Co jo Not to keep jumping on you man, but your not picking up what I'm putting down. The 748 meets 705 requirements. Every take must prove balanced/unbalanced field performance which means ASD is also proven. Thats not just something I heard from a guy that knows a Hawker mechanic, its a fact. :roll:

1. The tyres (British spelling...it is British, afterall) "pop" because there is little or no weight on the tyres when brakes are applied. Very rare if the brakes are used as they are intended to be used, regardless of weight...I've been to Pang in a Hawker...many times..no flats! I've only had one...

Co-joe The 748 meets balanced/unbalanced field performance as well as single engine go around performance. It's a 705 aircraft, no exemptions. The t/o weight is limited by field and WAT performance calculation. These calculations are suppose to ensure a reject prior to V1 will allow the aircraft to ...

I would have to say that prop was spinning when that happened. It's looking pretty curled up. Yea, all 4 blades are bent. Kinda odd there's so little damage to the Airbus, though. I'm thinkin he performed the overrun drill. The prop would remain in fine pitch to prevent additional and unwanted thru...

Thanks Grimey

The 748 does meet balanced/unbalanced field length requirements (the latter taking advantage of available stopway and clearway).

MLW 43000

Does anybody know the story and location on the 748 photo.

First Air and Ken Borek still carry them.

I'm sorry to hear of this loss today.

I used the Bakerfield route when I did it 8 years ago. It seemed to make the most sense at the time.

My DC's had an on going issue were the mic would freeze up and become useless. It took a couple attempts, but they are finally fixed. The last fix was no charge and my warranty had been expired for over a year.

The 748's do the YSR/YRB route now.

Voyageur Airways will operate the route on Harmonies behalf.

What are living costs like in whitehorse? rent etc etc?

Costs are pretty reasonable considering Whitehorse is north of 60. Lots of Big Box stores. A typical two bedroom basement sweet runs you about $700 last I heard. Gas is 99.9/L.

Try Alkan Air. They are looking for guys according to the job postings. I think they want 1000 hours. It seems to be a desirable place to be.

That prick is impressive. Sorry, no pics. But, the Lynden Hercules parked infront of it suddennly looks like a dwarf.... Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I would say, any time an engine FAILS to produce the power demanded of it having an adverse effect on your flight, it constitutes an engine failure.

[quote="sky's the limit"] Air North? Three years on the ramp, shite pay, and one big ole carrot, of course people are staying...

Air North. Good pay, somewhat diverse work, no bonds, a good town. Only one pilot has left in the last five years.

C172 C-FBQE April 1997 out of CYBL.

C-FRQI is at about 28000 hours. It's a good machine with a descent size pod. I've got a couple thousand on her.

It's not impossible for a 250hr pilot to get a good job. My company puts these guys and girls into the right seat of medium turbo props. I haven't heard the word insurance being raised as an issue yet.

If it is big enough to require surgery, you will be looking at about a month of down time. Just plan your visit to the doctor in the slow season. ALL hernias require an operation.. big or small. it is usually a day operation. most people can return to work a few days provided you're not doing anyth...

It was a nice place to fuel. I can't help you other than that.
