Pelmet, You’re asking for a clinical approach to an emotional problem. Imagine, instead of that idea, we decide to make everyone stand in the streets wearing a blindfold and we’ll send a fleet of trucks through at high speed. The lucky ones who dive the right way will be saved, too bad for the rest...

C-FKWE, a WestJet Encore De Havilland DHC-8-402, was operating flight WEN3107 from Vancouver Intl (CYVR), BC to Terrace (CYXT), BC with 4 crew members and 43 passengers onboard. During the landing roll on RWY 33, the aircraft departed the cleared area of the runway to the left, contacted a windrow, ...

Thanks for your response. Anyone else feel the same or differently.

I posted the statement below on another AvCanada forum but thought I might post it here. It is just an ide4a bought was wondering what people think about the idea. Any constructive criticism is welcome to point out things that I did not think of and perhaps it makes no sense at all. But at least it...

Nope wouldn’t work unless everyone was isolated separately. That's what I meant by 100% isolation. It would eradicate the virus. In the real world....won't work. What should be done is a quarantine of everybody over 55 for 2 months starting immediately. As well, Everybody under 55(about 75-80% of t...

I have an idea....

Expropriate housing/buildings near YYZ and build more runways....kinda the way Atlanta is.

expensive....not as much as a new airport.

The Cessna "high voltage light" is a bit of a misnomer. When it comes on, all it's saying is that the alternator has been taken off-line, and isn't producing current any more. That's all. Now, one cause of the alternator being taken off line is over-voltage. This is a very good point. Most pilots w...

There are some aircraft where a small relaxation of the control column, moving it slightly forward can result in a smoother landing, but it seems like one of the worst things one can do in the flare/landing is to make a large/full nose down input while any part of or all of the aircraft is still air...

Remember something...IT continues during times like this. I suggest remaining in IT, keep the income coming in and either fly at a flying club or purchase an aircraft for pleasure. It can be very rewarding.

Hmm, I guess it is a lot of detail for a lighter aircraft with just pilot and one pax on board. They did their homework on figuring out aircraft speeds and descent rates and so on as the loss of control happened. Still, sometimes things get so wordy that it is hard to pull out the relevant info. I ...

One pax is in hospital. A good family friend was on that aircraft and as can imagine is quite shaken up. Sounds like they hit a snow bank on departure. C-GJVB, a Fairchild SA227-DC operated by Perimeter Aviation as flight Bearskin Airlines 344, was conducting a VFR flight from Dryden Regional (CYHD...

It can be more than just the loose clothing. What about headset cords. For example, what about that headset cord....or cords from various plug-in items. They can end up tangled around something and then you pull on the cord which is pulling on something else. Decades back, I had occasion to meet a p...

Depends on the company. Why would Cargojet hire a lower time non jet pilot when they can hire a high time boeing pilot who will have no issues with training or line indoc and can be online in a minimal amount of time? Thye might only get them for 6 months but the spike in demand for cargo might onl...

Good luck

C-GFFT, a Learjet 45 operated by Flightpath Charters Airways Inc. was on an IFR flight from Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl (CYUL), QC to Quebec/Jean Lesage Intl (CYQB), QC. Upon touch down on Runway 06, the crew experienced high wind gusts and white out visibility. The aircraft drifted slightl...

Foundation is now grounded for passenger rides due to bad maintenance leading to the crash.

I remember a few years back I was flying a rare and fairly old single engine light aircraft that had a control stick and throttle on the left side. The throttle was a lever that was pointing straight up from the sidewall mounted quadrant when at cruise power. It didn't have a heater and in the fall,...

Here is an example of some people that are quite possibly good candidates for the punch to the face..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaGWpdSN9Us An evacuation should be done within 90 seconds. "Except for the Commander and the senior cabin crewmember who evacuated after the center wing tank expl...

If you were a passenger on this flight and evacuation was being delayed by a passenger struggling with their carry-on baggage, how much force would you use to get that passenger to move along. Would you grab them by the scruff of the neck and toss them out the exit or would you be prepared to die w...

"Bek Air was grounded after the accident and has repeatedly appealed to authorities to allow the airline to restart operations. The airline recently issued, extraordinarily, purported audio conversations between accident investigators and the first officer of the flight, who initially survived the ...

Not always possible of course, depending on the conditions but I remember having a similar situation in a turboprop. Visual approach, behind a big jet. There is a pretty high chance that the big jet will be on the glideslope/descent path for their stable approach requirements that most airlines acti...

You don’t need a fancy checklist. It’s called a walkaround. Look at every surface of the aircraft and the area around the aircraft for abnormalities. If the systems that are in place have been implemented properly (flags, high vis markings, ground icing training, norms, etc) you aren’t going to mis...
