Re: How the PM stole freedom

Meanwhile, here are some minor little details that the tax and spend liberals/NDP for some reason fail to tell you.... The federal government’s carbon tax could generate more than $5 billion from the federal sales tax over the next seven years, but none of that is directly earmarked for climate prog...

Re: How the PM stole freedom

Unless you’re dirt poor you won’t get back more than you pay. It’s just a giant scam that most sheep are starting to finally wake up to. No, on average people get back more than they pay. Maybe if you think about it youll figure out how that is possible. Thanks for the analysis. Could you show us h...

If you are in totality, it's just like night. Sun is gone, stars are out.
Not while you are flying at higher altitudes.

Just think….they scare you into thinking the world will end. Then they implement a massively expensive policy that is offset by India and China in about a month. Then they implement the carbon tax and prices go up. Meanwhile you pay more GST on the higher prices across the board. The government rake...

Don't worry. PP isn't PM yet. You can still masturbate without a licence. Meanwhile, expect Trudeau to tax it because he says friction is adding to global warming.

Re: Poor condition of runway surfaces as a cause of plane crashes

There are tons of accidents and incidents related to runway condition. Unfortunately I don't think they are easily sorted this way. Go to the TSB and NTSB websites and just start searching through reports. I guess that just proves that my "Threads" on this forum organizing accidents by type(such as...

Re: Air France tailstrike

airbus uses a "Ground Speed Mini" function. https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/A320-Ground_Speed_Mini_Function.pdf Since this took place after landing the wind does not appear to be a factor in the tailstrike. Pilots sometimes want pitch up to 15 degrees much too quickly on go-around. Perhaps it is ...

Re: Take-off Configuration after Type 4

It will definitely run off. Not instantly, but over a couple of mins the coverage won’t be sufficient on flaps and slats if precip is falling. I’ve had to go back to spray because the wind blew off the type 4 well before the high time limit. Thats why you leave the flaps/slats up until just before ...

Re: B747 Rating ?

It would be a heck of an experience. Flying the thing would be an experience. Sitting in a simulator reading emergency checklists isn't worth the bragging rights that will come with an asterisk. It is the ground handling where one really notices the difference from other jets. Just ask them to taxi...

Re: Newbie Pilot just received upfront training bond offer

A bond would make sense if the company paid the going interest rate on it. Then it would actually be an investment that paid off if you stayed for the length you assured the company you would when asking them to invest in you.

Re: Take-off Configuration after Type 4

For the aircraft I’ve flown, it is usually centred or within the takeoff range. Generally full up or down isn’t good as you will dump all the type 4 off the horizontal stab. Unless it’s an md 80 or something. Some set position at the gate, and some with the before takeoff checklist after deicing. I...

Re: BAe 146 Runway Overrun

The RJ is a good short field aircraft but relies solely on wheel braking to stop. Back in the day when I was a baggage handler, the BA 146 was an unpopular type to work on(as compared to the 737 and the big jets). They called the BA 146 the Bad Attitude. Maybe it is from the pilots point of view as...

Scuttlebutt is the runway end was essentially 100% icy but the airport didn't seem to know about it so it was not reported to the crew. I see it is a 6000' runway.
