So what are the thoughts on the Kodiak vs the Caravan for float ops?

It's really not difficult to interpret.[/quote] That's the funny thing about interpretations... they are open to interpretation. There is a very large part of our society that generates an extremely large amount of revenue by interpreting things, can you guess what that may be? Why the legal system ...

My understanding is also that if you are going to a mutual destination fuel costs may be covered by the passenger for their portion.
Is this correct?

Very well presented. You have presented Facts, no mater your opinion, the facts are the Facts.

You're right regarding the giving up of our rights and freedoms, look how it screwed us with the whole gender equality...... lol (not enough responses on this post, this line should do it lol)

The Utva 66 with its 9' prop was the loudest single engine airplane I've ever heard, it was significantly louder than a 185 with the 88" seaplane prop. It was one hell of a float plane too but some goof back east put little floats on it and sunk it, TC said no more and we ended up selling. We had th...

Thank you very much for the comments and valuable advice. It is true, you can never be to careful with all the TC employees lurking on this site ready to pounce on private pilots that are not capable of flying their aircraft safely should they receive remuneration of any type. This of course would b...

I'm working on a large project in Acheson just west of Edmonton and I was hoping I could buy one of you guys a bottle/fuel or something of your liking, to take me up so I could get some pictures for our web site.
Please PM me if you can help me out.
Thanks!!

Anymore things you are curious about, if so just ask and I will do my best to give you an answer. . ..[/quote] Had I known that you are Cat Driver I wouldn't have asked (in such a way), My apologies, I just read the thread on the other forum. From what I have read, you have more knowledge in aviatio...

How does this course differ from the others, and the ones with very good reputations such as Air-Heart in Kelowna BC?
Just curious as to what you offer that puts you above the "cookie cutters" as you say...

Not at FL either but i do believe so.......errrrrrrrrrr I mean no, it was probably just indigestion......

Interesting to see the couple of posters that seem to have been here forever yet joined last year and have 9 and 14 posts lol. Maybe we will see the resurgence of the Colonel!!!!!

Could you explain why you disagree so strongly?

Interesting to see who is lurking in the depths of AVCANADA, bit of a reminder that TC is probably monitoring these forums constantly and knows who you are, no more posts of external loads, boys and girls! The last one asking people to post was probably TC! A touch paranoid perhaps? I highly doubt ...

I know a ton of guys who have tattoos, full sleeves, half sleeves, full back, fore arms etc, all whom work for major airlines......AC, WJ, Cathay, Qatar, Jet Airways, etc.I can come up with almost 10 people off the top of my head right now. This being said, I know that Emirates turned down a guy I ...

I'll open my statement with the same one I opened with last time, These opinions sound like someone who has given up and is completely disillusioned with their profession. This is not meant to be insulting at all, in fact the opposite, and perhaps I wasn't clear in my prior post as re reading it it ...

Typical out of control cops abusing their power. Saying that they want to press criminal charges is laughable yet scary at the same time because these cops actually believe their propaganda. Was it stupid to do? Yes absolutely, you know cops will overreact nowadays, but i guess its his right to push...

Hey PilotDAR , I think getting persnickety about "professional appearance" in this day and age is like shutting the barn door after the horse done runnoft. The passengers might still care about it, but pilots themselves sure as hell don't. If you give the average pilot the choice of what to wear to...

I have the outline of the Avro Arrow on my right forearm, more often it's sparked conversation instead of discrimination. I have the Canadian flag on my right bicep, I wouldn't want to work for someone who looked down at that. My others are on my back where no employer or client would ever see so i...

I have to agree with B-Rad, Sorry Cat I usually agree with you, although i do agree on the risk part somewhat. Two totally different situations landing and skimming unless you are skimming to land like is sometimes done. would I do it? nope, I don't like wheels at all myself, I like my straight floa...

I am actually blown away that so few have seen this maneuver before. This is nothing new, and as one of the posts says just look it up on youtube. Cub drivers is a great place to start. This maneuver is sometimes used in the bush when landing on gravel bars, beaches etc, it can extend your runway. I...
