A) you don’t need a PTR after your PPL, once you have a license you don’t need a PTR your logbook will suffice. B) 300nm cross country doesn’t need to be done under supervision C) if all of your ratings were done by instructors on an adhoc basis and not through a flight school that’s still legit as ...

I'm shocked how pilots these days have no integrity... and no patience... jumping on bonds to go regional ASAP before they've truly learned the fundamentals of flying! Sad state of affairs... if I were an employer and took a gamble on you as a new hire 250TT know-nothing.. where the f@#$ is the gra...

Would a Citation 11 wide door do the job? B.C. Govt used these for years though I don't know the cost structure compared to the King Air. MB government already runs their own Citations, the problem is they run them 604 not 703/4 so they can’t meet the landing distance on the chart when the commerci...

I wonder if the torque profile of an electric motor would allow the use of a fixed pitch prop? Beavers fly in a narrow speed window, so wouldn't be drastic here. It's not like you need to decrease engine RPM to gain drastic efficiency or decrease engine wear either. Electric motors are generally pr...

I'm quite curious about how much smaller the noise footprint will be with sound coming from just the prop.

judging by how loud drones are I'd say not much less, a 2 blade 185 is one of the loudest airplanes there is on takeoff and its all from the prop.

Better hope you ever get a “Batt hot” light up front.

As for the batteries sustaining themselves long term, I used to be a pretty negative person towards them but some really high mileage Toyota Prius’s have proved me wrong.

I joined Jazz at age 36 and never looked back. Had the opportunity to go to AC but never took it and no regrets with that decision. Best training to be had from a great bunch of guys & gals, mind you I'm sure my instructors went home and had a stiff drink after my training sessions :roll: Now retir...

Aimia has a bunch of cash and nothing to do with it...

First question you need to answer is do you have a scheduled service? Can you offer anything to the other airlines? If either is a No then it can be a tough go

Most contracts have a “force majeure” clause in it which I’d think a complete grounding of a portion of the fleet could be argued in court would trigger.

Their crew is stranded at the Sandman Toronto. They were supposed to operate YYZ-KEF tonight. Sucks that they will have to find their own way home. That is honestly something I’ve never thought of. The news always talks about the passengers getting stranded but for some reason I’ve always thought t...

Tesla was looking at a battery swap thing years ago not sure if that style would work but that’s what I was thinking.

If there is an operation where the distance between legs will allow this to make sense it’s probably harbour air. The most interesting thing for me is how an electric motor will hold up to the corrosion of a salt water life

Someone mentioned run a smaller aircraft but unfortunately the NU gov did this to themselves by requiring ridiculous things for medical contract work such as a "Jet Aircraft" for YWG-YRT This literally has nothing to do with the thread. This thread is not about medevacs. It is about The majority of...

I suggest some of you do some research on the financial health of TS (cash flow particularly). TS is in a restructuring phase and trying to build a solid base for a new vision. In the mean time, at the transportation department, we all keep trucking along as we wait for the first 321LR to arrive an...

at least YHZ has nice new bathrooms though...........

interesting, thanks for the replies to give insight to the long haul corporate world.

That is pretty incredible, my only question that arises from this is if corporate operators use “RP’s” / bunks?

Hello, Query: I applied in Oct’17, OTS. Received mail confirmation. Keep updating my application.

Is i...

Pretty sure it would be an invasion of privacy and the lawsuit you could follow up with would let you retire early

How do 767’s do elevator trim? Jack screw?

IF WJ management came out and brought swoop under the WAWACON of the new mainline contract I bet they could regain buy in and “culture” pretty much overnight
