Re: Diamond Crash

I wonder how many other airplanes were not wired correctly from the factory. On 24 November 2023, Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. issued a mandatory service bulletin (MSB), DAC1-25-05, to highlight safety issues with the DA20-C1 series aircraft and, specifically, the installation of the ARTEX ELT 1...

Re: Winter ski operating temps

I have seen a lot of home made heaters using a camping stove, ammo box, and SCAT hose. These seem to work when the planes parked overnight bringing the oil temp up in an hour or so. For peace of mind, I'd recommend you install a Tanis or Reiff engine heating system and carry a small (one kw) genera...

Re: Pivot Airlines - RCMP knew there might be drugs on the plane

This was a terrible event for everyone on the crew that was locked up and detained. When I was operating airplanes in countries with drug problems (this includes the US) we never left the planes unattended on the ramp. This seemed to deter people from placing items on the airplane that did not belon...

Sounds like the cowls were not secured before the flight, not the first time this has happened to an airplane and unfortunately won’t be the last.

Re: Is it really all that bad?

My advice to you as a student is that most of the negative comments that you see in online forums can't be vetted so you should take them with a grain of salt as these types of forums tend to cater to malcontents. For example, some people will gripe about being underpaid no matter how much they are...

Again, any employer with 15-20-25 job ads up at any one time is a red flag. It doesn’t matter how big or old the company is, nothing is expanding that fast, and the workers are out there to fill those positions at any given time. Even if there’s that many vacancies, WHY ARE THEY VACANT? It’s even g...

Re: What to do...

Lots of maintenance companies use AME’s with a pilot license for moving customers, moving parts, test flights, etc. Any inspection larger than a 100 hour on a Diamond requires a test flight. If you’re serious about getting an AME license it takes about four years. As for a CPL with ratings you can d...
