Does anyone know how much experience this pilot had? Was it his first winter as pic?

All this space and moon stuff was neat, but the moon is dead! Now that they found that out, they should instead now spend taxpayers money on better things, like homelessness and aids research.

Curious about how things are at WCA since WCA was purchased? Can anyone update?

Ego? Ego for what??

Pilots = Heavy Equipment Operators.

Period.

To impress women (Boy, was I wrong!!!)

I struggle with the concept that if someone sues to recover a substantial loss .... likely many tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, that they are suddenly guilty of committing a cash grab, driven by greed, abetted by opportunity. I return to the question for those of you th...

Who cares how they came up with the formula? Just use the numbers in the chart, and be done. Waste of ink, all that other crap.

A highly experienced pro pilot should be fine for insurance.

Why does the AIM have section 9.17.1 explaining how the "Altitude Correction Chart" was calculated with that wild formula for calculating cold temp corrections? Did David Phillips write this part?

Anyone?

Tragic loss - condolences to the families and friends.

Air Canada planes collide on runway

Must the press exaggerate all the time?

Probably not intentional - most reporters wouldnt know a runway from a taxiway from a wheelbarrow!

Remember the classy way Harmony shut down? They gave a months advance notice of a hard date, allowing people tp plan accordingly and not get screwed. That's the proper way to conduct business.

Too bad Zoom, Jetsgo etc. try to milk it out until the creditors shut 'em down, leaving pax screwed.

In simple terms, if you get tripped playing hockey, and you then whack the guy who tripped you over the head with your stick, guess who gets the bigger penalty...

Cat head fakes him with the dipstick, the idiot goes for it, so a kuckle sandwich to the chops, uppercut, and a flurry to the solar plexus..............

Jeez, ease off people.

How about reading what happened, (use Google translate if need be), and see if perhaps there's anything can can be leaned from this accident.

A psych. eval. is not to try and determine if you're mentally ill, it's to try and see if you are the kind of person who fits their 'profile' of what they want an AC pilot to be like. CORRECT - it gives AC the ability to weed out 'non-preferred' demographics, and thus hire more women and visible mi...

Enough about quotes.

Getting back to the blade hours, the blade failed after 1991 hours in an engine that they should have been fine in for 3600 hours.

I think that brings into question the SE IFR reliability issue.

It does not matter how well built an engine is if it is operated outside of manufactures written recomendations.If it is operated outside of the TC approved maintenanace programmes. The data is missing for a reason ,that reason is probably the main cause of the failure . The airplane had more than ...

Sonicblue Airways was not providing downloaded engine parameter data for engine condition trend monitoring (ECTM) evaluation at appropriate intervals. A small but significant quote from the report .If they are not doing what is required to satisfy the engine TBO extension. Then the aircraft is not ...
