Nothing justifies the returned punch. If he'd stayed calm, the police may have arrested the gate employee.

I don't understand why this comes up so often on this forum. Because flying is expensive and pilots are cheap. Isn't this covered in CPL ground school? I'm sure it is. But it'll be covered as "this isn't legal, except for these exceptions" and what they take away is "there are exceptions" and then ...

Would you trust the average gas jockey that answered the phone to know that for certain?

He was probably too busy looking at his parent's (or girlfriend's) house to tune the radio.

None of whom received compensation in contravention of any regulations. They were *volunteer* flights.

I remember a small airport in the States where they had a "US Customs" circle painted on the ground where you would park your aircraft while waiting for them. You were allowed to exit your plane but not go outside of this circle until cleared one way or another by Customs. Bellingham has a box pain...

Hmm that airplane was getting around.... It was based in Ontario until last year, then has a new owner as of Dec 31 and based in the Lower Mainland of BC. The registered owner wasn't on the plane when it crashed, and it doesn't seem like any of them were related to her. So it's possible the plane w...

Its confusing because in the office there will be a phone with a direct line to CANPASS. So why would they have that phone there, except for the purpose of calling CANPASS? For people who don't have cell phones. With my phone paired to my headset, I don't even shut down. I call once I have my groun...

That's what they do. You have some time period (24 hours or a week or something) to supply a copy.

So is 01/19 the shorter of the two runways there, not having a lot of issues now? I haven't been there in a few years, but if memory serves me right, 01/19 is about 2000' long, and approximately 500' shorter than the now closed 07/25 runway. If the shorter runway isn't having even more problems, I ...

If there's nobody there, do you have to wait at all? Call CANPASS when you land and they'll give you your clearance number and you're good to go.

I have a box of thumb tacks that I could donate to their route.

There's no such thing as bad publicity. Red Bull's name is all over the news.

You can see the same in an airplane with an ADS-B 1090ES (or dual link) IN receiver.... they can frequently pick things up from much further away than they really have any business doing. Yep. My Stratux has been amazing. I regularly have weather traffic (broadcast from US ground stations, not just...

I believe that it came to a very sudden stop, not in the direction of flight, and a wing was ripped off. I can imagine fatal deceleration forces. That was my interpretation as well. Right wing gone, fuselage kinked to the right behind the passenger compartment, and cowling crunched on front passeng...

By and large, the ADS-B data you see on FA comes from a massive network of private ground stations. Many are just an antenna on some guy's house, connected to a PC running the right software and uploading the the FA servers. ADS-B works way better at long range, with very minimal ground infrastruct...

- FlightAware , FR24, ADS-B Exchange, etc all use private ADS-B ground based receiver networks to feed their sites... they don't have access to ATC data directly -for private use, the Aireon space based ADS-B data is available through a few channels - primarily FlightAware , who is their main comme...

It does seem to depend on line of sight though, low level data does not get displayed. I'm wondering if the 2 second resolution will still be achievable if everything goes through satellite. Define "low level"? My track above has me on takeoff within 100m and has my low approach on departure down t...

Call once a month and ask how it's going.
