turning wasn't an option?

You guys (and gals) have it all wrong.

Firemen are now firefighters.

Therefore, Airmen should now be referred to as Airfighters.

I don't have any first hand knowledge on this particular aircraft, but there is an STC for a third row seating in the 180/185 similar to a 206. If one of the kids was under 2, it would be legal. Whether the weight and balance could be made to work is another question, especially on floats.

Not a lot of aircraft out there that can foam their own runway for a gear up

Does seem odd to have flaps up for a forced approach. I don't know how close to the edge of the lake that van touched down, but it should go farther in the glide with the flaps up. You know, if it was a forced approach and not forced into gentle CFIT by a low ceiling/poor vis/desire to stay 'VFR.' ...

Having watched this twin otter struggle to depart from 3000', I expect a lot of their issues are from procedures getting in the way of operating the aircraft. Heck, it takes them 3 guys and 20 minutes just to get it running.

Keep a close eye on the NOTAMs for Dawson. The Yukon Government is planning to shut it down completely for over a week for paving sometime this summer. Should be done by late July, but you never know.

I've been tasked with creating some routes in uncontrolled airspace for Night VFR 703 ops. CARs 703.27 states "Except when conducting a take-off or landing, no person shall operate an aircraft in VFR flight (a) at night, at less than 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle located within a horizontal ...

Information in Canada is a closely guarded secret. www.skyvector.com is a good place to start. FltPlan Go is a free app with a lot of information: VNC, VTA, CFS (canada flight supplement) all for free. Foreflight offers a little more, but is a paid subscription. Any Yukon specific questions, feel fr...

When did this happen? Could he have been skidding on ice without realizing how much brake was applied, then suddenly got traction?

The strange thing is that within the same 2 day span, a King Air 200 went down in Alaska. So perhaps something to do with the Aircraft type?

I doubt it, its not like its a new type or anything.

I guess that’s the problem with using GPS/FMS all the time rather than the old ground speed and clock method. So there is a pilot out there who can successfully calculate their groundspeed, yet still not know where they are along a planned track? I've never understood the type of person who would n...

If you don't know where you are, how do you know when you are 30 minutes back to execute your hail mary turn?

YXD is the edmonton downtown airport, closed years ago.

If you don't know where you are, how do you know when you are 30 minutes back to execute your hail mary turn?

At the end of either program, you have a CPL and no experience. Another month to get a MIFR at Cornwall, you're still in the industry years sooner if you go via confed. 4 years from now, do you want to be a 200 hour wonder, or a 1500 hour wonder?

tired of the ground nailed it. It doesn't matter what the flying you just did was, be it 705/704/703/702/604 or private, you can't exceed the limits for x amount in the previous Y timeline.

What the hell is a "near-dangerous incident"?

Compliance date has been pushed back until Sept 30, 2019.

Wait till we have to train people how to be adults per 703.98 of the new duty regs.

Some of these laws seem silly to me:' "700.37 An air operator shall provide a flight crew member with not less than 15 minutes every 6 hours within a flight duty period to eat and drink." It would appear the pilot is not obligated to take this time? Personally, I snack all day in cruise, and never g...

I wonder if anyone even read the FRMS section, if the pilots feel
They are too tired they can say so and it dies I don’t see why people are so upset, grow a set and fill sms reports saying you are fatigued and it dies.

Thats always been the case.

I don't know anything about this course, but looks like a possible way to satisfy the requirements for single pilot ops: www.osrm.ca

Has anyone asked about single pilot operations?

Yes, somehow it is also applicable to single pilot ops. Fancy way to legislate "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate"
