But, flying helicopters is cool.

They had to fly on the peanut gyro because of a low battery voltage? That doesn't sound right to me. No, they flew VMC. Luckily, but the ramifications of ending up in IMC are there. I have experience on both the 4 dual fed bus system as well as the 1 triple fed bus system and losing both gens due t...

Wow and I thought we were slummin it with the KLN 89's in the 1900 at my last job.

You guys are so quick to make attack personal here. aux gave opinion. He doesn't know what the 738 FCOM or FCTM say. Attack what he says but going after the guy personally, is rude, albeit pretty typical Avcan behaviour. FYI this is what Boeing says: "WARNING: After the reverse thrust levers are mov...

I was told of a scary scenario with a Beech 200 and a new G1000 installation. There's a prop RPM red arc and it's something weird like 1750-1800 RPM, if you accidentally set the props there it sets up a harmonic that causes the screens all to shut down. Not sure the 300 has such a limitation, are th...

Did he have any good bannock recipes?

Judgement call. It was a stressful day, and I believe what I saw was a panic attack, but I left it up to him to deal with. If it was a CVA, or an MI, or a loss of consciousness, I'd have had not choice but to report it. He's gone on to have a very successful career so I can only assume he's figured ...

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate... in that order, always.

It certainly sounds like this crew mixed the order of that rule up a bit.

I had this happen to me, and I just covered for the guy, flew single pilot and didn't tell anybody. Maybe not the smartest thing to do but it's what I would want someone to do for me. He was just violently sick and needed both hands for the barf bag though, if he'd gorked out on me, or had a heart a...

Keeping one hand on the thrust levers and one on the control column below 10 000' seems to be expected of the PF unless actively using that hand to manipulate the MCP here. I do remember having a throttle roll back on me on the 1900, and the prop sync masked it quite well. The first indication I had...

This post intentionally left blank.

Seems like this wasn't an isolated incident. Happened the very next day as well.... December 17 A Swoop Inc. Boeing 737-8CT (C-FYBK/WSW107) on a flight from Hamilton, ON (CYHM) to Abbotsford, BC (CYXX) checked in on the HOPE 3 Arrival and was cleared for the area navigation (RNAV) 25 approach. The ...

CAP GEN stuff is very popular in IFR interviews and also on your initial IFR. Get comfortable with alternate wx, take off alternate, aircraft category, approach ban, what governs takeoff?, approach? and landing? People used to love asking about what to do if an IFR departure is "not assessed", not s...

Looks like inadvertent TOGA activation and the FO thinking they were about to stall. He then pushed to a 40 degree nose down attitude. ...

Iv'e stalled one or two aircraft, never heard of one where 40 degrees nose down was required. What's the normal stall recovery pitch in the 767?

Right so if the only thing that matters to you is getting on at AC, then go Jazz, if you want schedule, money, better aircraft, more productive pairings, and better destinations up front, go Sunwing.

It's called logic and airmanship

Exactly.

If they've got time on the CRJ and if Sunwing has a matrix that gives credit for that time towards upgrade, then it could absolutely be worth it. The money is better, the shedule is better, the equipment is better, and the destinations are better (IMHO). The only thing that isn't better is the guara...

To me, the reason to correct the MAP alt is for comm failure. In any radar controlled airspace you're never going to get the publish missed. If you call in the missed, they will give you an altitude, but if your radios shit the bed at that precise instant, you need to CYA, (and the A's of the people...

I would think that a 130 Kt RTO in a 763 would put you at risk for melting tire fuse plugs, wouldn't it? Did they have to wait for cool down before taxiing back to the gate? Did they get local ARFF to come put the IR camera on their brakes before taxxing? Just curious.

I flew with my original DC 10-13.4s for years until I bought ProX in 2013. My current company just provided me with the latest version, the ProX-2 and it is an amazing headpiece. I have flown everything from a pistons, to various jets with them and have zero complaints on it. If you have access to ...

Probably just ran out of places to put them.

... First year FO's start at $56k First year Captains start at $93k Benefits after 3 months, eligible for company contributed pension after 1 year. We do have a 2 year training bond, which is a promissory note. This means no money exchanges hands, but the amount is reduced every month worked and sh...

When I left there was no ability to jump seat on Swoop even though you flew there. The PTA (pilot transfer agreement) should be resolved one way or another soon enough. You most likely will be better off going to WJ/Encore in regards to commuting, schedule bidding, fatigue mitigation, support, bene...

Great table plausibly, the hat is the real tie breaker there.
