Re: Pathetic Pearson Airport
What Pelmet may be trying to say is this: We are getting tired of taxpayers money and money put into aviation infrastructure being used for other purposes or being wasted or outright criminal misuses! The NDP and greens were adamantly against pay-to-play dinners and golf tournaments and vowed to ena...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
Of course, there is this story, amusing and I would not bet my 1987 pinto on whether there is an ounce of truth in it ! :lol: A pilot has dished the dirt on a former colleague who almost flew into the White House and dodged “UFOs” in the sky but somehow managed to avoid losing his job. Former pilot ...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
What was Sunwings union response to the drunken foreign pilot fiasco? We do not want any infringement on our pilots personal lives! SO, A pilots personal life is more important than 200 lives he has authority over? A pilot is , by law, to be not under any impairment, especially drugs or alcohol, so ...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
From: Jim I feel that politics should be left out. It clouds the issues, and causes un-needed "turbulence". I am sure that when either of you were pilots (I am assuming that "Editor" is or was a pilot) that you did not stand at the front of the aircraft, and promote your politics upon the passengers...

The . Sisto affair: Defending dangerous pilots In October, 1947, American Airlines Captain Charles Sisto hitched a ride on an AAL DC-4 cockpit jumpseat, from Dallas to Los Angeles. For reasons beyond the comprehension of rational minds, he thought it would be a great joke to engage the controls gust...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
There is an old saying that goes something like this : "Those that are not capable, competent AME s become management " but what if there are no positions for the AME in management or the incompetent pilot after a third failed test and co-pilots telling the chief pilot that he is incompetent? Withou...

Re: Soft-Field Landing and the Flight Test Guide
A rookie mistake I made once was to land on the edge of a sand island in the Mackenzie river ( I was previously landing on the edge of the beaches in Tofino ) Well, this was the exact wrong thing to do ( needed to land in the centre away from the water ) I went down quickly after stopping and had to...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
I am 110% in favour of a non- punitive investigative structure , it has LONG been known to increase aviation safety as compared to a 3rd world knee jerk reaction of finding blame and closing the books !!!! What I am NOT in favour is having investigators going out of their way to find fault with ever...

Re: Soft-Field Landing and the Flight Test Guide
IF you know you are going into a soft and short field' LOAD the aircraft to its aft C of G limit . ( ballast if necessary ) That way, you can land slowly , touch down on the mains and KEEP the nosewheel off the grass until it is PARKED using power as required ( If you are good enough ) Ask me how I ...

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
In school, Often there is no failing grade and in one case, the students get to choose their grade! So why cant we have this sort of modernism in the cockpit?

IF lack of a proper TOD briefing happened and IF fatigue was a real issue THEN WHAT would prevent the pilots from making a third mistake and botch the go around?

Re: SOP to land with 10 degrees of flaps in 172?
One of the easiest aircraft to fly in the history of mankind and we cannot agree on flap settings ! Hmmm, Do the students who snap the NW off and flip her on its back get a passing "satisfactory" for their "attempt" in this snowflake, blameless, safe space, PC, leftist, no-fault new-age society?

Re: AC Lining Up with a Taxiway SFO...?
Within 15 minutes of this incident, ATC, FAA, AC would know of the near "miss" and IF there was a procedure to follow to ESTABLISH whether this event constitutes an incident where-in CVR data must be retained, then there would not be any overwriting. Let me suggest the system is not there yet. The C...
