When I checked the Metar last night it was 85G//. I would assume the // means to high to record but I’m not sure. Either way 85kt sustained wind is quite impressive.

The spin method was brought up at the hangar a few times when I was learning to fly gliders. It could work. That being said, when I was a flight instructor I saw plenty of students put themselves into a spiral dive when trying to spin a 172.

The LDA for runway 14 at YHZ is 7700 ft, but what about the fact that the touchdown point for an ILS is not at the threshold? On a light twin you can chop and drop once you're visual (within reason), but what about the big guys? With a stabilized approach following the glidepath right to the ground...

I had about 25 hours of my 200 for my cpl flying cadet famil flights, everything paid for by the Canadian tax payer. Transport didn’t have a problem with it, and they were aware of it. That was in 2010.

63 Canadians on board.

You can all criticize the captain for not allowing her to fly, but it was the right move. If you cannot ascertain whether the girl is fit to fly, you don't let her fly. It is not a call for MedLink if you are at the gate... it's the call for a doctor who can actually see the girl in person. Assumin...

I actually know of an individual who went direct q400 post float flying but I wouldn't expect that to occur very often. In all honesty if your goal is to get to the airlines this probably won't be the fastest path. In my opinion however the extra year or two will definitely be worth the wait. I kno...

I can’t believe it took this long to make it to avcanada.

If my memory serves correct, when I flew 1900’s it was hands off at V1 but part of the pm’s responsibility to ensure the power was set/remained set properly.

Talk about throwing birds at glass houses. TM Would be nice if some embarrassing or stupid thing most of you have here was made publicly aware just so you also can be chastised for months on end. 1 Regardless of the unintelligent videos, there are worse out there. 2 He removed said videos. 3 This h...

If WestJet is so great why do most of your pilots have applications in at Air Canada?

Everyone gets it losercruiser. You’re a sky god now. All hail air canader.

Tons of people do it. Depends on what you want. As for risk, I’m not sure working for Sunwing, a company that owns the hotels we bring our pax to, is any less secure than a regional that does work for another airline (doesn’t own the flying) assuming you’re talking about encore or one of the AC regi...

The civilian rules are pretty vague. It only states that in conditions of “extreme” cold temperature, all altitudes should be corrected. What about in not “extreme” cold temperature but below 0? Where is the transition to “extreme”? The military rules are more definitive. Read page 183 of the GPH20...

To me, the reason to correct the MAP alt is for comm failure. In any radar controlled airspace you're never going to get the publish missed. If you call in the missed, they will give you an altitude, but if your radios shit the bed at that precise instant, you need to CYA, (and the A's of the peopl...

It is an ATC assigned altitude in a radar controlled environment. If one were to cold weather correct a MA altitude, should we start cold weather correcting a SID altitude as well (rhetorical)? That’s fine to say but where is that written? How is it an ATC assigned altitude if they don’t say anythi...

I’ve always found the not correcting the missed approach altitude interesting. Everyone goes on and on about it being radar vs non radar but nobody has ever been able to show me where it is written that you don’t need to correct it if you are in a radar environment. I’ve flown into airports with rad...

This has really digressed into a mud slinging exercise. From my vantage point, there seem to be a number of themes and here is my take: 1) "I had to do time 'up north' as might right of passage so why should these snot-nose college kids get to take a pass on that experience". Different people take ...

How would you propose companies determine in a half hour interview if you have the ability to learn, without using a degree as a frame of reference? How come I have flown for some of the worlds biggest companies and was never asked about my education background??? Not even once. What stage of your ...

Doesn't hurt to ask the HR lady out for a date!

I have a friend who did this. He got the job and is now married to her with kids ballsy move regardless.

I found the David Clark fine until I started flying 6,7,8+ hours a day. I would go home with a pounding headache every day from wearing that vice on my head. I ended up with the A20 since I found it more comfortable than lightspeeds. At first I actually didn’t like it because it was too quiet. After...

So is Jazz officially a pay to fly airline? Cause another shithole airline, Lion Air, is a P2F and they seem to go off the runway every month, among other things. This’ll end well... I thought you were all for it ? Unless I’m missing sing something you were talking about how it’s a “ win - win” for...

Every generation has seen a benefit that the previous generation hasn’t seen. This is the best time to be alive in all of history. Let’s talk about aviation. I feel like most people I talk to aren’t interested in being a pilot. One of the reasons is the very high barrier for entry with accumulating...

I’ve always said this would happen. It’s the next logical step for Canadian aviation. Most of the other countries you don’t have to “pay your dues” up North or work as a flight instructor. You simply finish your training and get on with an airline in a mentor ship role. Sit as a Second officer and ...

Those night time shots are amazing.

YYZ has more flying and, apparently, will grow a lot this spring and summer. Right now there are day turns , YYZ-YVR-YYZ, which are popular, and two day pairing with overnights in YVR and YYC. The long day turns are popular since 8 or 9 of those and you have hit your max hours. The max they can sch...
