In the Beaver accudent, apparently he had no or little Float time and was advised not to fly the approach from that direction due to steep terrain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgHmTanno0E That crash has always worried me. I realize that there is drift on the aircraft but as an inexperienced flo...

Video shows the aircraft exiting the runway at a very high speed. After long dry periods rubber deposits can make things very slippery when it rains. Braking action in the TDZs can be almost non existent. There is no rush to vacate - slow down or take the next exit. Especially on wet/contaminated s...

Why FL250? Radar at the time shows what seems to be a line of thunderstorms all along the SK/MB border up to The Pas and down to South Dakota. GFA says "FRQ CB 460". Looks like you can't get around or over them. Would going lower work? If you have a premium windy.com sub you can see the winds at va...

Gatineau would also be a good candidate for the new digital remote tower facility Nav is building at Kingston. Aside from YOW, Gatineau would be the next closest tower to Kingston, so it would be an easier transition technology and connectivity-wise as opposed to transitioning another tower in SW O...

Good explanation here......or do you count on those regular YouTubers scrambling to get ahead of each other with wildass guessing?

I got a little worried once as I was holding short of the runway at Duncan and a heavy helicopter decided to do a low pass over the runway for training purposes and the entire aircraft started shaking. Luckily that is all that happened, but you need to be very careful around helicopters (although i...

Just finished reading this crash report from 2011(Yes, I am a bit behind but it is only by 15 years)..... https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2011/a11o0166/a11o0166.html In the end, it appears that the reason for the under-performing takeoff that led to the dangerous situation requir...

One can only guess for the reasons but I suspect that power was added after sight of the runway was lost, then he saw it again and decided to land. All three incidents appear to be pilot incompetence with multiple examples. And guess what....Trans-States and the insurance company sued the Ottawa air...

Completed reading the report recently. Definitely some odd stuff happened on this flight. To begin with, this was one of the last flights that this company(Trans-States Airlines) was operating into Ottawa. The airline had already had two rain-related runway excursions at YOW. One in 2004 on runway 2...
