No this is the Mark Anthony Group. Alcohol makers and importers, White Claw, Mission Hill ect.

Well first we must ask why does not Nav Canada not give descend VIA instruction on STARS and why in places like Vancouver are we given a SID to fly in our clearance but when airborne immediately given Radar Vectors to fly out to nearly Kelowna? This, one would assume increases controller workload (a...

Highly variable, the company I flew for was suppose to be 33 days On 28 days off but that rarely happened it was usually 6 weeks on 4 weeks off but on occasion I’d be away 4 months and home for a month. It just came down to the needs of the company and whether the pilot was willing. For me I liked t...

In my opinion, take the sensing job.

CPL Group 1 w/ written ATPL exams, 270 TT, 105 PIC, 26 Multi for reference Been searching for a job since August 2024, put out 60+ apps across the country, some places multiple times and still no dice. I've been looking for ground to flight options with training bonds as well, making it known in my...

Although not expressly against a regulation, a displaced threshold is put in place because of a hazard in the approach path or work on that portion of the runway. The CAR’s do state that an aircraft must be flown in a safe manner, landing before a displaced threshold could be deemed to be in breach ...

Hi Mat, I spent 12 years flying Survey missions. I think it’s a great way to start your career, multi PIC time is King, you’ll get lots of good experience and it’s a fun job where you’re actually flying a plane not just pushing buttons. The catch is you will be working in remote locations with littl...

No, it has not been filled.

Lots of inaccurate information posted here. The Chief Pilot did not leave for greener pastures and its not a 24/7 on call deal. There will be two pilots assigned to the plane. 604 flights will be flown either single pilot or two crew depending on schedule and all 704 flights will be two crew only. S...

I sure do. What would you like to know?

I’ve never worked for them, but the New Chief Pilot they got a little over a year ago is a good guy.

Here is one for you.

Digits, my first post was incorrect, we only manually transfer fuel forward from the tail as part of an abnormal checklist. The tail tank is irrelevant on a flight this short we would never use it. Left/right transfers are standard procedure and done all the time. We generally go wings to an Aux/Co...

Mid 90’s when I started to get a left seat in a Navajo was 3000-4000hrs, a King Air was 8000-9000hrs and any jet you pretty much needed Space Shuttle time. It’s much easier to break in now.

IMG_0012.png If they did rwy 21 its a fairly steep approach due to terrain, high minimums, and there is a 700 ft displacement Whats so steep about this approach? Looking at the plate altitudes you can make it quite shallow actually. Well at KEBGA you’re at 2080’ which is 2.7 NM from the MAP (thresh...

Good job that pilot! I had the left engine of FKMA shut down during certification testing for a Vmca test of this rather unusual air sampling device many years ago: Great Pictures of KMA PilotDAR. I had that pen holder in your second picture indicate I had a problem with KMA. After hundreds of hour...

Is this the same Execaire who have the Legacy/CJs in YYC? They were paying around $80k for Legacy captain when I chatted to one of their pilots this summer. Yes, for captain. Also no days off, 24/7 on call. Whoever you were speaking to was jerking your chain, I can assure you, with the exception of...

Well as the PIC of the flight you have ever right and obligation to snag a plane you think has a problem. If the engineer can’t subsequently replicate the problem they can write it in the log book as such and clear it for flight. If you aren’t comfortable with that and don’t want to fly that plane, ...

Air is supposed to flow directly from high to low if the earth were not spinning so use the law to stand with your back to the high pressure system and stick out your left arm. Buys Ballot's law is a mnemonic to help remember the effect of Coriolis effect on wind. The law says to stand with your ba...

What humans have done, and will continue to do, is interrupt the natural processes by rapidly dumping carbon in the atmosphere, which causes the planet to warm. I always find that argument perplexing. Humans are part of nature not outside of it so by definition anything we do is a natural process, ...

Sure, call it natural, as in we’re naturally speeding things up. Hope the grandkids don’t mind. No one said the earth will disappear, but we might. We will disappear for certain, as is the natural order of things. No species lasts forever. But considering average global temperatures during the Holo...
