Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 - Missing

GFA validity period

How long is a GFA valid for? 6 hours or 12 hours? I was under the assumption that GFA's were valid for 12 hours. But I've been told due to the fact that the next GFA is issued 6 hours later it therefore invalidates all those previous GFA's? Both seem logical but which is most correct?

Not only land, but to takeoff afterwards (After everything was fixed of course).

Re: Confed College Flight Management

I'm currently at Sault College and really enjoying it. I think both schools are really good and it comes down to a matter of preferance. As for marks I don't think you'll have any problem getting into either if you can keep them in the high 70's to 80's. It you have any questions about the Sault fee...

Re: Ice Pilot AME drowns.

Big fan of the show and very sorry to hear about this. Only a handful of AME's that can still keep old birds like the DC-3 flying.

Re: Helicopter Accident - Nov. 23, 2011

Here's another view. It looks like he just got too low. Although the fact that the guy pulled on the wire at the same time seems suspicous. Maybe he was trying to pull it off? :smt102
