Clearly a case of too much aeroplane, for a low skilled and barely competent pilot. But, the drug cocktail in her system was wild and clearly impairing. This is why regulators the world over are trying to crack down on non-reporting and are so difficult to deal with when it comes to medication use. ...

It's a new spin on an existing program, that already prioritized (via a points system) highly skilled immigrants/workers. This is by no means a fancy new program that seeks to replace Canadian-born workers with immigrants, but it's definitely a bugbear for people who can't be bothered to read deeper...

According to TC, as long as you are below 140/90 you should be okay. But, if you start approaching that criteria on either the systolic or diastolic side you can expect some tut tutting... https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/publications/handbook-civil-aviation-medical-examiners-tp-13312#cardiovascular...

There are a reported 6 G600/650s registered in Canada. So yeah, there is a market. From a search of the TC aircraft registry, this is all that appears when searching manufacturer Gulfstream: C-GHNS - Gulfstream G100 C-FOOX - IAI Astra SPX (G100) C-FRJZ - IAI Astra SPX (G100) C-FYLD - IAI Astra SPX ...

I'm a part of a gliding club and they're offering me a tow pilot position if I can get my tailwheel training. I understand it's not a formal thing in Canada but they need it for insurance and I want it because I wouldn't feel comfortable flying taildraggers right off the bat. Just looking for 5 or ...

10 hours dual is/was a fairly standard insurance requirement for tailwheel training. Bump out a solo circuit session, and off you go on your conventional landing gear journey. Being that it's not a formal rating in Transport-land, maybe you can find someone to show you the ropes in a privately owned...

https://skiesmag.com/news/bombardier-responds-to-trump-tariff-threat-aircraft-decertification-claims/ In 2011, Gulfstream acknowledged Transport Canada had authorized the G500 business jet to fly at its maximum certified altitude, along with the G550, the G450 and G350. The G500 and G550 were alread...

It's likely "only" libel or slander, as noted by digits_, but it could have the same effect in that it could derail your career. The odds of it rising to the level of becoming a charge-worthy offence is a whole other matter, though. Engage a lawyer immediately, and I certainly hope you printed and o...

DHC-1 Jockey, out of curiosity then, once it becomes mandatory to read back things like ATIS identifiers, or hold-short instructions (which were already required... but not "mandatory") will ATC then begin filing CADORS reports on pilots who do not? I mean, if it's a violation of CARS subpart 602, t...

So why is telling ATC the ident letter for the ATIS you have a bad idea ? It's not a bad idea, it's just silly to make it mandatory when it accomplishes little to nothing. As noted in the circular most pilots already relay that identifier to ATC on initial contact... only to be provided with update...

It's going to be so helpful when flying into airports where ATC hasn't updated the ATIS since first light, to repeat the altimeter setting and active runway... only to be informed that neither is current - but they're about to change the ATIS.

Unfortunately though, the forum software is rather old and janky. It also seems to regularly crap out for an hour or so.

As previously posted the Seneca III single-engine balked landing procedure says flaps UP. But, the two-engine balked landing says flaps retract slowly.. Sigh. What does "slowly" mean. Another massively unhelpful Piper POH :roll: That being said if the flight test airplane was a Seneca 1 (4200 lbs M...

As a generalization an explanation that references procedures for another airplane particularly a more complex one will generally be unpersuasive. I am evaluating their performance flying the test airplane and only the test airplane. My personal experience for this class of airplanes is that follow...

I checked the POH for the Seneca 2, Seminole, and Duchess and all specify "flaps up" for the single engine go around. Therefore I think not fully raising the flaps is a major error and a mark of 2 is appropriate, if it were one of these types. The Secena III also says under the Amplified Emergency ...

Actually my experience translates best to MEDEVAC ops (lots of IFR and NVG), but those are also generally based in some less than awesome spots. I’m keeping it open as an option, but it’s not my first choice. I’m still young enough to make the change if I act in the next year or two. How about a co...

Every one of his posts are like this. I don't really understand the point of actually taking time out of your day to do it, but to each their own. Just ignore....
