Weather will be number one; then CFIT. See page four of the Aviation Safety Letter 1/2018 https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-publications/Aviation-Safety-Letter-1-2018-eng.pdf The numbers above are from the TC Aviation Safety letter 1 of 2018. I miss remembered the order but I think it is very...

http://www.nar-associates.com/technical-flying/impossible/impossible_wide_screen.pdf I think this is a good example of what should be vs what is What should be: Every pilot can very quickly react to a engine failure and then maintain a coordinated steep turn at a low airspeed What is: Many pilots t...

incidentally hitting a house is very rarely fatal as the aircraft doesn't stop instantly, it has some small distance to decelerate which greatly reduces crash forces. In this scenario, it’s not the people in the aircraft I’m concerned about. If you want to fly a piston single over a built up area, ...

From level turn thread Further investigation showed that the factory swivel connection at the fuel valve had been replaced by a homemade part sometime in the aircraft's history. The valve had become stiff, as they do with age, and this bogus fitting had bent. The bending, combined with the stiffness...

I have to say my spiny senses really started tingling when I saw this I was able to maintain about 300 feet and minimum flying speed with the engine alternately surging and quitting. 300 ft AGL with just enough power to maintain "minimum flying speed" and the pilot executes an approximately 225 deg ...

I pushed the throttle to full power and began the takeoff roll, and it all was so darned normal until I got airborne. The engine began to miss, cough, catch, sputter, et cetera, and we weren't climbing. If this has ever happened to you, you know it is not a good thing. I was able to maintain about ...

The C172M has the E2D model installed and the POH states that the minimum oil level is 5 qts Personally I would not fly this engine with less than this amount of oil. I have found that all engines are a little different with how much oil they like before they started just puking it out the breather,...

Out of spin aileron (ie right aileron in a left spin) will increase the speed of departure into the spin, spin rotation rate and may destabilize the spin. As a general rule it should never be used in general flight training and a major component of spin training should be to get students to resist t...

ADF with fixed card is the "over there" Instrument. Where is the station ? Its over there where the needle is pointing. Now you have to ask your self "where is the aircraft pointing" The difference is the relative bearing. The good news is pretty soon the ADF will be relegated to the same fate as th...

TC will accept an electronic PTR as long as it is in the correct format and appropriately signed of by the student and CFI or delegate. The PTR belongs to the student and not to the school. Completing the PTR is a CAR's requirement for the instructor and the school so the best thing to do in these s...

Bede I think to paint a complete picture you have to include the engine overhaul costs because the aircraft will not be worth $ 27,000 more now that you have done the engine. Realistically you would get maybe 1/3 of you money back if you sold it today. So the delta of $ 18,000 needs to be counted ag...

Our SOPs are for PF to initiate power, PM to set it. PF keeps hands on power levers until V1, then removes them. PM sets climb power after 400 feet upon which power levers become PFs responsibility. There’s no requirement to have your hands on the power levers after 400 feet. I’ve had a few engines...

I would suggest the reason you don't take off with contaminated wings is not because "Transport might be on board" it is because there is no safe amount of contamination and there are sadly many examples of smoking holes due to this fact. If in doubt about the state of critical surfaces, them there...

Well, if they come lookin' to lure me out of retirement, I'm putting my foot down! Signing bonus, minimum $150000/yr plus allowances, 30 days (working days) holidays, and only work between ten and two with an hour off at noon for lunch and a nap... :smt040 Air Force pilot OJPR: " Can without benefi...

The Aerostar has a very simple fuel system. The 2 wet wing tanks gravity drain into a fuselage center tank which feeds both engines. The only way to get into trouble in this airplane is double cross feed the wing tanks which is prohibited and really dumb.

[q uote=co-joe post_id=1097540 time=1575836696 user_id=53] I believe this crash is the main reason 703 and 704 ops have to use the ridiculous segmented weights formula based on the number of seats on the aircraft type certificate and the ratio of females to males instead of the standard weights used...

To the OP How much PIC time do you have now ? If it is not enough to get your ATPL how are you going to get it as a lawn dart FO ? Yes 704 operators are hiring brand new CPL/MEIFR pilots straight to the 1900 however alot of those guys and gals are not making it through the training. If you do decide...

That is correct, but not meeting the min. climb rate at 3600 lbs after a balked landing was due to the slow flap retraction speed from flaps 40. Because of the pressure to complete the program back in 1977 the max flap setting was reduced to 30 and the MTOW was reduced to 3500lbs. But today you can...

So can we reach a consensus on the following: "Uhhh... aaaaand.... C-GABC with you, now currently showing about approximately 3.43 miles east of Sumspot at this time, conflicting traffic please advise..." I am disappointed in my fellow instructors here :oops: Let me help you with some corrections "...
