Try Central mountain as well maybe.

If the MM says to use a particular structural adhesive for window installation, why not just use it?
The correct adhesive might help keep the window in place should a substantial portion of duck or other bird make it past the prop.

The tip growl from a -8 is a sound thet carries for some reason, Although Air North still has some 748's that pass thru YVR (orange tails) which could also be the culprit, if they were undergoing maintenance in YVR to make an am dep. (do they overnight?) The runup area at the end of Lima or H2 wide ...

Meecka, why stick at M1? if you are going for a change ...go BIG!!! Cargojet is a pretty good company in Hamilton if you are a professional AME with troubleshooting abilities they will give you a shot (M1 or M2...whateeever!) they have lots of spots available for the next little while due to expansi...

I respectfully disagree with widow's suggestion to go to Securitas or Transport.
My personal experience in doing just that was entirely ineffective at changing anything and personally and professionally costly.

The fuselage diameter is less on the 767 which is partly why it seats less passengers. This might lead to less cruise drag and fuel burn. Cruise is likely where a tanker spends most of its time. A tanker is a fuel freighter not a passenger "bus" so maybe on this application the Air-bus loses the con...

I have done things that should have cost me my life. (period) The guy in the left seat on this trip was a cool guy.(period) Me an abuddy 15 minutes before the pilot died... while he waited for gas ...chatted with him an told him not to bend the airplane on a ferry flight cuz it would not look good o...

What about a non human factors improvement to the situation? Why not add a hardware safety system? Why not have GPS encoded 406 ELT with a remote "on" switch in the cockpit as mandatory equipment in all commercial passenger aircraft? When the engine got "sick" if the pilot flipped the switch SAR wou...

In a company that does not treat its employes well... if all the well adjusted,sensible,strong, capable,silent types move along to other better employment... who will be left? Darwin says selection will occur, a higher ratio of Whiners? Complainers? will remain. If lots of your fellow employees have...

I guess you are looking for swing wing but right now CMA Cargojet Carson Westjet in YVR fixed wing are hiring between 3 and 10 AME's each, the rotary situation should be better, just show up and say you have a R wing endorsement and you should have a job with any rotary wing operator in BC almost fr...

Battery backup "jetpacks?" are installed in B1900D's with 4 tube EFIS to keep the DPU's(display proccessor's) running under all situations. Other FADEC's run dedicated PMG's (permanent magnet generator size of a coffee mug, RollsRoyce) to ensure uninterupted power. Would have thought something simil...

There must be a shortage of "E"'s at least or AMO's could not justify bringing in overseas work visa staff to fill AME positions (in the same city where AC just laid off so many AME's).

Firstair is looking for a herc flight engineer , might be another way to go?

All who are in a position to add informed comment to this post are obviously so loyal and respectfull of the organisation in question that they are silent or... they are scared and intimidated into silence. Today as they perform good work over the ice pack east of the rock, do the CCG flight crews h...

Widow's posts uniformly have a positive spirit and are an attempt to shine a light into some shady areas. I have seen more than one pilot who had to quit flying because they had a crisis of confidence in the inherent safety of their occupation. Confused seems to be of this sort, don't make me think....

The 1900C can be configured with a large belly cargo pod also. I think the 1900C would be an ideal combi with the bulkhead in a 15 passenger setting (forward two rows/4 seats) and the big canoe underneath.
As long as your flight length doesn't test the passengers bladder endurance.

Why Composites are sh*t, Say a highly stressed primary structural component which is a composite skinned nomex honeycomb assembly, has damage (core fracture/shift with one facing skin soft and audible noise/crinkle from core flex/damage with thumb pressure applied) to an area larger than MM limits. ...

I am a bit surprised the TC document does not mention soap bubble pressurised insp for cylinder head separation. A recent Continental SAIB for ECI cylinders uses this method as a prefered insp process. I have seen this insp process work on an R1830 jug which had only a slight discolouration as the o...

An additional factor that can apply is if the wire is "tinned" or not. Some aviation copper wire is coated with if I recall correctly silver? Which has a higher conductance than copper. From my understanding stranded wire is used in aviation because of its resistance to mechanical damage from vibrat...

In my opinion Canadore has a lot going for it as an apprentice school.
But remember...
The tire mechs, Fare box techs, and other unlicensed trades working for your local bus/transit company will make more money than the majority of AME's in Canada this year... just like last year.

Not so very good.

The maintenance contractor for the US military TH-67 program used to have MM etc.. refs online, but I can't find the link anymore..... They had done a rewrite of the Bell speak into plain english (replaced the Bell MM with their own version) which had made many of the procedures more straight forwar...

The CAR's ref 624 provides for reporting defects in the journey Log can only have any use/legs when the Journey Log is made available to the "person" ( not specified as being an operator,owner, pilot or AME) observing a deficiency. Does this imply that the Journey Log be compulsorily available for a...
