Re: Jeju Air
Let the coverup begin. The Koreans deleted that data, I guarantee it. I guarantee you haven’t a clue what you are spouting off about. Have you worked in Korea? No chance, perhaps just clicking too many conspiracy links? ADS-B data coincidentally stopped at the same time. This is more a poor aircraf...

Re: Thunder Airlines
I don’t warrant your accusation (troll) and am asking you to support your claim. Otherwise a retraction is the correct thing to do.

1400TT, 600 PIC bcpilot you posted this 14+ years ago. That’s ~1100 hrs over that time span. Did you exit aviation or inherit someone else’s handle?

Re: Don't Cut The Corner
Thanks DHC-1. It would have helped had I taken the time to review ATC audio and notams before posting. Wide body (especially 777-300ER) require extra care when exiting D3 (and E) off 06L as those 90 degree taxiway’s are narrow.

Re: Don't Cut The Corner
D3 off 06L requires the use of an oversteering technique. Not a technique to be rushed and it requires the full attention of the crew. C3 to C then D3 allows for proper taxi width for wide body aircraft. I haven’t operated into YYZ since BC (before Covid) but I’m having difficulty imagining how a la...

Re: Retirement age.
whats the $ threshold when one can retire? Try using this government website. It’s not perfect but might give you some clues on what $$ you need to retire. As has been written earlier retirement goals are very individual. https://srv111.services.gc.ca/generalinformation/index I’d ideally be content...

Re: Air Canada Rouge EGPWS warning at Huatulco
I’d agree. A healthy dose of S.A!
Having operated into this airport many times in the past (C3,SSV days) this place along with OAX, MZO, PVR etc should make one extra vigilant with respect to terrain and procedural IFR clearances.

Their data rates are much cheaper than the extortion rates we pay at home. Pick up a mobile hotspot (around $80 cdn).

Re: YYT CATIII
When LVP approach ban was discussed in the past the answer from company management (after presumably checking with airport operators) was that the ban was an airport limitation. If an aircraft were to land below RVR600 a taxi clearance could not be given (from a legal standpoint). That's how it was ...
