Re: Horizontal Stabilizer Failure

Would a commercial aircraft maintain level flight while inverted? I was thinking perhaps trimming could help negate some of the effects of the jammed stabilizer, however I have never actually flown an aircraft so im not sure how effective that would be.

Horizontal Stabilizer Failure

Hello,

In the event of a complete failure of the horizontal stabilizer (such as Alaska 261) what options do the crew have to maintain flight, or land the aircraft? Is there any way or procedure to keep the aircraft stable?

As always,
Thanks for your input!

Re: Recent Business Graduate wanting to become commercial pilot

To the best of my knowledge, as long as you are a Canadian Citizen, you are eligible for the Sault College program.

Near Mid-Air Collision, and angry ATC

Two commercial aircraft come between 300-500 ft of separation. Insults thrown by both pilots as well as the ATC. Very interesting incident. Below is a recording of the exchange.

Overseas for RAIC

Hello,

Does anyone know if working in countries in the Middle East, or South Asia (Pakistan to be specific) can affect your chances of getting an RAIC in a negative way?

Thanks,

Do other countries generally accept Canadian licenses? Or would you have to re-do the training?

Re: Hiring Surge

I started flying when I was 14 and from that point forward all I could ever think of was that I wanted to fly for a living (Air Canada back in those days). Everything I did revolved around what would lead me to my love of aviation and after awhile (9/11 really slowed things down) I was getting paid...

Thanks so much for taking the time to write that! You are definitely right, sometimes we don’t realize how enjoyable or memorable something is until the moment is gone. Something I will definitely try to keep in mind =)

Ever considered another career and fly for recreation? The ups and downs, scummy operators, and wild salary fluctuations sometimes take the joy out of flying. Absolutely!

Currently, the job market for pilots is very good. However, I have heard that it will eventually stop. How long do you guys think this will last, and for what reason? I am going to be attending college for 3 years, and I am hoping it will still be a good job market when I graduate. Do you guys think...

Hey! I just did my first Medical, but in Ontario.

Re: Funding Options for flight school?

Sault College, and Confederation are the cheapest option. Both programs are subsidized, which means the flight training is completely free. The only thing you would have to pay for is normal college tuition, and living costs which will be partially covered by OSAP.

Re: RAIC Pass

Thanks so much for the responses everyone! It has eased my mind to some extent. Since I do not have a record of any sort, hopefully it will not be an issue. I was under the impression that if you do not get the RAIC, you can no longer work as a pilot.
