If this continues I can see a few operators locking up. Insurance has sky rocketed, and rates can only increase so much before it’s not economical to charter unless you are on government business.

Thanks, I guess I get to stay home.

My cat 1 expired, as it’s over six months, will I need a cat one medical or am I good to go?

I have pictures of the accident while in the water and after the recovery, it will never fly again.

I’ve hired pilot with one accidents before. You know they aren’t going to make the same mistake again. Also will become a safer pilot. Everyone makes a mistake. These pilots are now with WestJet, Air Canada, Transport Canada, etc.

Anyone have any info on WOK’s Norseman that had an accident?

I retire as soon as I could afford it, 56 years old and 37 years of accident free flying.

Duel engine failure. Landed short of the runway on the ice. Continued on hitting the rock berm and then stopped on the runway.

Duel engine failure, landed short of runway on the ice and hit the shoreline. Knocked the gear off and more.

King Air crashed in Gillam. All okay. Was a medi vac aircraft from Nunavut to Winnipeg.

As the ad said, pm for more info. And it’s not Casper. Hahaha

Vfr operating certificate for sale. Please send pm.

I have a vfr AOC for sale. Open to offers.

The last two commercial guys I trained had the worst hand/feet coordination that I’ve ever seen. Took them 40 hrs plus to get them ready for a vfr ppc. Worst part was they thought they they were awesome pilots. They couldn’t understand why I was not recommending them for the ride.

Anyone know what happened to the otter in the Baker Lake area?

Went to order a B train of avgas and was told they still are not delivering.

De icing is a joke. At the airport I work at calm air does the ground school, but no actual training on the use of the equipment. They have people off the street on the drive machine that don't have a clue about the effects of icing on aircraft. Fast air comes and goes with all types of ice on the w...

My concern is esso going to come good for the commercial operators who lost revenue?

What's going on with the avgas, I was told no avgas due to possible problems with the fuel.

I was using Navajo and king airs only in name as well. It's all smaller aircraft. Airport operators in Manitoba have some pretty scary stories with the DC-3 in the last six months as well.

I totally agree with you. I would not put my family in anyone that operates Navajo's or king airs. Same goes for most floatplanes. I've seen more runway incursions, sloppy radio work, planes touching down long on short snow covered runways, etc. I think it's only a matter of time. People are being p...

Condolences to the fine fellow that lost his life in the Aztec. RIP

Question should be does westwind have an adequate de ice unit along with the required lift to get to the height of the tail to de ice and inspect. It's pretty high up there and a regular ladder won't work.

Just curious as to what the smaller airlines are using in northern Saskatchewan, Manitoba and else where to de ice. I see calm air de ice at their remote airports stations whenever there is a trace of ice. Fast air comes and go's with all sorts of ice on the wings/ tail. Perimeter is the same, lots ...

Yes, inside info with people on the ground in fond do lac
