A few Winters ago while flying a -34 Turbo Otter in the mid - 30s I had the linkage hang up and torque would not reduce below 20 lbs. Power lever traveled normally. Once back at the base and on approach to the ice, I pulled condition lever off and feathered the prop. The thing really didn’t want to ...

Great job! Such outstanding airmanship, true professionals! Kudos!

Thanks for your replies!

Our engineers found the problem. I may not have all the terminology right but here goes. Inside the crimped end of the cable leading to center post on starter/gen it had been arcing and once the end was cut open it was all black with carbon. A new approx foot long chunk of heavy cable with new end f...

Have been experiencing intermittent partial illumination of Gen lights on a 200 series -6. Always both right and left lights and matched in intensity. When this occurs the loadmeter needle jumps around erratically. Only once has a Gen gone offline. Any ideas -6 gurus?? Occurs in flight and on water ...

So relieved they recovered his body, rest in peace young man

Well done men!!

Rest in peace men.

Condolences to all those affected.

Plan your touchdown prior to or beyond the gusts. Experience will help with this. Manage your power accordingly, knowing that after you fly through a gust the bottom will fall out if you don't have enough power on. Much more could be said on this topic. Safe Flying.

Are you ovennighting in YVC?

I still fly in the north[ N Sask ] I recall doing a fuel haul 3 or 4 winters back and first flight of the day temp was -51, turned on avionics master and the GPS went BANG. Good thing I pretty much had a trail by then to the destination and back. And a cojo with maps.

I should know the answer to this, but why is the speed restricted to 133 with a Pratt but not with the Garrett? Is this accurate? Is it just an approval thing?

Perhaps you could try modelling again. I would think the royalties would still be coming in??

Not too bad down to -20 or -25 c, But below that you're generally cold. We do put a foam plug in the front bulkhead when doing cargo hauls so you're heating a smaller space. That improves things a bit.

What thread are you referring to?

Just how is it you can be northern CP without float,ski, etc bush experience? How would he be able to do checkouts and know if his pilots know their stuff? Typical TW move. Man I'm glad I left there when I did.

Since when do Westwinds ATRs go into wallyworld? Check your facts. TWs safety record vs Westwinds not even close. The big TW must average an incident a week. Aircraft don't compare either. With the exception of a small handful of planes, the clapped out fleet of TWs aircraft are an accident looking ...

What you've heard TCAS appears to be true. It looks like VOG sitting on the TW ramp sans tail. Maybe more Reeses pieces? Wake up managing paaartners.

I've heard it was CCE on skis. It was apparently frozen down on the ramp near the hangar. With lots of power it became unstuck, took out the pilot's truck, and destroyed a wing on the turbo beaver as well as crumpled fuselage. Both props and engines taken out as well on the T.O. Oh and for good meas...

But, unfortunately, it would still be a Cessna. The key is a Dehavilland wing.

I've always thought it was goofy for the party in power to be able to decide when to have an election. Gee we're popular now lets have an election.

8 years going on 9. Still fun most days.
