For Sale Canada Goose Snow Mantra Parka Lightly used for 2 winters. Never fuelled in. Worn from the house to the car and from the car to the plane. Always carried it in the plane in the winter northern latitudes just in case. I love this parka but I don't need it any more. $400 I'm in Victoria, if y...

Low tide and High tide in Queen Charlotte City

as sandspit was mentioned.

Hey, do you recall more specifically where this is? I spent a few years in the archipelago.

Great pics by the way.

Hey, I need a room 3 - 4 nights a week. near the Canada line or YVR or Coal harbour.

Thanks,

I think Viking in Victoria sells them, but you might not like the price.

Haha, I was waiting for that comment. Your right, the painfully early part is taking the bags the first leg from Calgary.

This is a polarizing topic. We've also run several engines to tbo with the multi grade and had positive results as mentioned above. I don't like the warm up characteristics of of the 100 in the summer or the winter.

I think the 100 is oldschool, modern multiweight oils are great.

I'm interested, check your pm's.

Wow, thanks for posting these. Its a shame that most of this stuff was thrown away when it became out of date. I love old aviation books and the like. Any chance you would be willing to scan and post the approach and airport diagram for Vancouver? it would mean alot. I would offer the buy the book b...

Hey there team, I'm about to get a new Parka (for the Arctic) What are you folks wearing? Or wish you were wearing? Brands, models. I was thinking Canada Goose, but I don't know if there is a better option? Of the two that I have had one sucked and the other I like but it's not warm enough. Thanks, C.

Don't buy some junk headset, you will not be happy with it! If you don't believe all of us, wait to buy one until you've done a few hours of training. It's likely that the flying school has shitty headsets like ASA, Avcom or old DC's, Try them out, you will soon see that they suck. If an instructor ...

First, this guy don't look to legit. Second, I just looked back in the ol' log book and my ppl was 44 days start to finish including the written and the flight test. Just say'n.

With out slagging the guy on here, I'd stay away form Tom D. at Island Coastal Aviation. There is plenty of real training around.

Make sure the tip tank selector is off when you are filling them. Did that once. Also I think the machine fly's kinda crappy with them full, mostly in turns. Like the other folks said, If no one can remember when they were used last check to see that they are clean and dry and serviceable. I'm sorry...

Those were the best days of my life!

Now - Seems like its been a lifetime in a Beaver.

I just wrote the exams and I used the book from these folks http://www.sharperedgesolutions.com/index.htm Their out of Vancouver and I was happy with the product. It has Keynotes and exam questions. I passed.

Hey "BigglesNBella" sounds like someone is bitter about not getting a flying scholarship.

Another former member here, 6 years with 744 squadron. There's a lot of us that got our start in this industry from the Cadet program. Its not for everyone but It changed my life in a positive way.

Hey there, The above info is good (but I only skimmed it). This Nav Canada Local West Coast GFA (LGF) is a really handy tool that a lot of people seem to overlook. http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/GenerProduit.pl?Produit=LGF&Langue=anglais&Region=zvr&NoSession=NS_Inconnu The weather ca...

Try going for a flight in a glider.

I also like to continuously pick the best forced landing site for each given phase of flight and then pick a new one once out of gliding distance of the first one.

Remember the Space Shuttle is just a glider.

I'm with you glorifiedtaxidriver, pay by the mile only encourages "flying heavy, badly maintaned airplanes, in bad weather, while exhausted"

PDM folks, PDM.

In BC most people refer to them as "Beaching Gear".

Anyone been though YQQ? if I recall correctly (and it's been awhile) the landing clearance there sounds something like "ABC you're cleared to land runway 30 both cables removed check gear down." To this the controller is expecting you to acknowledge your landing clearance and include "Gear down" I h...
