You guys (and gals) have it all wrong.

Firemen are now firefighters.

Therefore, Airmen should now be referred to as Airfighters.

Strange there were fatalities, as it looks relatively intact / survivable.

I think all of the fatalities were up front. There's no flight deck area left.

Just take their iPads away and get them to do some chores.

Are the provincial medevac authorities being squeezed for money by NavCanada? How can Nav Canada "squeeze" anyone for money. The whole organization runs on user fees. By act of parliament they can't make a profit. All they are capable of doing is determining where the money goes (and doesn't go any...

CPX3 was pulled from the CFS in 2009.

It was a MED-EVAC. Air Baffin Falcon 20 arriving from Pittsburgh.

Too bad. Being a millenial would have given you a reason for being such a whiny, drama queen.

Pot-kettle. You come across as same.

Get rid of your celphone and get a landline. People lived that way for a very long time. I know for a millennial its daunting just to imagine doing so, but "Flight Safety" depends on it! Not anywhere near millennial age and (thankfully) got rid of my landline 15 years ago...I love generalizations.

I think the pilot was thinking of hydraulic lock which only happens with downward facing pistons like the bottom one on a radial engine, not a horizontally opposed engine...but I'm no mechanic.

Bought my DC headset 27 years ago...still works like new...just sayin'...

Next purchase, you might want to consider going with DC, Francis.

Seems pretty intact given the cards they were dealt.

When I flew Metros, ATC sometimes called them Merlins, and when I flew 1900s they sometimes called them Super King Airs. In every circumstance, I always filed a complaint directly with the Minister of Transport. :roll: Before they added the type designator "B190", the Beech 1900 was filed as BE02, ...

Really, who the f*** cares.

Obviously some people do..and you`ve clarified that you`re not one of them. Thanks for sharing.

How did hit the plane all over like that? Jazz taxing to fast. If they'd taxi at 7 kts or less like I do it wouldn't have happen. No different than the Toronto yahoos going 100 km/hr on 401. Cut speed to 50 and be less accidents and lower insurance premiums. If you've ever held an AVOP (airside veh...

So, pilot joining circuit doesn’t hear any radio calls, figures he’s alone, doesn’t bother doing a proper lookout, turns downwind, runs over other aircraft. Also, pilot on downwind doesn't see aircraft twice the size of his approaching from the left and then runs into it and dies. Dude, what is wit...

Looks like TSB released the report. Blames it mostly on no radio calls coming from the Cessna. Also looking to mandate flight recorders in GA aircraft. https://copanational.org/en/2019/05/02/tsb-releases-non-conclusive-report-on-carp-midair/?utm_source=wysija&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=eFlight-2...

If radio calls are considered that primary to the TSB, why are NORDO aircraft even legal? Basically because the TSB can't tell TC what to do otherwise it likely would be. I'm sure the TSB's primary objective is to minimize risk as much as possible and obviously flying NORDO adds an additional risk ...

The whole radio discussion got started because someone speculated that improper radio work caused this collision. They are wrong. Improper look out caused this collision. Somebody let their discipline in the maintaining a look out slip and now somebody is dead. You need to be fair here. Not "somebo...

A search for Kelowna Flightcraft on the TC Canadian registration website doesn't list any DC-10s anymore.
