Certainly far better than someone who knows nothing about them concluding it probably doesnt pay enough anyway. Let's be honest, single pilot mountain flying combined with minimal support, should be paid lots. By all means, I'd love for my assumptions to be proved wrong. Make them sign a bond to re...

Nice message in this job ad: If you are recently laid off by a major or regional airline as a result of the current pandemic and have expectations of returning to your previous employer please do not apply. Then again, a single pilot 703 turboprop job in the mountains, without maintenance or support...

It's the inconsistency that makes no sense. We are told constantly to socially distance ourselves, minimum 6 feet/2 meters apart. There are red lines painted everywhere to separate us, every second seat in the airport terminal is blocked off, YET magically we can sit next to each other on an airplan...

Has there ever been a confirmed case of Covid-19 transmission in an aircraft? Considering the current concern of asymptomatic carriers, I'd say that it's extremely difficult to prove how any case has been transmitted. But with 10 million cases and 500,000 deaths worldwide, I think it's a safe bet t...

As others have said, YUL is still very quiet right now. There’s only one runway in use, 06R/24L. Assuming that you are parking at an FBO, the taxi route should be simple. When in doubt, stop. They’ll notice you’ve stopped, and offer progressive. Don’t forget to leave your transponder on, until engin...

The media will likely rip to shreds any organization that publicly questions anti-Covid measures or the government imposing them. Today is a classic example of this as all the media outlets seemed to be running with the: oh my gawd can you believe AC and WJ are selling the middle seat again? Who do...

The captain mistakenly believed the approach was legal.

The captain was also the company chief pilot.

Allright, let’s wrap up the investigation. We’re done. leftoftrack found the cause of the accident. Phrased a little differently: Arguably, what should be one of the best trained pilots in Canada, crashed a very well maintained aircraft, after experiencing what is most likely the most trained failu...

Absolutely terrible. Watch and listen to the departure end video. 20 sec in there is a "pop" sound fo...

But Buffalo is still safe because they haven’t killed anyone. That means all those annoying things like CRFI, minimums, and approach ban doesn’t apply to them. Gravel runways dont have a CRFI. Just a surface condition. That isn't even right half the time. Not entirely true. CRFI’s are published at ...

Only 2 times you can be absolutely certain of the fuel quantity.

Does anyone else feel that the relationship between pilots and ATC is a bit different in the USA? Seems like I've heard/seen/read about lots of cases where pilots are "scared" of or intimidated by ATC. I also feel like every time I've flown into US Airspace that center conveys a bit of a different ...

This thread is as dumb as the Teterboro Lear thread.

I am not sure if the rules changes. It use to be if you were short a flight attendant then you were restricted on number of passengers. When the flight attendant ratio changed from 1:40 to 1:50, that's when the rule changed. At the older ratio it was based on passengers on board, at the new ratio i...

Must’ve been a training captain then?

When I checked the Metar last night it was 85G//. I would assume the // means to high to record but I’m not sure. Either way 85kt sustained wind is quite impressive.

I think the double slash is for “estimated”.

The wind measuring equipment was blown away.

Why rely on an aviation forum? Go to RAC 9.17.1: With respect to altitude corrections, the following procedures apply: 1. IFR assigned altitudes may be either accepted or refused. Refusal in this case is based upon the pilot’s assessment of temperature effect on obstacle clearance. 2. IFR assigned a...

What possible information could they need when the transcripts are available?

I assume they are suing everybody involved, so maybe this is info for their lawsuit?

At least they grounded it, instead of slapping on a bandaid and going flying.

With 20/20 hindsight, this was a failure prior to engine start. Always plan your path ahead of time, with particular attention to jetblast. It’s called “airmanship”. The choice between blasting the larger crowd, or the few random people plus an unsecured fence, should’ve resulted in a no-go decision...

Some 737's have automatic pitot heat now.

Not to hijack this too much, but have you noticed how most crew riding in a shuttle don’t wear their seatbelts? I find this equally odd, especially when we are hurtling around the streets of Montreal....

Sounds more like a pissing match between KFC and Flair, and possibly some poor accounting on Flair’s part.

KFC giving notice to collect $200K in 5 days, or else, when Flair still owes them $4M in leases?

Something else is going on.
