Looks like one of the reasons the MAX is still not flying. https://www.flightglobal.com/safety/simulator-tests-demonstrate-737-max-manual-trim-difficulties/137651.article Investigators tested various out-of-trim scenarios in July 2019 using CAE-made 737 Max level D flight simulators in Addis Ababa. ...

A high speed rail link could get passengers from Toronto to CYHM in 25 minutes. If the present management of Hamilton airport continues there will never be enough traffic to finance a high speed rail. Lack of infrastructure and no commitment to build it has hampered passenger traffic in and out of ...

How is CrewLounge PilotLog (Formerly MCCPilotLog) work for folks? is it worth the subscription fee's?

Hey guys, What is your experiences regarding moderate to severe lead fouling on bottom spark plugs :?: I am working on a TCM O-470 annual inspection. 100 flight hours since last spark plug service. Engine MAG drop was normal at 75 R and 75 L . However, the considerable amount of lead buildup on the...

So do I read this correctly!? Seair decided to tow this Beaver out of Vancouver Harbour, under the Lions Gate Bridge, through Burrard Inlet and into the Fraser River to their maintenance base at the Vancouver airport? With that hole in the float? That is about 20 miles of open water with wake and sw...

Anyone else notice the photo of the inverted 172 being hoisted by a crane? The aircraft is being lifted partially by the landing gear, that doesn't seem like a great idea. They wrapped straps around the lower strut attachments with a stabilization line to the main landing gear. It is solid and good...

A Tatonduk Outfitters Douglas DC-6 on behalf of Everts Air Cargo, registration N451CE performing flight VTS-25 from Fairbanks,AK to Candle,AK (USA) with 3 people on board, was on approach to Candle's runway when the aircraft struck a berm causing damage to the landing gear. The aircraft continued th...

This is an Advanced Ultralight which is not legal to fly at night. Sunset in Merritt was about 545 pm and there are no runway lights.

What isn't known is if that was the last of a load or if they had more on board - which could degrade climb performance significantly. I imagine there is an emergency dump option in the event of an engine failure or other emergency. I wonder how long it takes to drain the tanks in an emergency. 2.2...

Justified or not it was a dick move unplug another aircraft. Most people are good but there are always few AS#H@LES around.

It is very hard to show a return on investment upgrading runways and approaches. So I do not think Halifax will consider an ILS on 5 or 32 when a LPV approach gets you down to 200-250 ft decision altitude right now. Conversely building stores and restaurants in terminals generates revenue. That is t...

The LDA for runway 14 at YHZ is 7700 ft, but what about the fact that the touchdown point for an ILS is not at the threshold? On a light twin you can chop and drop once you're visual (within reason), but what about the big guys? With a stabilized approach following the glidepath right to the ground...

Does anyone know if this aircraft had LPV capabilities? I'm assuming that the reason why they took 14 at all was that they didn't, but maybe they thought that 200 ft ceiling made it not even worth the effort of trying the RNAV 05.... Rwy 5-32 was NOTAM closed. Westjet does not do LPV approaches wit...

If I were on a newer model 737 and saw frost on top of the wing, I would suspect that the captain is legally taking off with all the required approvals in order. Ummmm, can you clarify this statement? I am quite sure that knowingly taking off with ANY frost on top of the wing won't satisfy the lega...

Keeping in mind that many details are unknown in this accident and preliminary info could be inaccurate...... Never, ever takeoff with contaminated wings on a swept wing jet with what are known as hard wings(no leading edge slats). I thought the F100 wing was upgraded to include leading edge slats....

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/12-killed-dozens-hurt-after-plane-crashes-in-kazakhstan-1.4744563 ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN -- A jetliner with 98 people aboard struggled to get airborne and crashed shortly after takeoff Friday in Kazakhstan, killing at least 12 people, authorities said. The Bek Air aircraft, ...

What's wrong with that? It's an IFR capable airplane with -let's assume- an instrument rated pilot. Pretty sure this is a daily occurence in Canada, in way worse environments. Evidence here would indicate it was an issue and wx was a factor. Even with a mechanical no quick return possible. Just bec...

Embraer E-145 regional jet flight slid off a runway “due to icy conditions” at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Monday. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/11/american-flight-skids-off-runway-in-ohare-as-storm-disrupts-hundreds-of-flights.html Video: https://digg.com/video/ohare-plane-skids-off-ru...

WestJet also had a 737 with 97k cycles on it. I'd imagine it's the cycles that get you not the hours. Remember the Hawaiian 737 convertible. It had 89k cycles.

That was a 737-200 and she was scraped when the 737NG's came on line.

I hope everyone is alright, the water is down into the high 40’s low 50’s this time of year and it won’t take much for hypothermia to be an issue. Not that warm. Lake temps are about 6 degrees celsius (43 fahrenheit) and those small lakes are cooling off fast with daily air temperatures around 0 ce...

Looks like the pilots are having to answer some questions. :wink: From the story in the translated text below the video: At 21.20 on Tuesday the Monumental stadium was a festival of lights, colors and songs. The players of River went out to the court to play the semifinal of the Copa Libertadores ag...

Hahaha you guys kill me!!!!

The sim will only simulate what is programmed. Boeing provided the parameters to the sim manufactures and originally never included the MCAS programming. Many of the world regulators have little faith in the simulator programming to accurately portray the extreme corners of the MAX flight flight env...
