How did it turn out for you?

A couple of things worth noting or trying. Simplest solution, sometimes the outflow valves get sticky or residue on the seat of the valve, clean and reinstall. Sounds stupid but you'd be amazed how often this is the culprit. Often manifests in erratic pressurization. Can also check the drain valves ...

Just writing a short piece for a pilot blog about the top few things we as ame's wish pilots would understand or not do. ie writing system u/s in logbook and leaving without talking to maintenance. Comparing how one plane works to another of the same type. Any HELPFUL suggestions would be welcome. M...

From my own experience, only the guy that will certify your logbook can tell you this. Go to the nearest transport office and get someone to look at it and if you can at all, get it in writting.

I graduated a while ago from BCIT (old campus), i've heard all the stories about the horrible programs and students from there. While i agree that there are some people that came into my program and truely did need to be instucted as to the proper use of a hammer and how to ID a screwdriver by the t...

I got certified through Cougar NDT in Calgary, they do all kinds of a/c work. Good guys.

Don't worry too much about a kit, most of the tools you would get would be redundant from most of the things you would normally have around. Its nice to pick and choose the best quality and value from different companies as tools don't always fit all hands the same. Get to know some ame's and we all...

I've got a unenlightened buddy who hasn't seen the light of fixed wing aircraft maintenance and got stuck in one of those "heli" cults. Any ideas on how to purify his soul, and bring him into the fold?

Been following this for a while and just can't stay quiet anymore. I am a licensed ame. I really like my job. Yes, i said it. I like my job. The largest complaint that i have about the industry is the people in in. I had a nickel for everytime an ame tells me that we should all quit and move to anot...

Check you pm

Anyone deal with these nice folk up in Prince George? Any info? Thanks

Without directing the scorn of others to myself, i think the main reason they do it, it at the end of the line the pilot in the air has total responsibility for himself, the airplane and the souls onboard. At some levels, i think that anyone who would trust my life, the life of the company and the j...

Just wondering, ballpark, what the going rate is for an annual on a simple fixed gear cessna or piper. Thanks.

Just looking into my crystal ball here, but I am thinking of starting up a shop working on small private aircraft in sk. Wondering about the best way to go about it. Should one buy into an established business, start from scratch or something other? I currently am in that rare minority in having an ...

If you need info just send me a PM.

What would be the best way to find a small shop on the praries to work for, other than driving from town to town. (There's a lot of towns out here) Is there some sort of organization or contact group for smaller GA shops? Thanks

Apply in sk. If you show interest almost everyone (transwest, westwind ect.) are looking for people.

I'm currently in B.C. in the vancouver area, but wanting the leave the lower mainland. Too much crazyness and high cost of living here.

Hi, just wondering if there are any good places to apprentice out there. I have 3 months experience with varied M1 cat planes and just got laid off. I would like to work with m1 planes but would also be excited for a company with both m1 and m2 planes. I'm married with 2 kids so i would like a place...
