Why would any competent ME pilot allow their airspeed to get anywhere near, much less below VMC in the first place? That’s what I ask myself too as I read report after report of twins augering in after a VMC roll. My guess is a lot of ME pilots think they are competent until it actually happens.

Who cares about parachutes?

Negotiate your starting salary before joining the union and sit right seat if necessary getting paid the same. You need to attract and retain talent.

Sounds like it’s better to shut down the engine.

It’s a medevac job. What do you expect? And jets suck in BC. Terrain is too steep and unless you’re going to Dease Lake or Fort Nelson from YVR or YLW the block times are barely different for slow jets like the Citation and PC-24 after they’ve done full procedure fuckery. I do hear the jet guys aren...

Even from the one side of this story I can see where it all went wrong. I’d love to hear the other side. Something as important as reinstating an AOC after numerous issues with it is not something you can phone in. And definitely not trying to use rudimentary understanding of laws to find loopholes ...

The reason for a transition speed assignment from ATC is generally for spacing. It should be read as “maintain 0.7 or 250, whichever is less”. Some avionics are smart at figuring it out. Some aren’t and just have a set transition altitude based on normal transition speeds at ISA. But if you see eith...

“Canadians” talk about their First Amendment rights just like “Americans” talk about their Warm Water Ports.

".......That is why it is particularly disturbing to learn that the FAA is pursuing an identity-based hiring strategy that places an individual’s personally identifiable characteristics over their merit,” the senators wrote. Increasing diversity in the FAA workforce has long been a focus of adminis...

Or...ya know...follow the company's SOP. Most SOPs say exactly this. SOPs are not exhaustive and don’t replace the POH/AFM, basic airmanship, or common sense. Another thing about “control” that isn’t explicitly defined or mentioned or rarely trained. If you are below Vmc or the airplane is rapidly ...

Point is.. even in that case, power would have solved everything. You did two steps and solved the problem.. even leaving gear out isn’t an issue at this point.

Not quite. Control, Power, Drag, Identify, Verify, Feather. Are you really going to feather an engine that responded positively to power? That’s the thing about that mantra.. it’s what’s to be considered, not necessarily done. Please don’t go full power and pull the gear and flaps up if an engine f...

Who cares if you're in ground school and quit to go somewhere better It’s nothing personal it’s just business brotha You cost less than 3 turbine blades This is not very good advice in my opinion. A company has planned the ground school and matched sim partners and numbers for the class. Quitting i...

Hey all, At the point in my career where im looking to make the jump from 704 Ops to 705 Ops (Thinking AC, Westjet, Porter, etc) Is it a bad idea to send out multiple resumes to companies at the same time? I dont want to get one job offer working for WJ lets say then a few weeks later get another j...

I'm not sure why the King Air is of particular interest for roll backs. Pretty much every airplane in existence will do that. That's why you or PM as appropriate should be holding the power levers, setting friction, and monitoring power. Even levers that remain perfectly set will result in engines l...

Interesting how the company has a "Last Look" walkaround for the PIC that he did not do. If he had(as I have recommended to much criticism on this forum on a thread link below), a passenger would be alive today. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=136967 Are you still on about that? Ever...

I encounter this paradox early in my instructing career. Cessna's need carb heat always, Pipers don't. I didn't believe it because the engine in a 172 and a Cherokee are virtually identical. The reason is that Cessnas used to be powered by Continental engines which are ice magnets. When it swapped t...

And none of those are regulating your clothing, holding you indefinitely without charges or trial, or telling you what you can and can’t do with your private parts like conservatives have done and are doing south of the border.

There’s no logic to anything they say.

There are few things larger and more intrusive into people’s lives than ‘small’ conservative governments.

All PP had to do was isolate himself from Trump and his rhetoric and the “anti-woke” agenda to win this election. Basically, copy Doug Ford. But he was too fucking stupid. So are his Maple MAGA followers. Alberta will never separate. None of the indigenous peoples want to and those are actual signed...

Speculating is not investigating. Throwing out one possible cause, which can never be affirmed nor debunked, does not constitute investigating. A lot of investigating is literally speculating. The TSB has released reports with exactly what you are describing. You really think that they will be able...

And the only way to fix that carefully cherry-picked data is more taxes, more spending, and more direct government control. It’s what the USA is doing. Trump has spent massively in his 100 days. His tarrifs are a tax that Americans pay. He’s turning the US into a police state. And yet their debt is ...

Why is there no DEI in professional sports? I'm sure there are many women and minorities that would love to be in the NHL. There is! Look at all the black people in basketball, the Hispanics in baseball, the mentally challenged people in football. NHL? I can’t pronounce half their names so who know...

You forgot 2014 when crude oil crashed, 25% was wiped off the dollar, and Harper had to hide in a closet facing the blowback of his fawning for American jingoism.

lol. Carney IS the moderate. He’s what the conservatives should be. Just remember.. this is STILL on the CPC’s website. 65.
