave again. What is the best way to get these engines started? Does anyone know a foolproof hot start method to get them going everytime? th...

Are the engines on there Lycoming IO-360's?.....perhaps when the injector contamination happens again, work backwards...as in check, and clean the injector screen, the airframe screen, then sample from the drains from the tanks. If you are using MOGAS...it could possibly be the source, as in, alchoh...

Its due to the fact, that in your maintenance schedule, its part of the CAP, or continious airworthiness program, and its incorporated into the aircrafts maintenance manual, which, in your maint. sched. you said to T.C. that you would use to maintain the aircraft to those standards. Its a buggar, th...

Thanks all for the responses.

"Endless", where do you find a sprayer that has an element for heating. Great idea, however I looked at a couple stores like UFA and Acklands, but couldn't find. Any idea who makes it or where I can find it?

Does anyone have experience with Kilfrost? Can it be used at room temperature or does it need to be heated? What kind of portable container do you keep it in? Best type of sprayer to use with it, will a garden sprayer work? Any ideas on how to keep it heated? Any tips or hints on using this product?...

What would you like to know? Are you going to work there or just doing a flight into there?

Anyone ever heard of using this 210 spray on the deice boots?

Does it leave a greacy film on the windows?

Also, does it prevent ice from building up in the winter?

Thanks for the info.

Flew overheard Grande Prairie around 1400 today and there was an aircraft sitting on runway 07. The runway was closed due to the disabled aircraft. Anyone know what happened?

That is a drag indeed. Does anyone know the company? I know that Conair uses the turbo commander bird dogging.

Allison Air Service out of Cooking Lake ( south east of Edmonton) does them in a Super Cub for about $1400. http://www.allisonair.com Look under services. Great operation, check them out. 780-922-1083

Where do you buy that 210 spray? I tried searching for it and couldn't find it. I have heard of that for the deice boots, does it work to bead the rain too?

bigsky....why is pledge a big no no?

From what I hear, a lot of people make the trip down to the Edmonton area. Allison Air Service is out of Cooking Lake airport and they do the ratings on the PA18 Supercub. Great company. Look them up http://www.allisonair.com.

I signed up my spouse and I a few months ago. Sure seems great so far, but I haven't had to make any claims. That's really going to show how good they really are. Great to deal with and a local company (Leduc) run by people who are actually in the industry. It will sure be the cheepest insurance you...

So are the requirements different depending which machine you fly?

Or is it the same standard for all companies. Just wondering if I meet these minimums.

Anyone know where I can get info on the pilot requirements for these Contrail contracts?
Thanks

If you have a Palm Pilot there is a great program called "Copilot". You can do all flight planning with the airport idents or nav aids as waypoints or if a place you want is not in the database, you can create it yourself and call it whatever you want. It'll give you headings, distances time on rout...

Hardly in the middle of no where. It is only 25 minutes from ne Edmonton and even less from the south. Nice quiet drive when most people are going the other direction. Cooking Lake is a great little airport. It's relatively quiet and low stress environment for teaching and flying out of. Cheaper for...

ZLIN 142C Nice to see someone with a positive attitude. :D Great post! You are so right about the Karma thing, and helping each other out, and everthing else you said for that matter. There are a lot of childish negative people out there who are attemting to poison our minds. To the guilty ones, OK ...

Just wondering if anyone knows the proper method of flying a DME ARC using a Standard head VOR. I have the HSI set to the loc or IB track, and on a 10 nm dme arc as approaching about 11nm or so, I start a turn in the opposite direction of the runway (90 degrees) to follow the arc. Now what exactly d...
