sorry my bad I had some cut and paste issues here is the rest of the quote absolute angle of attack = geometric angle of attack + k geometric angle of attack = absolute angle of attack - k where -k is the X-intercept of the graph of the coefficient of lift according to the “geometric” scheme, in whi...

the reason I ask is when you make a broad statement like all aircraft desginers use this method but don't back it up with any proof I just was interested where the statment came from back to the topic at hand I think this kinda sums up what has been going on here its been borrowed from another site ...

I just have a quick question for dr.aero

since you make repeated references to people's background in physics and/or aerodynamics may I ask what your experience is in these fields?

I have a couple questions for anyone who works there I've search the topics on here but there is very little info out there if you preffer you can PM me

thanks

speaking of execaire does anyone know what shortlisted on the website means? should I be expecting a call for interview or did I just pass thru the basic screening level and there is much more to go?

Did anyone get good news from AC today?

Sounds about right if you look at your COM it is required to show your companies polices regarding fueling CAR 725.135 (v) see the COM isn't just useful for keeping the desk level in the crew room :D ps I'm looking up the 705 CAR's cause thats what I'm more familiar with but if needed you should be ...

short answer yes long answer I belive you need to have it all listed in your COM and SOP's but you are looking for CAR 725.40 (2) fueling with passengers on board http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/regserv/cars/part7-standards-725-2173.htm#725_40 it tells you all of the requirements in order to d...

I don't have a copy of my SOP's or COM sitting next to me but going from memory if its different by more than .02 it needs to be reported but can still be used if its over .05 it can't be used. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

Nope unfortunatly they aren't availible I'm in the land of tar sandsand big trucks. So I have a choice of shaw shaw shaw or telus as far as I can tell without going for satilite which isn't allowed in my complex (gotta love HOA's)

Just wondering if anyone has signed up to this yet.

How is it?

Good/bad?

+1 hedley

remember the KISS theory for radio transmissions

slow down on the radio having to say everything fast twice usually takes longer then having to say it once at a normal speed

anyone know what kinda experiance the people getting that calls have?

ill be in town on the 27th

I just got my NEXUS card and used it the other day in YYC took me about 1 min to make it thru US customs where as there person i was travelling with had to do regular customs and took about 30 min not a huge deal but man was alot nicer then sitting in line and definatly the best $50 i ever spent if ...

dam blabber mouths guess I guess I better pack my bags and start looking for a job I wonder if I can get sold as a part of the plane. ;) PS I havn't heard any rumours about the planes being sold and CMA didn't buy Hawkair our parent company did we are completely seperate companies and will remain so...

where you hear the rumour?

The overlay theory makes sense too bad we have no apporach desginers here to help us out

well there goes my theory anyone else have one?

The only thing I can come up with is some GPS's have trouble with true tracks so this waypoint is there so you can set up a gps track on the inbound track off the NDB in the gps. This could also work with Non IFR GPS as a back up nav. note: if you are using a gps to fly a NDB or any approach that is...

Can anyone post a scan of the plate I'm really intrested in this but I don't have CAP's for up north

I'm not disagreeing with you Dust Devil just saying what I have seen.

I actaully got given crap by a capt when I first started on a turboprop cause I was waiting for the IVSI to show positive in VMC conditions.

Lurch I think its a "SOP" that devoloped in the FTU world that you required a positive rate on two intrsuments before bringing the gear up (i know this was the rule where I trained as well as different school where my friends trained). I suspect it has somthing to do with the fear that a student is ...

Im sorry BTD but I have to disagreee with you on that one the plane I fly has static port forward of the main gear, Air Data Comupter, and an IVSI and it still has this same error during the take off roll and rotation (showing a decent for the first second or two of climb). I also dont' think VSI's ...

I think it has to do with the inherent errors in a VSI. It has been awhile since i taught this stuff but I belive as VSI has a deley of 6 - 9 secs so bascially its always telling you information that is out of date. IE so if you were climbing and started decending it will show a climb while you are ...
