Re: How to work as a pilot in Canada and not pay income taxe
Wooah there partener - I painted the Health care system as lolypops and roses. Talk about put words in my mouth - I did not say that however I will say that each and every province (it's a provincial responsibility BTW) is better than the DR.

Re: So a pilot walks into a Crescent St Bar.....
Well you would never get away with it at the Aero Club of East Africa - the bar stewart would ring the big brass bell and the culprit would stand a round for the patrons. Everybody being equal at the Aero Club - I surmise the intent. I had a friend of mine who, when he saw a pilot type overdressed f...

Re: AVIBANK
We called them "pip" pins. Used on the seats on folding seats for a pax/cargo aircraft. Also on the removable cargo rollers to pin the rollers to the floor boards.
Can be used on a number of non-critical applications.

There are even flying museums so you are working on certified flying machines under the care and control of a AME. However - please please please avoid commercial operations. PITA PS ...

Look under chapter 20 Standard Practices pn 115 590023-1 main landing gear strut limiter
and 115-590035 nose landing gear shock strut limiter - then ask your QA guy to explain as to why they are not "Approved"

Re: It's Not Just Paperwork
I agree with the statements and understand the importance of aircraft records, but perhaps Mr Whitehead would write an article and name it for instance: "Its not ONLY paperwork" (that deems an aircraft airworthy.) For distribution to his peers at T.C. As many of us dirty faced guys on the hangar flo...

Re: Cargojet buys the rest of prince edward
When a company states that they have "good revenues" but this is "before costs" ie taxes loan repayments etc. its really a kaka statement. Sure nice to say we have revenues of 100 dollars but fail to mention we had costs of 99.99$ Income trusts are really a thing of the past after the gov"t changed ...

Re: Canada signs deal for CP-140 Aurora life extension
IMHO staying with the same basic airframe is alot cheaper than getting a new type of aircraft. Secondly if the DND get the Buffalo replacements there considering this will make it 3 different airframes with the same engine/prop combination. Spartan, Aurora, Hurc. Huge savings just ask the fellas ove...

Re: Azimuth Aviation Systems
Methinks Azimuth answered the question by not answering the question.
However he did state all work will be supervised and certified.
AMO's did enter the discussion but he stated "GA aircraft" in his initial post.
