Whether it is a good time to start or not, it would seem from my experience that a hell of a lot of people are indeed starting. Buddies at a few flight schools have said that they're all super busy and have long waitlists. Can't foresee many of those students having a job in the next couple of years...

I'm curious about the PACCAR Turbo Beaver and the new job add. I see the Beaver C-FCKW is registered to Canadian Kenworth since 1988 on one Civil Aircraft registry site and then I saw it registered to PACCR since 1968 on another Civil Aircraft site. Does anyone have some info on this machine and th...

Is using the primer while the engine is running a common practice? This is the first time I've heard about it. Is it normal that an engine would require the primer to keep running? Or would that be an indication of a wrongly set full mixture setting or someting similar? Would turning on the carbu h...

Go into terminal or go elsewhere

at first i thought the angle of attack would increase but on second thought no it wouldn't because you are adding power to keep the same airspeed. if the power setting stayed the same and airspeed dropped then the AOA would increase, am i wrong? the same speed is to be kept in the climb the That’s ...

Amphib 206 is a death trap

Would recommend the light speed zulu 3. Not a head vice, noise reduction is pretty good and it has a Kevlar covered cord which is nice if you’re in an airplane where it gets shut in the door often. Probably saved me a new cord... Warranty is exceptional from what I’ve heard from people who have owne...

Deceased female in the plane according to this news article. Absolutely terrible.

Says she saw a deceased female, but two shutes out of a/c??

Watching with Sound it seems like maybe loss of power? Pull up for altitude for ejection maybe?

Video of t/o and ejection

Float operators not immune either. Atleo in tofino shut down (temp) and wilderness seaplanes in port hardy is damn near. Layoffs for both obviously

I was told schools in the lower mainland had shut down...not 100% sure if that’s accurate info How long do you think this will last? when will one on one in-flight instruction resume on a normal basis? :cry: Who knows. Depends how long this whole thing lasts and how long the effects are felt on the...

I don’t believe a logbook determines what you can and cannot log based on the columns it has. e.g. there’s no specific column for floats, but you can use an empty column like the one on the right or just cross out an irrelevant one. SIM time is just mostly in an IFR environment. I’d look at the spec...

PPL harv's is pretty good. Found their CPL program was a lot of word for word the same stuff as PPL. Not sure if other places are like that but maybe something to think about

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/FAAs-Inspector-General-Says-Agency-Not-Doing-Enough-to-Stop-Bogus-Parts-from-Getting-on-Commercial-Flights-475352673.html This article says FAA let all those parts go on the 777 'as is' and no problems reported. This was from Feb 27, couldn't find any other main...

I can just imagine the number of disgruntled dockhands there’ll be if they say the batteries will be swapped out at the dock. All fun and games till someone biffs it and there’s a battery at the bottom of the harbour lol

Previous post has it right, maybe try thinking about it as static stability refers to the stability at a given point in time, i.e. does the aircraft return to original position. Dynamic stability is the stability of the aircraft averaged over a longer period. If the oscillations average to 0, it is ...

How long does a charge take? Make it pretty difficult to turn a beaver or otter around in that time frame... Some people have been suggesting switching the batteries out to make a quick turnaround but I can't imagine that being an easy thing to do quickly when the batteries will prob weigh upwards ...

If there is an operation where the distance between legs will allow this to make sense it’s probably harbour air. The most interesting thing for me is how an electric motor will hold up to the corrosion of a salt water life The legs are short enough but how fast will the batteries run out of charge...

Wonder what TC, and the public for that matter, will think about this given the recent discussion around the safety of float ops. I can't see this battery/electric power plant tech fairing too well in a crash either in the water or on land.

I agree that the logic to require life jackets is a little out there. People drown in overturned seaplanes - only 2 of 27 fatalities in overturned seaplanes managed to get out of the cabin, 25 fatalities did not even get out. If they want to improve things they should have gone with improved or add...

The mandatory egress training makes a lot of sense but the prior wearing of lifejackets makes absolutely no difference in whether you're gonna get out of the aircraft or not. Seems like a poorly thought out solution to me I did not use my egress training, it was not needed, I was ejected through th...
