If TC Cabin safety doesn't approve the extension and there hasn't been a global exemption then on April 1, 2020 the applicable people are expired. If Swoop had the ability to provide the training online then they could use that option as long as it was approved. The cops had no right as the "essenti...

Whoopty do....I'm going to go out and give an opinion of reason here. This does NOTHING for the airline itself, and it only put a bigger financial burden on the federal coffers in the end. I'd rather see the government give a check to the businesses themselves....or grants....or loans....or whateve...

Transport is already working on the detail sand will have more out shortly. They (POI) can already give extensions on a case by case basis using the existing regs.

A 2 year PPC isn't an option for 703. TC killed that. For 704 Ops you need to do "training in lieu" at 12 months.

Climbing in vertical speed mode. Should have used flight level change which would have held an airspeed or Mach. They got up to 410 on momentum, and were stuck on the back side of the power curve that the engines alone had no way of accelerating out of. The plane stalled, and was stalled repeatedly...

Skyregional cancelled gs last minute and I know of at least one pilot that is out of work because had already resigned and had left the property.

Off the side, barely outside the lights, couldn’t have been going very fast. “Crash” is a big overstatement. They towed it out of the snowbank once they had a towbar I’ve been told. Runway was closed for 3 hrs.

Passenger released from hospital a couple hrs later, got a few stitches I heard.

Type 4 approval (like a Dash 8, 1900, ATR) would be nice but please where up north is Type 4 even available????? Ummmmm. Nowhere :roll: Good luck getting a truck up north that can do it and maintain the quality and environmental control needed for Type 4 fluid but you knew that right? The sampling (...

They're up to 8-10 Dash 8's now so evolution is happening. There has been a 19 seat airplane built in 15 years and nothing pressurized is on the radar. A fast twin otter by Cessna built for fedex 1st and people 2nd (sounds like the caravan) is all there is coming down the pipe and it's using 80's er...

He clearly wasn't an optimist if thought he'd be there long enough to plow the land, grow enough wheat to make flour and make cookies

Nope, no back up requirement, just like the steam airplane. The peanut gyro needs to last 30 minutes in ideal conditions. Ie not Canada many months. The G1000 issue with the B200 happens with 3 blades props only in a very small 50 rpm prop range that is easily avoided. Freak harmonics that mess up t...

Careful what you ask for. I know where I work the bond doesn’t cover the total cost anymore as it hasn’t been updated in a long time. They’d gladly take actual costs incurred. A credible company have a lawyer review it. Every business and airlines has a legal contact. It’s a part of life. Whether th...

The LPV is going to put you high by it’s design because the glide path is aimed for 1000’ down the runway. Any variations or deviation on the approach will make it worse. I’m guessing the approach was less than stellar, then broke it off to circle/maneuver (whatever you feel like calling it) to the ...

Last time I checked YKF has a runway long enough for a Westwind.

They are just looking for an excise tp buy a new aircraft. They have been for a while pushing for a couple of used 604's. We've made similar aircraft ADS-B compliant recently and it's not that expensive. WAAS, etc is another upgrade but again some of this is likely required on 604's as many have bee...

Technically Georgian is the longest Air Canada Connector because Jazz was created in approx 2003 and it's predecessors were fully owned by Air Canada hence technically not a "connector". Georgian originally was a 19 seat feeder for Canadian Airlines in the 90's. Like everything else about Georgian i...

Any truth to the story that someone pulled back the condition levers (red handles) instead the of the props after takeoff. Apparently the condition levers are bent and embedded in the front of the pedestal by the PIC when they realized what had just happened....

Keewatin doesn't anymore.

Use the TC registry

Or dig the floats in. Ie nose down but careful not to flip it

95% of the medevac flying in MB is already done by the private industry. The only reason the industry isn't doing Code 4 is because they aren't permitted to carry the extra drugs or use the extra equipment even if its installed. Other provinces permit allow all the Code 4 equipment onboard a King Air.

ALPA is pretty anal and they recommended only classroom. No Sim required.

From what I see on a googled King Air 200 MEL you don't need 2 working attitude indicators unless a second in command is required. No offense to King Air first officers but I don't they are required. Correct me if I'm wrong. You can MEL the Copilot's AI if you have a functioning autopilot because t...

Doc just wants to blame people. That being said, it does take some skill to either have a dual engine failure or run out of fuel in a twin turbine. I can think of a couple instances, but it's pretty rare. I'm willing to bet that the combined experience in the cockpit totals less than the average of...

AFAIK Amik and Sowind share the same management.

There's been more than a couple of aircraft bounce off the ice on Family lake on the approach to 36 in ZGR in the winter.

That prop really doesn't look like it was producing power. Even Pratt's mangle the prop when they hit something abruptly

You can blame operators all you want but that certainly doesn't explain the large number of CFIT accidents by private pilots in personal aircraft. It's pretty clear that pilots will push weather even if they don't have a boss pushing them. They do it all by themselves....... Pressure is just as ofte...
