Handling pilot’s got some ‘splaining to do. Nothing in the other pilot’s voice on the radio to ATC hints at any issue at that time.

Located.

How does anything go missing these days? Wasn’t that whole ADS-B Capstone project rolled out in Alaska 25 years ago, what about those fancy 406 gps elt’s with the panel switch the pilot can flick on it things go pear shaped before ground impact. Everything I’ve flown up north in the last 10 years ha...

“ The heli had to either maintain its course or turn left to follow the instruction. Instead it turned right.” Helicopter flying over the river not above 200’ at night. He doesn’t really have the option to turn left, come over the shoreline with buildings and uncharted obstacles below 300’. All he c...

It is a question of perspective, military operation is guided by mission objective, civilian by safety of the travelling public. Imagine what the Blackhawk pilots were looking at: the lights of the CRJ already on the left side of the windshield and moving further left. You’d expect you’d be passing ...

In the bush it's Blundstones in summer and sorels in winter. Curious what you guys wear when you move up to something with 3 flight attendants. I see four bars with loafers at Tim's, but I know "somebody" walks around looking under the plane with a flashlight in the snow and blowing wind at -40 on a...

They upgraded the Pan to a Mayday - after they were stopped. I've thought of doing that on some of my crashes, always thought it was frivolous at that point.

Hasn't changed. Years ago I was conducting a TC PPC check at Toussaint Louverture International Airport and on the second IFR approach tower told me not to come below 3000'. I was all set to argue and be difficult but asked why instead. "Small arms fire". Right, so I instructed the crew to use 3000'...

Terrain wasn't like BC, it was flat, scrub vegetation. Low speed, low rate of closure impact.

All that experience and he put a serviceable aircraft in the dirt. I don't mourn, I despair. He had another serious accident in an E300 in 2017. You can see the same manoeuvre in a previous airshow last year by searching YouTube. Looked like he didn't pull as steep from his low line this time, tumbl...

Two pilots on a night takeoff..., "you only have to do one thing...". Like the S76 in Moosonee.

My guess is poor training, poor checking, poor operational control, low compliance with SOP.

I'd pull the OC.

Teaching a person how to fly is one thing, teaching them when to fly is a whole other element of flight training Done a bit of that, passing on the elements of go-no go. A subject sorely missed and not covered much in flight schools apart from a blanket "don't fly". Can't blame them, look at this e...

if the pitots were blocked the wouldn’t know how close they were to red bug Lots of CVR chatter about ice, you really think they would be so brain numb not to keep the pitot heats on? Also hard to believe they couldn't keep it above red bug, they could have dropped 10,000' without hitting anything....

Is it a Taylor Coot? Thought I saw one in Merritt a while ago, similar paint to the crash picture in the link.

How important is PIC time? Have an ATPL with minimum 1500 hrs. Just toil away with PICUS, or drop back onto 1900 for a couple years?

NTSB preliminary. To any Navajo drivers, what's with the pitch and roll instability? Is elevator trim an electric switch on the pilot's yoke? Any ECL for a runaway?

Was it another blade departure? 212's grounded by some operators and customers. Nothing from TC.

C'mon, let's talk about it. If we all waited 2 years nobody would post anything on this forum, except handwringing condolences. Look at the ADSB track. Full length of runway was used, normal acceleration and initial climb. What are the "numbers" on a Pa31 and how do they compare to ADSB data? If you...

The 407 tail finlets are upside down compared to a LongRanger for extra rotor clearance. Piece of the whacked finlet dented the tailrotor driveshaft but the blade did not flex down that far to hit the cover. I've only ever heard of that happening on full on autorotation gone bad and low rotor rpm(C-...

Tragic. Crashing a lightly loaded twin on takeoff, after getting to at least 800'. Lots of runway in Albany, long enough to where you could reject or safely climb out on one engine if necessary. Don't know her background or experience but an engine cut at a critical time is standard multi/type train...

Doubt any pilot wants to check out by screwing up a kindergarten maneuver. Happens to all ages, though he was exceptionally experienced and current. By the witness accounts and ADSB track it looked to me he had been practising aerobatic maneuvers (of the limited military style the T-34 is capable of...

Well, maybe I am an "armchair investigator". I read about crashes and wonder where the "system" failed. Weather was poor, so we only fly on CAVU days? TC keeps adding instrument time to licences, is that working? Nothing wrong with flying in weather, but you have to know when and how to turn around....

Anybody really think ICAO has it better figured out than Canada? I trained pilots from many different countries that already had a license. Zero difference to Canadian 100 hr. If anything the Canadian standard weeds out those without aptitude that will forever be a burden on their employer and the i...

Crash located. Sole occupant pilot deceased. Moving on to lessons learned. Confirm US registered 206.

Search on for a helicopter traveling Calgary -Sicamous, presumed to have crashed east of Revelstoke. Had modeS, can't see it in Flightradar. Single ELT ping near Roger's Pass, manually activated? Hope it wasn't yet one more without sat-tracking. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/missin...
