Re: Jet stream down
As I understand it, NWAL continues to fly, although nobody knows what caused this flight to crash, and thus no one has any assurance that it won't happen on the next flight. Knowledge that may provide information enabling passengers to make what may be life or death choices is being withheld by the...

Re: Jet stream down
DON’T SPECULATE! Ok, tell me what you know? NO, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Ok. (Continues to speculate) Within a week the NTSB stated water in the fuel of a fatal cougar crash 2 weeks ago. Rubber seal from fuel cap was missing. Let the mistakes made be lessons learned to fellow aviators. In Canada? No ...

Re: Flight Training - Criminal Record
Stealing a chocolate bar at walmarts will get you a criminal record and you will be banned from entering the USA, No it won't. You have to be convicted of something (not all convictions matter). There is a difference on getting into the US, and getting a RAIC. There is a lot of horseshit in the RAI...

Re: Jet stream down
You are SO wrong. The airplane was in the cold side of the hangar. De-ice sprayer was standing by and the crew were observed climbing on ladders doing a tactile test just before closing up. NWAL has some issues but they are competent at operating in the North. I know but the best way get informatio...

Re: Jet stream down
I understand the theory of what you propose, Donald. However there are people, admittedly not on here, who have an urgent interest in knowing what happened as soon as possible. This was a preventable accident, but it wasn't prevented. People who ride those airplanes are now lacking information on wh...

Re: Jet stream down
Diavik's insurance company will go after NWAL's insurance company so will likely get the details from court filings. Long before TSB does their two year long thesis and says they had the wrong altimeter setting. It will not be the wrong altimeter setting. They were taking off. The first instrument ...

Re: Jet stream down
I can't recall a fatal commerical aircraft accident in Canada were the captain was not identified in the media, while the FO is being characterized as a "victim" (granted it's the CBC, but still). I understand the familys wish not to release the name, but when has that ever stopped the media from r...

His obituary is out. His family will have their reasons for not releasing it. It will be out shortly. I'm sure many know the reason and have had the good judgment to not start tongues wagging before anyone actually knows what happened. Be one of those people. Is there a link to the obituary? There ...

Re: Jet stream down
What are the latest thoughts on factors such as icing playing a role? Image floating around from someone on board that morning. Outboard leading edge looked white and jagged. Not to say it didn't go de ice right after. Well, of course icing is likely top of the list for the TSB lads. But NWAL is no...

Re: Jet stream down
What's so messy about the weather? Seems like a typical winter day. Light snow, freezing cold. It's not that conducive to icing. Nothing a Jetstream shouldn't be able to handle. Light snow reported, but vis down to 1 SM indicates that it was pretty close to moderate. This is pure speculation, but I...

Re: Jet stream down
I hear it was the Yellowknife sked, although today is the Diavik run as well. Certainly darkness. Takeoff west. Immediate black hole.

Re: Helicopter missing near Revelstoke
What in hell could be so important in Sicamous that you would risk almost certain, in this case certain, death to fly a 206 there in darkness and rain in snow. The Cormorant turned around during the response to the ELT ping at Malakwa for awful weather. I talked to someone there, but it was rooftop ...
