Re: De Havilland contemplates stretched, shrunken Dash 8-400

I hear Q400 guys all the time revising their TAS with ATC, so I'm wondering if how much they are throttling back, and why?
I'm thinking it's overpowered to compete with the jets and just not economical to use the power so company mandates economy power settings....anyone with answers??

If all the pressures and temperatures are within limits, don't shut it down. Run it at idle if you have to and bring it around....

OOhhh don't worry boys, FIRSTAIR is still skimming 10% off each of those loads that they don't have to do anything for. It's all about the licence to do the work in Canada.

Nobody gets a job flying the computer.....get out there, be keen, introduce yourself, be courteous, sell yourself, and call back in a couple of weeks.

Re: Type of engine on Canadian 737s

To me this seems like a reasonable move by the FAA.
There appears to be an issue with the blades, and for the airlines to be able to do this inspection overnight without a huge expense seems reasonable to me. The optics of another failure would create a serious issue with the traveling public.

Re: Summit Air current ramp wait times (1.5-2 yrs.)

Advise..... Don't waste your time working the ramp for this outfit. The reason for this is, most of the work this company does is for companys that require the Bars Standards https://flightsafety.org/bars/bar-standard/ and the pilot flight requirements are far in excess of what a "rampie" would have...

Converting lycoming 150 to 160 HP question

http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt80/sstocker31/IMG_0909.jpg I have a very early narrow deck O-320 no suffix, that I would like to convert to 160 HP. Lucky for me, it used the very early spline nuts to bolt the cylinders on, and therefore already has long cylinder studs in place. The long studs a...

Re: Misfueling close call

It would be interesting to know if it had the big 100ll stickers that go around the fuel caps as a last warning before getting fueled with the wrong stuff.
With so many incidents like this repeatedly happening, it's amazing anyone flying a piston pounder isn't more diligent with fueling procedures.

You guys need to wake up and open your eyes.....everyone up north operates overweight at times.

Re: Buffalo Joe temporary shut down?

Personally, I like to see Joe run around with the 3 & c46, and I wish he would use the DC4 again.....I love watching the old piston pounders go, they still get the job done.
