Re: IS ATC Your Best Bud?
Conversations online can be interesting, and tone is difficult to interpret. In your original post, for the first situation, "I said no three times, the last time rather firmly. I'll get back to you." is different than "I'll advise when I can go back on course, I require to stay on th...

Re: IS ATC Your Best Bud?
ATC has been very helpful to me over the years, but it’s a 2-way street. In your first example, just saying “no” is fairly useless. Telling them why, such as “unable, that heading will put me into weather, I could do (...) instead” would help them plan and problem solve with you. Is ATC my “best bud...

Re: VIDEO - Aftermath of Fortunate Playground Emergency Landing
Pretty good result considering the obstacles, clipping a fence, and landing in a smallish empty field next to an empty playground next to an empty closed school.

Re: Air Canada is in bad shape
Earlier this summer, the Jetz planes were running the yyz-yul-yyz route.
So far this year on my deadheads, I’ve ridden in the 787, 220, Jetz machine, regular 320, and embraer.
The newer aircraft/interiors are noticeably nicer, but overall AC provides a nice product.

Re: IFR Comm Failure before Approach - NIZUS Question
Yes and no ! You've been given the clearance to descend to 3000' and intercept on present heading and clear for the approach...and then comm failure ! So ATC calls you back for acknowledgement, you can hear ATC but you can't transmit ! :) I know it is far fetched ! “While on your final vector, you ...

Re: IFR Comm Failure before Approach - NIZUS Question
In real life, how would you know you've had a comm failure? You've been given the heading and altitude to intercept the localizer, the next instruction you are expecting is to switch to tower/mandatory frequency. In the real world, you would intercept the localizer at 3,000 and await instruction to ...

Re: Don’t put money upfront.
Sounds similar to the fiasco that was the Career Academy School of Aviation (CASA) in Halifax back in the 90's.

Re: P180 job ad: "don't apply"
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...

P180 job ad: "don't apply"
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...

Re: AC and WJ to Start Using Middle Seats Again
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...

Re: Where is our union?
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...

Re: Flying to YUL
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...

Re: Where is our union?
