C-FOAW, a privately registered Stinson SR9FM float-equipped aircraft, was taking off from an unnamed lake located 2 kms north of Unity, Saskatchewan with the pilot and 1 passenger on board. During the initial climb at approximately 300 ASL, the engine (P&W R985) power began to degrade and the aircr...

Ferrying a float plane through Saskabush next month and was wondering if there were any restrictions landing at a lake in a provincial park? Have sent an inquiry to the provincial agency but no joy thus far. Thanks

How did it go? Any issues? Were did you stop? Oh so many questions!

Regarding the Jazz fleet, how many aircraft are owned vs. leased ?

Is there a breakdown someplace online to reference ?

No Owned vs leased but https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Jazz%20Air.htm

Man, some of you guys are nasty! I do not think BackToTheFuture will be back in the future.

BackToTheFuture you need to relax a bit and enjoy life, I am sure the controllers are not lazy or trying to "Piss you off".

It seems that Sun n Fun is still tentatively scheduled for May 5 - 10. Possibly optimistic but that's one of the worst things right now - the uncertainty of everything.

How did this get associated with a Navajo? You have to take into account the pyramid of "AvCanada bitchiness". There was no option to complain about instructing, so the poster reverted to the second level of the pyramid. Some good old 703 bashing! -------- At the top, you have FTUs and flight instr...

Sad to have to cancel but it is the responsible thing to do.

While landing on an ice strip something went wrong and excited the strip knocking the floats off.

Something went wrong alright! Yup like little wheels on spring ice! I would not even be up there on skis!

Poor decision making.

Good afternoon,

Just a quick question, are we allowed to deduct the commuting costs (hotels/flights) from our taxes ?

Thanks a lot for your help!

In Canada I believe the answer is no. It is just like driving your car to work at the office.

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. ...

So do I read this correctly!?

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.

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...
