Sometimes it's simply SOP with 705 operations. Not saying that one CANT go VFR but I'd personally rather wait, within reason to have my clearance Clarence before bombing off into VFR land trying to maneuver safely amongst ifr aircraft all while dealing with a bumpy ride and grumpy passengers. Wait i...

All YXL MTCE staff and office workers have been given notice according to a source of mine. Seems they will also be reducing the staffing levels at the counter too. Possibly down to just 2. Sad

CA and now First Air!! Sad times. Hope those affected can get back on their feet soon.

Thanks for the feedback folks. The coordinates I used (the large error) was just random and fictional to help make my question clear. 34nm would indeed be an issue. . Again thanks folks.

I'll have to review my com section.

Edit: there was a typo should have read 114 01.25. Sorry

Hey folks. Quick question if anyone is interested in taking a stab at it. I'm curious to know if there is, somewhere, a published maximum tolerance of error between the published cap lat/long coordinates for any given waypoint, and what is displayed in the database of a IFR cert GPS? If it's unclear...

Thanks for the info natej. I'm writing it in Winnipeg on the 19th of May. They are quoting 2:30 - 3:00 hours now for the exam and it starts at 13:30. So lunch won't be an issue :) Sounds like maybe they have removed or combined some of the material but I'll find out for sure on the 19th. Thanks for ...

Anyone able to give me some insight as to what I can expect during the Nav Canada Testing Session??

Whoever was "frowning" on that extra check simply because it wasn't SOP is a retard. Most pilots I know have a variety of "extra" things they check whether it be making sure gear is down and locked or annunciators are as they should be. Have to wonder on this one if they DID have issues with the sen...

I searched the entire TSB website, emailed them, trying to find out how I can access copies of old accident reports. Its quite easy to access them in the US, but not that easy here. Last I heard all accident reports should be accessible to the public. Maybe I am missing an obvious link or something...

Hello, folks! The question is in the title. I am low-timer with a CPL, just starting to send out resumes to some 702/703 companies where I think I might have at least a slight chance of being offered a flying position. As you might guess, in my situation I don't yet have much to offer flying experi...

Whats the landplane and integrated ATPL chances of work like out in canada? The same as the CPL+SE float chances. I'm not trying to discourage you here but there are plenty of folks with 3000+ with a ATPL trying to find a job right now (layoffs, economy, whatever you want to blame it on). Phones ar...

Obviously being in another part of the world im pretty uncertain as to what you mean by ramp guys? You mean just working for an airline in a non-flying capacity? Translated RAMP means throwing freight (loading planes, unloading, fuelling, cleaning planes, towing them, everything but flying them), a...

Hi all, A new poster here! I am considering moving in with a friend in Vancounver having just finished my JAR PPL in the UK. I am considering paying for a 50 hours Professional Bush + CPL hour build. Once completed I will have a canadian CPL and SE Float rating. What are the job prospects out there...

Pretty sure I've said enough in my topic title. Anyone care to weigh in?

I think they should just leave it alone.

The whole thing falls somewhere between "warm and fuzzy" great idea, and totally racist. If a company were laying off natives, and hiring/training white guys, there would be much flinging of poo. It gets down to equal rights for all Canadians....? Perhaps not. At the same time, if there was any nee...

Very political indeed. Is there enough business from just one customer to warrant a Dash 8? Would Wasaya lose the contract if they used a Hawker? Both airplanes have the same number of seats, give or take, and a well "dressed" Hawker is a Hell of a lot cheaper than a Dash 8. Since the contract is o...

My guess would be Dash 8 for Musselwhite crew changes. If it were just for Musselwhite, they'd more likely just toss seats into one of the derelicts they have sitting in the snow banks in YQT. No overhead. You can run a Hawker you already own, for many years on the price of a Dash 8. Surely, even W...

Then we had that terrible singing of Oh Canada. I am sorry but its no a love song its our National Anthem!

During starts we often see IIT's get to or exceed for a short period the 800 degree mark Not sure on the 200 if the numbers are different, but usually you're good up to 1000 for starting only limitations with other PT6s that I've had experience with (PC12, 1900D, 208B) If you're looking for cooler ...

Yep great group of pilots there. Hard working and they deserve something positive after dealing with so many negatives.

Death or not, if things are going southbound and the captain isn't fixing the problem, the F/O needs too by way of addressing it or in this "case" with no time to do so, take over and discuss it on the ground after.

Can overriding PIC authority be justified? Consider yourself in any number of hypothetical scenarios where immediate action would need to be taken in order to prevent a catastrophic outcome. The PIC is in control and clearly veering away from the proper course of action. There is no time to properl...

Good show. Enjoyed it a lot. Even the wife enjoyed it. Maybe I can convince her to ditch Melrose Place completely now.
