Do you people know how many Canadian pilots that are flying in other countries? We are sought after and welcomed there with open arms,and treated better there then here. So please return the hospitality to these Contract pilots. They are just trying to make a living like the rest of us. And trying t...

As long as the blanking plate does not leak , the line is caped and you have approval to run with out it . There will be no damage to the gear box.
I have 25 years of Maint experience on the plane to back up my claim.

Came from Flight Safety this morning and passed the new Voyageur recuits training on the Dash 7.
I felt both sorry and a shamed with them.

I am looking to get a Challenger 600 series endorsment for a contract.
Other then Flight Safety is there another place out there offering the course at a resonable price?

King Air is a pig on one engine, keep the gear up and flaps as long as possible if your doing your ride.
Also stay high and fast.
I have 2700 hours on it and those are the rules I lived bye.

Ran into the same problem.
As far as I'm conserded, shoot the approach.
If Atc says you can go for it,the chances of mising a ILS approach is rare.
Stop worrying about intrapment,you need a GD transport Guy to figure the Reg's out sometime.
I made it in with a RVR of 1200 and my ass didn't even Puker.

Sounds like there is some money to be made here. What are they paying there contractors now?

Did they have there interviews yet for the new hires?

Hey Doc
Was that the 748 in Pang that lost the nose gear in 1991?

Hey Phly.
Any word on the 400 course yet?

Makes me feel good that my Taxes are being used to train the cocky little shit how to fly. The only saving grace is, when they come out of school they know everything so it cuts down on training cost.

Jesus! here we go again!

The Fantasy's are flying now." pardon the pun"

Come on lets have a poll, All people who had sexual relations,on,around or in an Airplane put there hands up.
Oh, And I should state "with someone else!

About 140 hours were pic the rest was copilot time.
Your right tho it all depends on who you talk to at TC

I Had about 1500 hours flying European and American registered aircraft when I went to get my ATPL and I had no problems with TC. They never ask to see my Licences to fly those aircraft. They just wanted to see my Canadian licence. That said,I had Validation from the foriegn country,s to fly those p...

WHy the rewire? Did the AC flip on the Water? Are the wires contaminated with salt water?
If you dont have too, don't, If you do runaway, far away

Did a 6 month Maint Contract in Abu Dhabi a few years back, Hot as hell but I had A good time, Conditions were good and the pay was ok.
Just be prepared for the Heat 50 degrees C

Just A few corrections on the times there, For the Twin Otter all you need is your basic commercial multi IFR , For the king air the more time the better but they take people with 500 hours or more. ability to speak French is very benificial. We do take people from Dispatch and from othere areas of ...

32 fo HS 748

The Airplane is not complex, in fact its very simple, all tho the wireing can be a pain in the ass some times. You have to understand that in Canada most people serve there apprentiship on this airplane so people know it quite well. That said I've been working on the twin for 22 years from the Artic...

I,m looking for contract work in the Toronto or Hamilton area. I have 22 years experience, Boeing 727 and Dash 8 endoresment plus a few more that don,t apply to the area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Don't worry , 3 times in the last 15 years the machine spit out that I had a heart attack, Once 2 days before going overseas.
