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.

The NTSB released their preliminary report today: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA26MA024.aspx https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/PublishingImages/Image%20DCA26MA024.png On Nov 20th 2025 the NTSB released their preliminary report stating, that during the rotation for takeoff the pylon ...

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...

The iPad Mini, while a lovely "handheld" size is both expensive and somewhat underwhelming in performance. For less money, you can get a full sized iPad, with a better chipset and the attendant increase in performance. For some reason, Apple has decided to make consumers pay a premium for a smaller ...

No one can genuinely recommend the right headset for anyone, as it ends up being very dependant on personal preferences. What your daughter needs to do is try on as large a variety of headsets as possible, and find the best fit for her. Asking random people on the internet for the best headset is on...

According to the updated article four passengers were found deceased at the scene. The 20 year old pilot was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

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.... It's probably a holdover account from the COVID subform. They're lost souls now, drifting aimlessly on a forum that no longer provides t...

As I stated earlier, the Conservatives government brought in the Free Trade agreement that is saving our economy today. The Liberals(and I would guess the NDP) opposed this. Thank the conservatives for this and your quite possibly your career/standard of living. If it were not for the free trade ag...

No, I mean Free Trade. John Turner and the liberals claimed that the conservatives had sold us out. You can watch the liberal fool argument right here(and thank the conservatives for saving the economy all these years later). And guess what?....it was actually the liberals who agreed to NAFTA and b...

Even better, are you paid less sleeping in the bunk? Explain me how sleeping is “managing fatigue” deserves more to be paid than someone doing security checks. ? The crux of the argument seems to revolve around the "unskilled labour" as well as "lack of education" required as a prerequisite. But, t...

Quick reminder to people.....that free trade agreement that is saving our economy right now from catastrophe......the liberals ran an entire election opposing it. Thank your lucky stars about good conservative policies. I assume you mean NAFTA. It's funny how selective a person's memory can be when...

As for the previous 10 years of PP, he was a minister in a government that had a much lower crime rate and he voted to approve the natural resource projects that are saving Canada's economic life during our current economic war with the US. That is a hell of a lot. Economic war with the US? Hold on...

Not sure if something gave way or if it was a poorly tied rope. It's a PT-6'd Turbo Otter, why anyone would start it out of BETA or feather is beyond me... for this exact f'ing reason. There's also reverse, for situations in which you've begun moving forward when you don't want to be, but I suspect...

Headsets are like watches, shoes, or jock straps... you gotta try them yourself and find what works for you. Who cares what anyone else thinks? That, and every company claims their headset is the best, or the more innovative, etc. Try and find a retailer that has a variety of options, or ask around ...

Looks like major trouble is a brewin' over this contract. With serious allegations about a major conflict of interest, this one is going to get very messy - and costly for taxpayers. Summit’s June 2023 procurement complaints were rejected, but then referred by PHSA to a review committee. Last Novemb...

I think it is settled that the first officer was PF. I would like to know when normal went to abnormal in the crew conversation. [snipped] From AvHerald's excerpt of the preliminary report from the AAIB: As per the EAFR data, the aircraft crossed the take-off decision speed V1 and achieved 153 kts ...

Yes, there is lots of description of the switch positions in the report. That's not my point. There is no indication anywhere that the accident aircraft switches were checked for proper function. Particularly the possibility of a problem with the lock out gate. So what, this crash was the 1-in-1,00...
