I ‘ve always tied a rope on the front strut that was long enough to go past the rear strut & the rear rope was long enough to go around the front strut & sit on the inside of the strut just past the rear float strut mount,both ropes having a knot on the end.I always grabbed the rope tied to the fron...

If there’s a Real Canadian Superstore in your area try asking if they do passport photos.

I’ve held a cat1 for about 25 years,renewed without issues end of June & heard nothing until I sent them an email in December; got an email back next day saying it was just processed & here’s the bill. Pacific Region.

Are there any RCO or DRCO’s that can be reached in the air prior to letdown?

I’ve used those in remote areas of BC to close flightplans.

A346 Dude;

Post was about dispatch giving you as much information as they had - in the earlier days some at dispatch thought they ran the airline.
First incident was PWA in the early 70's,second incident was CAI.
You are right though both have long disappeared.

Daryl

Not related to the overrun but related to dispatch reliability from an airline captain friend of mine; He was on his way out in a 737-200 & upon reviewing the dispatch info found that he was 8000 lbs light on fuel & requested the fuel be put on board before he would allow pushback - dispatch told hi...

Another hedge fund manager making it look really profitable so they can set up a huge dividend payout & then walk away & let it fold.

Congrats Garth,you’ll enjoy the ifr side.

Daryl

You probably already have this,from this months cfs.

I had a friend once that was racking up the dual & was pissed at how many hours she had without seeing any solo time in the future,she asked the chief flight instructor to evaluate her & tell her what the problem was - he watched her for the flight & noticed that she couldn’t see properly so he got ...

Every examiner is different,in my experience there will be failures so be ready to figure out hold entries without the help of the 750 & the 600.Also be able to fly the hold & approach without the autopilot just in case. Best part is once you pass your renewals can be done in a redbird without havin...

You could always call the doctors office where you got the medical and ask them who they recommend. During my last cat 1 medical I asked my doctor if I was missing anything & he told me that if I did transport would send me a letter - turns out I missed a hearing test & they requested one.A quick ca...

You can have a whole rack of radios & if they’re not turned on it won’t prevent anything. Back in the early 80’s I was landing at Nimpo & even after all the calls some idiot flew right underneath me without saying a damn word.I did the go around & then after landing tied up behind him at Duncan’s do...

Always have worn life jackets & so have my passengers in my 185,you don’t have to wear them if you don’t want to - but you won’t be getting in my plane.
Full briefing on doors,windows ,seat belts & life jackets prior to entry for every flight.

Cessna 185 on wheels,Pitt Meadows to Saskatoon direct - 5:12;vfr.

Had a flight with one stop ;Halifax to Montreal,then Montreal to Sault St Marie,same 185,ifr.

No autopilot.

Daryl

It uses radar,were you squawking a discrete code?
It shows all my ifr flights & all my vfr ones that I’m issued a discrete code.

Daryl

I ran into this when going from straight floats to Amphibs on my 185,first insurance company wanted 25 hours with an instructor.Second insurance company wants a checkout until competent with a pilot rated commercial or higher & completely familiar with aircraft type in it’s current configuration(can...

If you are anywhere near Boundary Bay pro offers an ifr refresher once a month & a 3 day prep for the atr,I am sure that many other schools offer similar ifr refreshers & update classes to assist you,might be worth checking them out to see if it might be worth for you.

Daryl

Perhaps the current copa management could contact previous former members & ask them if with the leadership change they might be interested in giving it another try. Once people have a good reason to leave an organization they tend to not return,especially when they clearly state the reason & are ac...
