I had to do the same for the DGCA(indian) and FAA. It happens that some pilots are less than truthful

Why would you spend millions certifying an aircraft with no customer base. At the time, the only possible customer were air canada or jazz. Both have vested interests in sucking up to the feds/pq govt.

Drill and rivet gun hawhaw. A place i used to work at if you blew/flatspotted the tire, you were the apprentice for the job, and had to carry the tire around for the day...... nothing like consequences to reinfoce better behaviour

PPL students are blank slates. Their only frame of reference is their instructor. Instructors set an example on every flight good or bad and I think it is something that needs more emphasis by class 1’s and CFI Last week I was number 2 behind a flight school airplane with an instructor and student....

Because good airmanship is nicer than saying "use Common Courtesy, Common Sense, and Think Ahead" Normally followed with the voice in your head, and sometimes ekes out "F'N Retard"

I heard that trudeau was the engineer, and they were made magic, by unicorn farts, rainbows, and good hair

Diesel V-12 wouldn't this be sweet in a beaver 250# less weight 550 hp.

volume, and sucky music alert

We can all agree, LIFT is not a French word and it isn’t stamped into the buckle. All airlines in Canada should collaborate and put these nice people on a No Fly list. For safety reasons. Of course. Actually it is engraved on the buckle https://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/51369/image.jpg

Gone west too soon.

because it would need a full inspection by a qualified amo prior to return to service

the same way that putting 40-44 seats in a crj200 makes it a crj-440. most have been reconfigured back to 50 seat config

I believe that TC landed beside the runway in old crow a number of years back.they had recently graded the runway if i remember

EVAS does this because they have a tough time recruiting anyone

Kind of like an FBO I know they open the doors to the hangar, and leave the radiant heaters on. The Ops Mgr " I know what I am doing" holding my tongue isn't my strong suit...... I have other stories also

trust me someone in mgmt will know, and they will brush it under the carpet...... because if the front seats aren't filled it isn't going anywhere

I love the PT6 however in my roughly 10k hrs on them I have shutdown 3 of them. 1 precautionary, 1 about to fail, and 1 full on sh!t the bed. After the shutdown, feather and trim they all fly kind of the same a little out of trim they are a lot harder. My last failure, do the checklist fly back to d...

I had taken some B50, and didnt hydrate enough, first thing in the AM. Doc told me to go and drink several litres, and come back in the afternoon(1620 cutting it close) 3rd wee of the day, passed with no problems. I actually used a certain doctor in YHZ who told me "I can only certify what is in fro...

I disagree, the beaver flew in what 48? 11 years and a different design philosophy. The porter on floats always being fixed, the beaver progressive inspections almost never down, the caravan a higher takeoff speed, beats the snot out itself in rough water. Even though viking is coming out with more ...
