That's a dangerous game that judge is playing. It undermines the whole intent of the CVR. People will just fly around with the CB pulled instead of letting some greedy lawyer get their hands on it. How is accountability maintained and enforced? Purely via the cozy relationship between the regulator...

The best article I have read recently about how corporatism did more to take Boeing to the bad place they are now, far more than than any single design decision on any single aircraft.

A warning for all companies really.

It is a warning, for sure.

Wouldn't the boost pump on richen the mixture, which carb heat also would richen? Leaning would seem to be the answer. (assuming carb ice)

Whoa whoa whoa..... Am I to understand that an aviation company struggled/failed because of incompetent management? I've never heard of such a phenomenon! Nah. It's Trump's fault. Harper's. Jason Kenney's. Don Cherry's. Is that poster who disagreed with me on BBD, still maintaining it as a great in...

Very unwise to switch to CYSP in the first place with the fuel remaining. Any required diversion would probably resulted in the same outcome.

This many replies and beer pong has not been mentioned.

Seneca doesn't sound very fun.

But Beef you get to say at parties and on social media "I'm a SENECA GRAD!!!!! I'm SOMEBODY!!!!!!!!!!"

And wear a 4 bar shirt everywhere. I'm AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Pardon the "ignorance", but what the hell is the issue? The crew had a fire warning light come on - they ran the checklist, saw no visible signs of fire, and decided to RTB. Seems like a prudent enough decision. While on the short jaunt back to the departure airport the medic saw smoke coming from ...

Kind of like when a VFR guy in a cirrus wanders into IMC

Do only cirrus pilots do dumb things like that?
Just curious.
Maybe that model incapacitates the brain?

Very cool.

Draft hogs will take down this whole fucking airline with one incident unless they learn to manage themselves.

Used to be our contract protected you from yourself, now some of these morons think unlimited OT and doing 100+ a month is a pay raise...

Greed isn't confined to the executive suite.

however this trusted pilot that made those recommendations seems to be very well respected and is a person I trust implicitly. Very bad idea. Get your PPL, if you don't puke on the discovery flight. Then, in a simple aircraft, fly all over the place, day VFR. Across North America even, carefully an...

I tend to be direct.

Start with a discovery flight. Go on a bumpy day. See if you even like flying a small airplane that's getting tossed around without getting sick.

"One of the principal concerns encountered by Jetlines team while engaging with investors is that they believe the existing dominant members of Canada’s aviation duopoly will react very aggressively once the company starts operations, and in fact have already done so in anticipation of Jetlines entr...

hey guys I had my CPL flight test this morning and I passed, thanks for all your help

Boeing statement on the instant messages:

Boeing says FAA told "multiple times" re MCAS:

The plot thickens...........

No no you misunderstand. You need to have the exact same level of knowledge as the person making such statements. If you know less, you are incompetent. If you know more, you are hung up on irrelevant details! If you drive 1 km / hr slower than me, you're a danger to everyone on the road and blocki...

Know your VNC cold.
Know your weather cold, GFA's ect
Flight planning and decision making.

Ace the ground portion and it relaxes you and the examiner for air portion. Mine was a breeze for this reason.

Best wishes!

Developing story.

You will get a lot more experience at manoeuvring, stalls, spins, correcting botched landings, taking off and landing in a crosswind, steep turns, reading a chart, forced approaches, and a bunch of other basic stuff, as an instructor, than you would in the right seat of a 1900. Airline flying is mo...

Ouch.....didn't look good from the start.

Instructing is not meant for everybody, but it certainly is a good way to obtain PIC time and good experience... Instructing IFR also is one of the best way to sharpen your IFR skills in my opinion. Couple questions. I'm just curious why a boatload of 172 PIC time, repetition instructing in the cir...

"self loading cargo, sit down and shut up".

I know you all think that --
