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...

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...

Looks like it is a 1957 C130A with 4 blade props.

I worked with LIDO charts for several years, what a disaster! There were errors on almost every chart, worldwide.

So happy to go back to Jep.

Having said that the hold line on YVR runway 08R is really hard to miss.

AN2 "Hard Landing" Gmunden-Gschwandt Airport on Friday 23 Aug 2019.

We landed in Calgary a few years ago with the LED lights on 17L stuck on high. The tower could not turn them down and they were almost blinding during the flare. The weather was about 400 feet and 2 miles of mist.

Ok, I am talking about HIAL(High Intensity Approach Lights) settings. Maybe the vis is a bit low and you would like a brighter than normal setting but not too bright as you noticed that the last time you tried strength 5, they were quite bright on short final. So you decide to as for strength 4. As...

On 30 March 2019, a privately registered, ski-equipped Piper J3C-65 aircraft (registration C-FLDQ, serial number 16839) was en route from Pistol Lake, Ontario, to Snowshoe Lake, Ontario (approximately 53 nautical miles northwest of Kenora, Ontario), with the pilot and 1 passenger on board. The inten...

Looks like a Citation Latitude which should not have any problems operating on a 4500 foot strip. It appears to be a high speed over run on landing.

They were lucky to make it out!

Local wisdom seems to point to a wing separation at the top of the strut. Far from official. It was the bottom of the wing strut that let go. Years of corrosion, a known issue with Piper wing struts. Piper wing struts and the fork ends have been subject to an AD for over 30 years. It appears this o...
