Re: Anyone flying anywhere tomorrow ?

It has been a very long week for me. I want to get out of Vancouver. So, If someone is flying anywhere and he or she likes to take me, I will help with gas. You can take me with you to any of the following destinations. If you happen to be flying back in Sunday or at the end of the day, I will come...

Re: Slowdown

Problem is if we burn up all the food, people starve, we need an engine that runs on 1-part food to 1 part ground up orphans, then the supply and demand for food will balance out in the end.

Re: Courtenay Flight Center

They do the daily rate out there with the cadets, a friend of mine got $100/day as a class 3 instructor last year... said it was pretty crazy and the days were 12ish hours... sounds like a good upgrade to get your class 3, not that great of a gig if you already have your 3. Now if it was year round....

Thanks for that Mach.28 but I guess that all of that is old news. I was hoping to hear of any new developments concerning a rumor that I heard on this site about "large" aircraft co-pilots receiving full time for there hours.

Re: Maylan Aivation

I've heard that they haven't started operations yet and some staff are already disgruntled. Might just be growing pains from trying to start something big overnight. CFS says Dunnville has no runway lights which kinda limits your working hours in winter, might be something to consider.

I keep running across guys who have gotten their Multi-IFR paid for by EI? Seems all they need is a letter from several companies stating they would hire them if they had the Multi-IFR, then EI pays for the rating to get the person employeed and off EI.

Pilot is night rated, will land at a lit airport, aircraft has all the required equipment etc. Not asking if it is recommended, I personally wouldn't want to try it unless it was a very bright moon...

It won't fly, I tried to take off from a icy runway the other day, wheels were spinning and I couldnt accelerate down the runway, so I got out, salted down the runway so I had traction, and took off no problem. Same problem, if you have ice on your wings, you wont take off because you have no tracti...

Drain out a bit of fuel, splash it on the plane... I know it wont melt this ice by itself, but light it on fire, and it will do the trick... You have insurance right? Might even get you rich again.

Runway changes...

Just was wondering what is the proper method to change active runways when in the circuit. For example your downwind left for 29 and the active changes to 11... What if 11 is a right hand circuit? How are things different in at controlled airports vs uncontrolled? Thanks for any help you can offer :)
