Bump It’s coming up on a year ago now and I sure would like some answers. Nothing mechanical. TSB has found nothing to support that. Defaulting to pilot error likely. Some voices on the box but content can't be determined. It was a bad pairing of crew that flight. There is history leading up to thi...

Yes, association with drug traffickers is grounds for refusal. Or was it human trafficking? Or organ trafficking? Association with drug traffickers is not automatic grounds for refusal. The test is whether that association gives rise to an evidentiary based belief that it poses a danger to civil av...

Theoretically you could be personally liable for intentional deviations from rules and regulations, just like a normal pilot. Realistically I don't know of any chief pilot that has ever gotten into serious legal trouble in Canada. You're still an employee (I assume?), that offers significant protec...

Absolutely.

very good people lots of big iron pilots got their start there and many are at retirement age at the majors.

Yes, that is very true. And, in the broad picture, the owners were salt of the earth people.

Time more than likely ran out to fill key mgt spots ops mgr and cp . Transport Canada requirements audit findings after accident in Jan 2024 at the size and scope of the operation, often results in changing the mgt in order to keep the operating certificate Though the compensation of 90-110 k full ...

Pitiful.

Was there a clamoring from the masses for you to call out?

Me too. I feel sorry for the pilot as well.

The connection to religion has been misconstrued here.

Very much like many similar accidents around Hope BC, in reverse. (Wind Direction) Like westerly moisture laden winds coming from the fraser valley, similar Easterly winds out of Calgary pile up the clouds against the mountains…..creates a chokepoint, weather will always be much worse than farther ...

Anyone notice the WestJet ad on the C train in the background? Really didn’t have to go much farther but it is good to know WestJet had his back. Engines don’t look like they were running on landing. Hope this isn’t another pilot running the aux tanks dry. We already had that idiot who landed a Nav...

I can accept that a seat malfunction, or mishandling may contribute, but if it did we should have seen auto roll the wheel to full nose down if she didnt let go of the yoke. The auto doesnt need to malfunction to get a bad aircraft state, and yes it can be turned off, you would be surprised at how ...

Definitely not an issue with Nat, she was Fucking STRONG. She made a living hauling packs around the Arctic before she got into flying and always carried the heavier stuff when we went camping together. No way she couldn’t outmuscle a Navajo. Ivan, great credit to you for standing up for a pilot wh...

Squaretail, I blew this up for you and added the slope line. I think this seat has been modded to get it out of the way for entry through the pilot door. I don't think it was shot in the middle of maintenance. It's parked on a ramp, not in a hangar. The airstair isn't down. https://i.postimg.cc/bdt...

This is the 310 my friend did the metallurgy on.

I've been having a close look at the ADSB data. As I have said a few posts back, there was nothing wrong with the aircraft on the roll, at rotation at 100 kts., and in a 640 fpm climb to 400 feet. Textbook. Something happened then. Here are three key profile shots with the critical info shown. Doubl...

I never noticed that before, i didnt zoom in. However, the seat backs in the navajo pilot seats do not recline. If i was to guess, though is too hard to tell from the photo, thats a seat sitting in there not installed. Hence the angle that the back appears, its how it would look to me if you were a...

I don't know if this happens to anybody else here, but when I make a reply or reply in a quote, and hit Submit, it says I have to log in to do that. I'm already logged in. My reply disappears and can't be found.

What the...? Is it time to go exclusively to PPRune?

There is some fairly key new info.

You know a whole lot bud.

Blow that photo up. Have a look at the seat back.

Here's another photo that gives some insights.



Squaretail, is there anything you see that might assist this discussion?

Confirmation bias. Doesn’t mean that you won’t turn out to be right, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the Actual Evidence leads to a conclusion that there is not enough evidence to come to a conclusion. It would be entertaining if it turned out that there was no autopilot on board but perhaps mo...
