I used a 406 ELT once, self activated after an engine failure in flight. From 7500' to surface and successful landing, and about 10 minutes, you would think they could get a pretty accurate location with this super advanced technology. They managed to narrow my location down to a 50NM radius circle ...

To muddy the water further - FSS WILL give you your IFR clearance (I don't know about muskoka specifically, but in some places) but its not actually them clearing you. They've made a phone call to the appropriate center and are just relaying the information. Also worth noting - controlled airspace i...

Yes - Thats how I sent mine.

Let’s think those who believe this was not a good decision by the pilot in the video, are simply not as good...

there is no requirement to do the performance calculations required of 704/705 ME aircraft. That said, you do have an obligation to operate the aircraft within its limitations - if the manual says you need 2000' to get airborne, and you depart from 1500', you're going to be fine, right up until you'...

Its not just a west jet policy,its law. Those same people are required to wear a mask on their corporate charter too.

The way I read it, the self attestation is only good till Aug 1 anyway. What a goat show. The August 1 change is to handle the previous exemption, which was a blanket 60 day extension for anyone expiring between April 1 and June 1 (extending them to a max of Aug 1). Then TC changed to the declarati...

Just make an entry along the lines of "to correct for errors on XX date" new total times are X, Y, etc"
Its really not that big a deal. I would challenge you to find any paper logbook that hasn't been redone and has no errors in it.

I paid $50 for a medical extension in the middle of March, days before the blanket extensions were issued. It took me over two months and dozens of emails and phone calls to get a refund. Not a huge deal, but a giant pain in the ass.

if this were illegal you would never see kit aircraft for sale. Obviously not the case.

In your example, if one is on a visual approach on an IFR flight plan, would the departing traffic be allowed to depart VFR on an IFR flight plan? Subject to ATC approval Hmm okay. Let me rephrase. Assuming nice weather. From an ATC point of view: in which situation would a plane that is not cancel...

Whitehorse is a great example of why. As a non radar environment in the mountains, they can only have one aircraft on the approach/missed at a time. Anyone else will be given a hold. This can become extremely limiting as minimum safe is 11,300 and non pressurized aircraft like the caravans and navaj...

How about taxiing for other than departure? Lets say we're taxiing across the field to the self serve fuel pump. Lets say its a VFR aircraft, getting ready to depart when the weather improves.

I can't imagine anybody is hiring at this point. As a CP of a 703 company, I generally try to respond to most applications even if we are not hiring. Ive certainly seen an increase in applications lately, but hard to say if thats virus related or seasonal. I don't think it is really poor etiquette ...

You can occasionally make a call with global star at those latitudes. I've never had an iridium fail.
If you don't need voice, an in reach offers excellent remote communications at a fraction of the cost.

Won't be any if he can't get a medical. We've lost at least one pilot to that scenario.

Keep in mind that there have been upwards of 30,000 pilots laid off in the last month, and its going to take years to recover. If I was not already well situated in aviation, I wouldn't be looking to get into it right now.

best advice I could give is heaviest stuff as far forward as you can get it. Put light stuff at the back and that will lock the other stuff from shifting back. If it is not a full load then ropes and nets work well. Take advantage of float compartments (although you almost always forget you put som...
