For just about everything in piloting has a procedure, sometimes a few procedures for the same operation, pick the one you like, but procedures, none the less. Aside from some avionics innovations, I can't really think of a need for a new procedure in flying a certified GA plane - it's been done be...

The last time I re-arranged my life for a wedding they divorced after 3 months

What did you do?

No, but that is hard to compare. Only 2 pilots vs a bunch of pax. Even if they were wearing no seatbelts, chances are they wouldn't have been hurt.

Faulty parallelism fallacy. Your equate: no seatbelt at all = no shoulder harness. You have no argument. The law is clear, and pilots use there judgment. I guarantee that the pilots on that flight didn't have their shoulder harness on and weren't injured. No I am claiming that both pax and pilots d...

Guys can wear their harness however they like in accordance with SOP/regulation and their judgement/prerogatives. 'Cause there are no overhead bins in the cockpit to hit with your head! I can't imagine not wanting to be strapped into the plane, unless there were a need to be out of my seat. Hmmm bu...

Right. Yet the shoulder harnesses in the flight deck apparently are and even give you bad posture?

Wouldn't you agree both arguments sound a bit ... similar?

Why are we talking about the pilots? Everyone unlatched their shoulder belts above 10k unless it’s definitely going to be gnarly. Aha, thank you! I'm assuming that the other posters would do the same. Pilots don't wear their shoulder harness unless it is definitely going to be gnarly. Pax don't wea...

But, the shoulder harness does nothing to keep you safe unless you're decelerating. It then holds your upper torso from tilting forward and prevents hitting your head on the glareshield, like a shoulder belt of a car helps when you have a head on collision. The lap belt is what keeps you in the sea...

... and do you lock down your harness? Not sure what you mean exactly, but I wear my seatbelts/harness the same way at every time in the flight, whether I'm on short final or in cruise. How about you answer my question now? Curious: you are flying at FL320. There is moderate and severe turbulence f...

I fly with pilots that routinely unhook their shoulder harnesses for whatever perceived advantage. I don't get that either. It's just more comfortable, and as mentioned there isn't a safety advantage. Curious: you are flying at FL320. There is moderate and severe turbulence forecasted in the area. ...

How come on every 5 point harness, there is a latch you can press to just unbuckle the shoulder harnesses?

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but mine don't have that anyways. It's all or nothing, yet people still mess around and untighten just the 2 shoulder ones.

The idea is not that you would use the knife to carsh your airplane, but that you would give the knife to another passenger on another flight so they can attempt to hijack the flight.

But it's still ridiculous. If you can do it with a butter knife, you can do it without a butter knife as well

Seems to be a beaver: The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has confirmed to SooToday that there has been a plane crash in Hawk-Junction, Ont. just outside of Wawa. The plane was a de Haviland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. TSB has stated that they are deploying investigators, who will arrive on the...

Never been asked for mine. Then again with airlines nowadays you never know.

I got one on the way to an interview once. Then I asked the cop if I could answer the phone as the interviewer was calling me to tell me he was running late. Good times...

WHY go to the moon again and WHY go to Mars? We have enough problems on this here little planet to overcome !

If you have to ask, you'll never understand.

I like the gofund me idea but forget Kim jong.
I say digits and I go and live stream it on the internet. He's been to the north pole, let's do this!

I have a great gag planned for when we return through the van allen belt.

Do you think we can do it in a 172?

And don't forget, if you bring liquids through security -in uniform-, they have to be hidden from the passengers. That was news to me! Only at certain airports. This is not a Transport Canada rule but rather a rule invented by a security clown-in-charge at one airport and copied by others. YYJ, YEG...

In theory what you say makes sense, but do people get taxed if they park their car for free on their employer's property? As far as I know they don't. So either the rules aren't applied properly, or the rule isn't fair. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/payroll/...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that's not what the law says. Thirty million other Canadians don't get the opportunity for a tax break on their parking (or other forms of transport to work) if their employer provides it to them, and the court decided there were no special circumstances i...

It is disgusting because you should have the right to park at your workplace when your car is the only viable means to get to work. If your employer decides to pay for that because he is based in an expensive part of town, the employee shouldn't be taxed on it. The employee doesn't have a realistic ...

Disgusting.

Well...technically you are only proving that there is no record of you having been convicted of molesting a child (or similarly serious offense).

Exactly, you have to prove you are a very good one, that you haven't been caught yet
