Different incident for this thread title but interesting nonetheless..... C-FTJX, a 2080061 Ontario Inc. (dba SkyCare Air Ambulance) Piper PA-31-350 was departing Big Trout Lake Airport (CYTL), ON, on a visual flight rules flight to Sioux Lookout Airport (CYXL), ON. During the application of power a...

When I used to handprop the old Champ on skis, the throttle was cracked open ever so slightly. Didn't have any problems. If it won't start and you get to the point of opening the throttle significantly, you need someone or something to restrain the aircraft. C-GHNC, a private Cessna 172M, was en ro...

Alright folks, OP messed up and is big enough of a person to admit it and own up to it. That's more maturity than a lot of the posters throughout this forum in my opinion. And I doubt they'll be doing it again. All the best in your pursuit. Flying is a beautiful thing, and I hope you can keep your ...

To avoid an accident....OK(which is really rare). To avoid a taxiway incursion.....not a good idea. C-GENU, a WestJet Encore De Havilland DH8C-8-400, was operating as flight WEN3146 from Fort McMurray Airport (CYMM), AB, to the Calgary International Airport (CYYC), AB. While taxiing to the runway in...

Why such a late advertisement?

Nothing has changed, except the newspaper reporting the cost of these trips. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/bill-for-stephen-harper-s-annual-arctic-trips-tops-3-4m/article_1cd22b83-6652-5fdd-963e-fc6f1901bbda.html Perhaps you should become prime minister on a platform of flying Economy and eat...

Aviation related.... how? Aviation is front and crater in the sights of the green movement with literal attacks on some segments. Business aviation could be legislated out of existence along with unnecessary general aviation. We now see articles claiming carbon emissions are racism and the PM steal...

Any updates on this ? The pilot is being touted as a hero but hard to believe two R-985s can quit without some serious negligence on the part of the pilot . And how was he unable to make the water southbound off the runway in Bella Bella ? This airplane was sank 2 years ago due to a missing drain p...

This is one of those things I’ve never had happen to me. Is not checking fuel before start and top of climb a thing at these organizations? Several years ago, I started a thread called “A Top of Climb Check”. It suggested that at the top of climb, the pilot do a check of all the switches and gauges...
