They have reported the FDr and CVR were recovered. I didn't think military aircraft had FDR and CVR's. Usually when I've read the odd report - they never mention these, admittedly They are mostly Hornet reports that I see. Do most military aircraft have these recorders? What about the high performa...

I met Captain Hagen once when he came to my office to visit his brother (who was a co-worker of mine). The two of them (and I think their sister as well) were all in the RCAF, and were a very close family. I'm sure they're reeling from this. Condolences to all the families involved. This is beyond ...

Edit:

Family is being told hard impact with the sea at night. No signs of the wreckage with the exception of a beacon which is designed to detach/jettison.

This hits too close to home.

That is accurate, One of the larger operators just laid off a significant number of people. I suspect they were not the only one.

In my younger years I "almost" killed myself in the same area (heavy and on a very hot day). Did a proper short field etc but was too stupid/complacent to do a density altitude check. Made it out by climbing out just above the power lines. Even if your looking for it the ground is very sneaky there...

So,

I've been out of the game for quite a few years. Is there no way to actually directly talk to a licensing officer now? (Without having to wait ~2days for an email or call back that is).

When did this become "a thing"?

Hey thanks Schteevie, Actually it was issues with the RB that originally got us going down this path! The FMX uses a spring tensioner on a moving shuttle to pass the L2"enhanced" FTD criteria. I know TC (and others) were/are having a lot of complaints about their specific implementation. I think the...

Hey all, I don't imagine there are too many people on here who do the home flight sim thing, but thought it prudent to push this here nevertheless. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/irisdynamics/affordable-force-feedback-flight-sim-control-yoke The team I’m with has been working on this little giz...

You may also want to look into a student visa to get the ball rolling... Once you are in and licensed there is/was a program (no clue what it was called) where if you then found a job in what you went to school for you would get a guaranteed work visa... That being said finances need to be in order ...

While you are demmoing your exercises ALWAYS be sure you have students attention. On my 4 the examiner had his nose out the window looking around while I was explaining something... Had to tell him to pay attention etc... If I hadn't noticed and said something it would have gone less well.. Also whe...

Does anyone have a rough Idea what they are looking for Re: (Dash/737)?

Hi all, Iv been out of the aviation game for a few years but considering throwing my hat back into the ring. I have ~1400 hrs (mostly PIC, with ~70 multi pic). But at the same time for the past 4 years I have been very involved with electronics industry, specifically design, prototyping, and trouble...

Unless you have an amazing idea that no one has implemented before AND you have outstanding sense for business (in which case why are you getting into the FTU business) AND you have a few hundred thousand dollars of dispo...

Once again I hate to add to the broken fiddle sound, and I am NOT trying to say anything discouraging about any school, however.... Ask yourself where you want to be in 2-4 years time. If its flying Heavy Metal that's ONLY going to happen if you get lucky and make it into a cadet program like Cathay...

A+P=P

so here's a quick question for people to ask themselves.... What type of tv show did you just watch? Was it news? Was is political commentary? Was it entertainment? was it political spin? Contrary to what Fox North and that website may be portraying. Give me 20 minutes, google and the promise for a ...

LIES!!!!! The TEA POT IS THE ONLY DEITY!


ALL PRAISE THE TEA POT!!!!!!!!

Depending on your financial situation, and depending on what you eventually want to do with your license you should at the very least investigate the option of AC ownership. the operating costs for a private machine will be less than those of a commercially operated training aircraft, you will have ...

Just a quick poll if in a training environment would it be better to have an old school sweeping hand clock vs the newer Devtron style digital units?
(panel mounted not watches)

Well this is probably a clear example of TC bureaucracy then. I can't seem to find a copy of said doc online at the moment it says (Manual under revision not publicated yet) I am NOT an AP, and have no desire to delve into that *hit storm of paperwork. Moral of the story kids: 1) It may or may not b...
