Re: Weather stops at the US/Canada border

Interestingly NOAA and the UK Met office publishes aviation weather forecast charts for wide swaths of the Earth. It might have nothing to do with that but both WAFC London (UK Metoffice) and WAFC Washington (NOAA) have a worldwide mandate to fulfill requirements of the ICAO Annex 3. Therefore, it ...

Re: French On The Radio

Which brings me to realize I could fly in these countries without a word of Spanish. English is the international language of aviation. Except in Quebec. Weird. Just felt like a fish out of water.

Re: "Break Break" - what does it mean?

The CAA in the UK has the same references as above for "Break" and "Break Break" in their Radiotelephony Manual. It is also straight from ICAO DOC 9432/AN 925 - Manual of Radiotelephony 2.6 Standard Words and Phrases BREAK — “I hereby indicate the separation between portions of the message.” Note: ...

not 100% sure on that type but are they approved for flight into icing? Not all of them are but most turbo SR22 owners select the option because it increases usefulness of the plane year round since the Turbo model in not really economical compared to the normally aspirated bellow 10 000' feet.
