Re: Research Points to Low Risk for COVID-19 Transmission Inflight

Stop. These facts go against the panicdemic fear mongering narrative that the 24 hour news cycle perpetuates. Into the memory hole it must go. All ranting aside this goes to my experience. 3 flights since March 2020 and me and my family are healthy. But we “could” be asymptomatic. And our numbers “m...

Re: Buying vs Renting

Why yes Dar i totally agree with you. But as a guy of a certain age gets called out by a child that has some issues taxiing a plane without hitting a fuel pump i take umbrage at it. Besides with all my bandying about i am sure my hurtful post will be deleted by the moderators to keep anyone from fee...

Re: Private aircraft import

God. Would it be worth the trouble to import a plane at all? It would have to be some smoking deal. Is a plane that is 30-35% more in Canadian dollars more economical than any other Cherokee that may be for sale in here in canada?

Re: Another Crash in BC

GPS trackers are “fail-safe”. They leave a trail of breadcrumbs that ends when the unit is destroyed or electrical power is removed—and it’s likely going to be close to the crash site. That's fine for super wealthy elite 1% guys. What about us po' folk? Those units are like a hunnerd an fitty bucks...

Re: Flight training with masks?

I didn’t claim to be an expert i just stated my experience with 30 years in the field. Understood. You're a brave soul who won't be told what to do. You still didn't say what makes you skeptical of masks. Nothing, I guess. In my field. We put masks on sick people to keep them spreading the virus. N...

Sewn masks? Cloth masks? Maybe we should just pull our shirts up over our faces? Not a fan of a mask and due to what I do as a first responder can not see the benefit of one. Maybe some responsibility on the personal level? If you’re sick don’t get into a confined space with another person. That inc...

Re: RCAF reserve as a second job

You may as well give up on the cadet program. This summer’s training is cancelled. No gliding in the fall. And next year’s programs will more than likely be chopped too. My son got his glider wings las summer and had the ppl scholarship awarded to him only to have everything end. And anything we’ve ...

Re: Ottawa VFR Sightseeing

I came across from Kamloops BC to NS last week. We flew the Toronto Corridor at 1400 feet the controllers were great. We could have gone lower. We then flew to CYRO with flight services. No worries straight into the CYRO talking to the Ottawa terminal. We had no issues coming or leaving the next day

Re: Hanging up the headset... anyone done it ? Anyone thinking of it?

Why has nobody, as far as i can see anyway talked about switching to a job for Nav Can as a FSS or a controller? Is it that hard to get into? Are their age limits on applying. Hell i have 30 years as a firefighter and i am 51. I’ve thought about a change to FSS or something similar lately.

Anyone wondering how and if they have an actual plan to deal with the inevitable backlogs this is going to create. And how we will be able to fly when it already took over three or four months on a good year to get stamps, endorsements, ownership transfers. I remember in 2016 it took 195 days to get...
