It's almost like "pdw" wrote this TSB report.

Operating an aircraft at its performance limit for the runway. Shooting an approach with visibility below charted limit. Configuring final landing flap very late. Aiming to touchdown at a point where the main gear hit prior to the threshold. Intentionally flying the approach below glide slope. Low e...

Final report is out, lots to unpack from this one:

"We need trucks on M"

"Say again?"

"We need trucks on A"

"The emergency trucks you say?"

"Affirm"

Keep in mind too that the cost of living, in particular housing, has skyrocketed on the east coast since Covid.

the gear collapse has everything to do with language issues?

fully bilingual guy born in montreal here. mostly english.

If that's what you understood from this thread, perhaps your English comprehension isn't as good as you think it is.

Sorry for not being clear with you JBI, but this is the point that needs to be made: It's funny when "Canadian/American" pilots complain about English proficiency, when they're the most undisciplined communicators in the sky, opting to use their own phrases instead of ICAO standard phraseology. Some...

Another example of poor radio work.

If you need the trucks, start with "Pan-Pan Pan-Pan Pan-Pan".

It's really not hard, and it gets the message across clearly. Especially if there's any language barrier.

Oct-June sounds like an NHL season.

Where were our F18's?

Down for maintenance?

Sounds like you work for Canadian North.

Interesting that the landing was hard enough to break the right hand main gear and snap off a wing, but not hard enough to trigger the ELT.

Evacuating at the gate, after arrival and bridging, is an unusual situation. Engines are shutdown, jet bridge is attached or in the process of being attached, seat belt signs are likely off, passengers are up and retrieving carry-ons, when suddenly an emergency develops. If the crew follows the evac...

Don't export any uranium for their nuclear power plants.

Unless the exemption gets renewed, it appears to expire on March 3, 2025.

It's a moot point as the telemedical exemption from TC is about to expire.

Trump wants rare earth from Ukraine, as payment for military assistance.

What's a resource that Canada has a lot of?

$2.57USD/gal is approx $1CAD/litre.

Where are you paying $13CAD/litre for gas?

I'll assume for most pilots that they'll start by giving half to their ex-wives, haha.

If I choose to live in a small town, far from services, why should I expect others to subsidize my life choices?

Sounds like someone is advocating for 15 minute cities.
