Local pilot. The article is mistaken. The pilot is not in the hospital, he is ok.

Stay away from 15W50 in the TCM 520's. Otherwise you have more leaks, and if you have an "classic" type starter adapter, it is more likely to slip. W100 in the summer and W65 in the winter were we operate. But then again, not everybody gets do enjoy the cold temps that we do

He did have a sprinkler system set up by the gov. after the fire started. 80 km winds and a big fire are hard to slow down with a sprinkler.

A huge loss for a great family.

Thanks for the link bagbat.

Give your self at least a year, maybe two. Depends how organized you are and what the staffing level at your local TC office is like.

Went to order some Bush Hawk parts today and was told the company is in receivership and so can not fill the order. Anyone have news regarding if and when they will open again?

Could someone pm me the name of the pilot. Please.

the technology has already been invented. I'm not sure why no one seems to be improving their manuals. So far the best IPC (though still far from perfect) is the found bushawk. Its legible, its free online and a large portion of it is in colour.

Enjoying the narative already. Keep up the good writing.

By CYFS I'm sure you mean CET4 since there aren't any companies based at the MOT. Been there many times though I have never been based there. I fly the red and white 172 flying in from the south with a tool box for a quick 50 hour and no snags

Just a side note for that Robertson stol. Make sure the plane has a seaplane rudder. With the small rudder installed, the wing can fly before you have air rudder authority on takeoff.

Which lens is that Rowdy?

We were told that dispite the ammendment to CAR551 we could not use Mustang PFDs because of the definition of a PFD in CAR101. They need to be a little more organized.

Great idea. Except I would suggest you ammend the criteria a little. There are a few good bush operators who either don't have two float planes or don't have a DHC product.

Just picked up that first elusive comercial flying job. The snow has finally stopped and the sun is out. The flying is great and the view of the Kluane Range out the living room window is pretty nice too.

Here is a toast to flying safe and taking the time to enjoy each moment.

Adam,
Nice shot of the cubs. What is the box on the top of each cowl?

Top Gun,

What kind of maintenance experiance do you have? I may have just the job for you: maintenance on small aircraft and a bit of 703 flying to keep it interesting. Send me a PM with your resume if you are interested.

Beaver Fixer, If you cann't buy it cheaper else where then why not buy it from spruce?

As for the 8130, its not necessary as long as you have the conformity certificate (Statement on the invoice)
