Re: Low Oil Pressure - Other Guages Normal
A U206G POH that Google found has no low oil pressure checklist, but has the attached expanded procedure which continues to say if there is a total oil pressure loss and oil temperature also rises to make a forced landing with minimal engine power as an engine failure is likely imminent.

Wings Over Kississing
I see another couple Turbo Otter pilot ads up from Wings Over Kississing - I think both ads have been posted previously this year. They are not asking for too much experience and the one ad, that I think I have seen three times, is rotational at "(o)ne of the finest lodges in all of Canada" with no ...

Re: Where in Canada can you get an ICAO English assessment?
If you need to show English proficiency, then note that your license sticker shows LP: EN. I have heard from friends that some countries refuse to accept TC language proficiency in the ADB because it does not follow the ICAO proficiency levels (1 to 6). They also will not accept the FAA's view (as ...

Re: Which European airline would you join if Canada joins the European Union?
KLM is/was recruiting foreigners earlier this year - pretty long thread at PPRuNe about it. I read it earlier in the year, but forget if they helped with license conversion or if you needed to do that first. It sounds like a pretty good deal. Entry pay based on age when joining.

Re: Midair at DCA
The helicopter was hundreds of feet off altitude If it was hundreds of feet off altitude there would have been no collision...since the helicopter was supposed to be at 200' and the last data point from the CRJ was 350' ie less than 'hundreds of feet'. I saw an article today that had the tracks fro...

Re: Blackhawks on civilian registry
I see four commercially registered UH-60As on the registry (one since 2022), so it seems like it is not a problem registering them? If the RCMP are leasing them from the operator with two registered to them, perhaps it was straight forward?

Re: Renewal ADBs Coming Out - Check Them Carefully
I disagree. Far better to have a piece of paper that only gets replaced when there are changes to it. A side benefit is less work for TC. I am still a big fan of the FAA pilot certificates. Easy to carry, no expiry, and more durable. No real need for it to be photo ID. If they really want a photo wi...

Re: Lost radio ticket
You need to contact Industry Canada (I assume why it is not in the TC ADB...). I forget if they had a webpage or if it just took an email to get a replacement sent. No cost around fifteen years ago.

Re: Multiple High Speed RTO's Are a Bad Idea
You can do a few tests before pumping it in a plane, but unless you travel with a chem lab, at some point you have to put it in a plane and see if it works. Kind of the point. You do some basic checks (water/dirt/debris/colour/clarity/smell) and accept it is correct and usable or not. I have never ...

Re: Multiple High Speed RTO's Are a Bad Idea
Look for water/dirt/barrel liner flakes before putting the pump in. Use a filter.
Why would one need to evaluate engine performance after fueling from drums of AVGAS?
If it was suspect would it not be better to figure out if it is good or not prior to putting it in the plane?

Constant wear life jackets interference with seat belts
Just something to keep in mind when flying floatplanes. ATSB found many tourism operators' ground crew (who were responsible for boarding passengers and fitting seat belts) did not know about proper seat belt placement and how constant wear life jackets can interfere. They do not say how to get arou...
