I gave this its own thread because TSB is doing a class 3 investigation, meaning that a final report will be issued.....

Don't even see the first post with details. FLCH works just fine in Boeings, from my experience(although I can't speak for all types). If it is climbing slowly, there is probably a good reason. If ATC says expedite for traffic and you can't climb quickly, say Unable(or make sure they know it will no...

When one team member found their work environment too noisy, Hans, provided noise-canceling headphones.

Think they'll buy noise canceling headsets for pilots?

I just wore earplugs. Works well.

Wasn’t he pardoned?

That and al anon(and my possible new substance abuse) issues are irrelevant to the story.

Title is pretty self explanatory, I im sitting here blindsided as @#$! after getting the pfo even tho my references were called, i did the background check and the psych evaluation. My references obviously gave me good one, I have nothing on any background check, which only leaves somehow failing t...

If you reference TP13312 For the assessment of medical fitness in pilot applicants, it is important that hypertension be controlled. If pressures remain at or above 160 mmHg systolic or 100 mmHg diastolic, it is strongly recommended that drug treatment be initiated. Basically if you're above 160/10...

Hahahaha. But CpnCrunch would feel more comfortable flying with our famous bomb-making Afghan than the more prolific posters on AvCanada. Can you spell deranged? “If Omar Khadr is released on bail Thursday, he will have to wear a monitoring device and will face several conditions that restrict ever...

I heard today that Transport is looking for people, With al your knowledge you should apply, This seems to be your life work so you'd be a shoe in. I am nowhere close to being qualified in TC's eyes.... "How and why to self-declare as a member of an employment equity group when applying to federal ...

I fear Cargojet will have a hull loss soon. There's been too many close calls. It has crossed my mind that they have a disproportionate number of system failures that have to be dealt with, when reading the TSB daily incident reports. Flaps faults, etc. What a coincidence. Three hours after posting...

Usually prefaced with ‘ Land at the nearest SUITABLE airport ’. That will depend on the failure and in some cases aircraft type. Don't companies use FORDEC as a tool to handle abnormal situations? That's pretty standard at European companies. Never heard of FORDEC until going on the Airbus in the s...

I'm not going to give more information as I dont want to be identified and start worrying about that as well lol. Ill just say that nobody was ever hurt. I think ill just straighten up and be more smarter and careful ahead and see how it goes. Ill never know if I dont try I guess. Thanks for all yo...

I know because I know cops and a lot of cops will throw everything at a driver, especially a young one, just to see what sticks in their Dudley-do-good quest to climb the ladder, earn their stripes, and put people in front of judges.

[. Check last year, SP500 did 20+%, CWIPP have 5% (And that's not the main reason for my disliking of CWIPP). I did not just miss out on these details. Good point. My portfolio did 20% last year. My investor told me tha the teachers pension fund did closer to 7% because they have invested in green ...

0 times. I asked what I asked. I think Altiplano has heard enough and is ready to give you a reference for you upcoming Air Canada interview. Dealbreaker for me. The lawyers would have a field day if there was an at fault airplane accident and the employer knew your record upon hiring. Have you tho...

Ottawa is not busy enough nor is the weather often poor enough to require a CAT II.

Apparently, YOW is finally getting CATII. Liquid Charlie was right. Rest in Peace.

How were they talking to ATC with a total electrical failure? The aircraft also has a standby attitude indicator with its own emergency battery. Bottom line, clueless people are making wildass guesses without knowing the reason. You might notice that despite having so many posts on this forum, you ...
