Re: The Dreaded Flight 852 (First Air)

Have to love the pics in the story.

If that is what an ATR looks like up front, I guess Beech now makes them.
Looks like Air Tindi's 1900.

Re: Child Seats for Aircraft

I am not sure what your question was exactly, but If the company has room on the plane beside you, you can use a regular car seat (as long as it is airline approved) or depending on the size of your child you can go with this http://www.kidsflysafe.com/ It seems to be getting great reviews and you d...

Re: Children

Another one is to try and have a bottle or a soother for them.

This will keep them sucking and reduce the pressure in there ears (it is just like chewing gum for the little ones).

I heard of a crash awhile back and the only survivor was the baby that was in its normal car seat.

Hope that helps.

Re: student pilot, engine failure, CYOS.

The best part of that airport, is the highway that runs right by it.

If he couldn't have made the strip, the highway is nice and straight. It does have some hills though.

Re: conversion from CPL to FAA???

Try this:

I know a couple people that have used this with no problems on the exam.

The thing is that once you have gone through a section and it is closed. You CANNOT re-open it.

Baker is the Geographical center of Canada and they have a sign beside the inukshuk just south of the airport. If coming from town go just past the airport and you will find it. Fishing at night is usually good. Make sure you get a license or get a fine. Not a whole lot to do otherwise. Gas was 2.60...

It was dropped back into the bay when the helicopter got into forward flight. Supposedly the T.O. started to fly under the helicopter. They then put nets over the wings to disturb the airflow before lifting it again.
It happened right of off the Tindi point, but closer to Jollif island.
