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.

I hate when people call it prist… https://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server2300/9b9c7/products/1134/images/3211/PRIST_PGC13big__33476.1293706676.1280.1280.jpg?c=2 Agreed. Prist is just one company that makes fsii, among other products as well. Where I worked, the stuff came in clearly marked barrels and ...

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.

All this talk about radio calls....

Radios don’t prevent collisions, your fucking eyeballs prevent collisions; so use them.

Radios will give you a better situational awareness to augment the use of just your eyeballs. Why not make things safer?

As a person who flies IFR into an uncontrolled airport regularly, I can monitor the unicom well before I enter the control zone, while still on centre and if everybody is communicating properly, I pretty much know where to look for traffic. "...if everybody is communicating properly,..." This is th...

What's an Aurora?

As a Canadian pilot, that's like saying "who's Wayne Gretzky?"

My understanding from the Aurora guys is that they give their type as P-3 because when they work internationally everyone knows what a P-3 is; nobody has heard of a CP-140. The Twin Otter guys and Dash 8 guys don’t give their type as CC-138 and CT-142 for a similar reason. Wouldn't most people, at ...

Ahhh, that makes sense! He was speaking the identifier, rather than the type! A lot folks don't know the nuances of aircraft type because they don't have aviation backgrounds or aren't geeks like a lot of us on here. It's the reason behind why you see references to aircraft types like B732 instead ...

I'm quite curious about how much smaller the noise footprint will be with sound coming from just the prop.

I would suspect that the climb gradients have to do with getting above the protected airspace associated to the IFR procedures at YTZ, YZD and YKZ airports.

E) [US DOD PROCEDURAL NOTAM]

This NOTAM only applies to DoD aircraft - not to civilian operators

That would explain why when i pulled up the CYYZ NOTAMs on the NAV CANADA AWWS site,I couldn't find it.
