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.

The carbon tax in BC has also resulted in the lowest income taxes for 90% of us. You have to make well into six figures to pay what Albertans pay in income tax. If you buy smart and change your lifestyle you can get out of paying a lot of PST and carbon tax. We also have a balanced budget. Compare ...

The company Trudeau uses for carbon offsets is Less Emissions. They even advise on their website that carbon offsets are a dubious way to help the planet, you should make an effort to reduce the fuel you burn first and foremost. And Less Emissions was founded by a good friend of Gerald Butts, Trudea...

curious, which of the later more fuel efficient variants available are a combi with a gravel kit ?

Which gravel strips has Trudeau been going into?

Environmental impact of aviation? There is a federal election happening right now, and most leaders are criss-crossing the country in relatively modern aircraft. Except for the guy who preaches most about "doing better". He's flying around in a 737-800 for himself, and a 737-200 for his costumes. Bu...

PPL students are blank slates. Their only frame of reference is their instructor. Instructors set an example on every flight good or bad and I think it is something that needs more emphasis by class 1’s and CFI Last week I was number 2 behind a flight school airplane with an instructor and student....

Is aviation really that essential? Does everyone NEED cheap flights to their all-inclusive? Should business people and government folk always fly for face to face meetings, instead of FaceTiming/conference calls? Do northern communities need instant pop and chip resupply flights? I bet 90% of aviati...

The left wing was almost Scheered off.

Oh boy, same crap pay but now based in the most expensive city in Canada.

Where do I sign up??

I landed at a northern mine strip in early spring, and almost landed on the edge lights. At this particular strip, there was a ditch on one side that paralleled the runway and doubled as a road. When the road/ditch and runway were both plowed, if you landed in the center of the gravel, you’d be very...

Cloak is clearly either WJ management, or its propaganda account. Yes because anyone that dares disagree and take an opposite point of view to you is clearly a troll.... :roll: Says the guy who couldn't even stick out his swooper job and had to leave. Don’t worry about tbaylx, he’s AC’s problem now.

If you bring too much liquid, the TSA confiscates it and throws it away, in case it's a bomb. So they throw it away, in case it's a bomb, in the garbage can right next to them. With all the other possible bombs, in the area with the most amount of people. #TSAlogic Like the time they left a pipe bo...

Make sure you tell applicants about the scheduling LOU you just added. Days off awarded on your monthly schedule that were not requested days off, are automatically grey days. Swoop can schedule for anything on grey days, and it's not paid as OT, just straight time. That explains why recent flights ...

Your feelings on the current state of flight instruction have changed? My feelings on the current state of flight instruction has not changed.

This is a merger in name only. The organizational structure and head office location clearly show this to be a takeover.

I've heard from friends that there are lots of 5T pilots running away as fast as they can.

Good luck!

If Viking was based in Quebec, we’d all be seeing the updated Buffalo in this role.
