The stuff in the previous posts about Weag and Round was good...also, check your PMs.

That's a metaphor for life.

The search function will be your buddy on this one. I feel that the majority of Canada's survey companies are a lot better than most of the straight aviation organizations (correct me, if needed). Simply for one reason: THEY ARE NOT AVIATION ORGANIZATIONS. Aircraft do a job for them, just like geolo...

I'm glad someone else finds it interesting.

I've been trying for quite sometime to get my hands on this documentation. We had it at my university and I was blown away with its thoroughness. Basically I was introduced to it as "If you want to know anything about icing, get with those Canadians". Same went with the Swissair 111 accident as far ...

Negative...hopefully he went on to higher altitudes (just like our guys from the previous season). I wouldn't have it any other way!!

The last thing I would ever want is an "easy" medical. Holding a pilots license is the last thing on my mind when it comes to my health. I want a doctor who will examine me in great depth to ensure there is nothing medically wrong or going wrong. The only thing I draw the line on is him having a ha...

Ah I just checked those threads, wasn't as bad as I thought, but one's enough. And we'll have more lower time guys doing our jobs than in previous years.

So, let's keep tight out there, regardless.


All the best,

Funny, I was just thinking yesterday...In the absence of any Air Regulation's whatsoever, if they just plain didn't exist, how would I fly, how would I want to conduct myself as a professional? This post is definitely a fair guideline. Nice work.

A 206 out in BC, followed by a 185, a navajo in Quebec and a coast-guard heli in Newfoundland. Been a bad week. Industry movement is great right now, but is useless if we don't slow down here. Let's tighten up and keep a good eye on eachother. Shit's going to happen, so let's not go out looking for ...

I appreciate you keeping us informed about our comrade...BUT...How about you just drop the brutal humour all together?

I think if I were hitting Dieppe or the Normandy, I'd want that guy at my side. I am thankful he is still with us. Can we task someone out in BC to keep us notified as per his progress. If he or his family require anything, I would be all for some sort of avcanada aid. best regards, Neil (also, some...

Can someone please PM me if his initials were MW?

I thought Bearskin's was a pro-rated bond and you get it back with interest at the end of the 2 year period. Please correct me if I am wrong. If we are going to debate this, lets be clear. Some are complaining about paying for training others are saying training bonds. The two are different beasts, ...

Thanks for the info folks. Definitely agree about running aircraft sans cowlings.


What a great resource you have been.



Best Regards,

Man, I always hate reading these threads-- am I making a huge mistake by just getting into this now?? I don't want to waste time and money training only to be useless in a few years... I don't think they'll be using them to haul cans of Dinty Moore from Prince Albert to Wollaston Lake. So if that's...

Greetings,

I've got a couple of IO-520s coming out of overhaul soon, does anyone have any good break-in procedures or recommended practices?

Always appreciated!


Neil

Apparently FedEx has been eyeing this concept for a very long time as well. Some of us may get to retire early!

Perhaps try ERAU. They offer extensive online/distance training and also have a full meteorology degree with an aviation area of concentration (on campus). There might be a course or two for you there.

Neil

Dusty, you are pretty spot on, it was about 1.5 Million last I read. So, all we have to do is build more aircraft like the A380.

It isn't getting any easier for anyone who is a proponent for SMS... For anyone that has read the Air Ontario- Dryden Report, I am sure you have a strong respect for Virgil Moshansky. OTTAWA–An aviation tragedy is "on the horizon" because funding cuts at Transport Canada have undermined airline insp...

I love that you called it a safety meeting...I may hold a safety stand-down to honour you.

There are a few products already out there that use GPS accelerometers to derive flight data into a digital format. The IPOD could be interesting. Beyond the typical black-box concept, comes the idea of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) and Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA), which is the proces...

That's simply incredible...thanks for sharing.
