It always seems to happen when conducting a visual approach. Here's another AC incident on a visual approach into Kelowna.

Hopefully we can all learn from it!!!

Benefits of Micro VGs
Gross Weight Increase 129 lbs
FAA Certified Numbers
Reduced Vmc, Vs, Vso
Easy One Day Installation
Improved Characteristics

-129lbs is maybe two typical fishing gear bags.

6 men and probably typical fly in camp fishing gear.....probably would have been on the heavy side.

Welcome to the world of Transport Canada!!!

Wow!! Max Ward, a Canadian aviation pioneer, is still with us! Amazing! I would love to meet this guy sometime, he would have some interesting stories to tell.

I like the helicopter accident, above the C205 accident, it experienced a "a severe snowball effect"........

I understand that a heated leading edge has to be hot enough to vaporize the moisture or water droplets. If the wing isn't hot enough you will run into a "run back" condition, where the moisture will simply run back and freeze.

Here in the states I was getting my Class 1 medical for $50 and it lasted for two years, couldn't be a flag carrier captain after 6 months. In Canada the same medical, cat 1 - over 40, and time frame was costing over $600....... Hmmm. Yes but you have "free" medical coverage.

All you have to do is "Smile and nod along, just smile and nod along...."

I've always said..."to succeed in aviation it is simply the one who can live on puffed wheat the longest".

I've got a Limited company along with a 702 operating certificate for sale!! The 702 certificate could be changed into a 703 with a few amendments. PM me if interested.

Wasn't there a similar icing encounter a few years ago in BC? Between Cranbrook and Kelowna a B200 cooked both engines because of icing and trying to maintain MOCA.

Thats a pretty typical day for that area, and it isn't even the windiest place in Canada.

Looking at doing something different this summer. Needing the names of some fishing lodges that have their own aircraft on wheels that fly their own guests in and out of the lodge. Thx

I have to agree with RainX, works great. After you have a clean and dry windscreen apply the RainX, then all you need is a squirt bottle with a couple drops of dish soap and water. Spray it on and the bugs wipe right off with a soft cloth. Reminds me of that snag list…."dead bugs on windshield - liv...

Best bet……a jet with heated wings and climbs at 3,000'/min or better, if you can do it.

If you are gonna get a 421 you might as well get a turbine. At least it will not be in the hangar undergoing maintenance. 421's are an AME's retirement plan. They are poor performers, burn lots of gas, slow, runway lovers. Low TBO and expensive when it comes to overhaul. They are nice and quiet in f...

This isn't the first time I have heard of a jug departing….. I think it's the 3rd!!

What are the different acronyms people using when they are flying?
Example: GUMPS - Prior to landing - Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Props, Switches

Hey I am doing the same thing!! Except I've got a 1975 C150M project with only 660hrs ttsn along with a 1976 C150M parts donor. Make 1 out of two!! PM me if anybody interested.
