Do you have much time for socializing with the players ? Does each time charter its own Air Canada Jetz plane? Cause I notice on the canucks photos there are canucks logos on the seats. I am assuming you don't go through changing the logos as every team boards? Also, what kind of crew gets to fly t...

I guess they are "enthusiastic" about aviation and they love getting mentioned in the media about something they have no clue about!

That has to be the most unscholarly comments I have read in a long time.

It depends on the team. Some rich owner's have their own jets (Red Wings, Blue Jacket). Some teams charter a sport team aircraft like Sky King, Jetz(Air Canada) or some teams will charter any airline. I did fly Colorado Avalanche from Vancouver to Edmonton then Calgary last week. We have flown sever...

Holy Cow Blastor you are alive. Four1oh, CanadaEH have not had much to do with you being so reserve lately. Now get in there and start stirring the pot!

That's not so bad. My buddy use to fly air taxi up and down the Mackenzie in a single engine Cessna years ago. A guy from the back seat pulls a knife on him because he would not land at Wrigley because of fog. The two other guys on board who were friends of the guy with the knife grab him and choke ...

That reg from the cap gen is only for general aviation. For commercial operators the RVR rules, regardless of the ground vis. The only way you can ignore the RVR is if it is fluctuating above and below limits. Or you could shoot an approach on a different runway (one without an RVR). Just to make i...

Hi all this maybe a dumb question. I am a fixed wing guy, but is there or has there ever been a pressurized helicopter? If not is there one been looked at? Just wondering

Thanks

It turns out it was a Lear 45. Here is a quick update The Learjet departed San Luis Potosí (SLP) at 18:04 on a flight to Mexico City (MEX). On board were a.o. Mexican Interior Minister Juan Camilo Mourino, Deputy Attorney General Josi Luis Santiago Vasconcelos and Miguel Monterubio Cubas, the direct...

Wow what well thought out intelligent statement. You must be a real ignoramus on most topics.

ATC will not clear you for an approach to an airport in uncontrolled airspace such as CYNR. What they will do is clear you out of controlled airspace in the vicinity of that airport. You can advise them of your approach so then can accommodate you for the arrival fix. You can also close your flight ...

Had a nice write up in October issue of Air Transport World called Big Fish, Small Pond. Unfortunately it is only in print not on the net.

Start with a companies like Sunwest or North Cariboo. Even if you start on a Metro/Kingair/1900's you can eventually move to other aircraft. Once you have some time on a Lear or Citation then start talking and investigating the corporate flight departments you would like to work at. Let them get to ...

It has been sitting on the ramp in YEG for over a month. I have seen anyone around it for a long time. Interesting I thought it was a -100 series. Will have to look closer next time.

Oh my God ... all that smoke and flames ... don't tell me someone tried to land on a runway, with another aircraft in the turnaround bay?! God forbid :shock: OH boy here we go again :smt014 .... Give it a rest would you. An active air show runway is nothing like the rest of the time in aviation wor...

As Flying Nutcracker had mentioned the flap setting is being looked at now. recovered flight data recorder from the Spanair MD-82 that crashed last month on takeoff from Madrid Barajas revealed that the flaps were not extended, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited sources close the acci...

After reading that I have to shake my head. Here is an article from Aviation Safety Letter. To think we are suppose to give "unfettered access to the aircraft" What's next? Give them a screwdriver to open every panel. Inspecting Airplanes on the Ramp—The Role of the Canada Border Services Agency (CB...

jetflightinstructor I think you are jumping the gun a bit. There has been only speculation on TV by non substantiated witnesses. As you know these crashes take a lot more information to even start to form hypotheses on what may have occurred. I just saw a CBC reporter refer to this airplane as quite...

Here you can try this document. It has information at the begining of who to contact at NavCanada. It also list all the names being used today.

The future is becoming very bleak at YXD thanks to ERAA. The ERAA has been trying to close YXD for over 10 years. They even tried to get rid of a one of the rwys a few years ago. There was a backlash over that so they back down. So they cleverly started restricting all the traffic and business going...

oui

Thank's NJ

YXY is a 1, YZF is a 2, YYT is I think a 1. Movements don't always tell the whole story. Langley does 80000-100000 movements and is a 1. YQM is a 1 and it's very busy (will probably be reclassified sometime). YZF's 70000 movements are done without much of a taxiway infrastructure (5700 foot backtra...

It was a little more profound then that.

Nice article about Air North in April 09 2008 Edmonton Journal How's this for investor confidence? When Yukon's Air North needed $5 million to buy new planes recently, it put out an equity offering. It sold out in three days without any advertising or news releases, and had a long waiting list. That...
