Re: Renaming Edmonton Internatioal Airport
Now that all the witty asides are over, I think it would be more appropriate to name Yellowknife Max Ward airport, since his start was there. Having said that, Canadian North is working out of Wardair's YEG hangar, so you have a valid point. I simply believe that the Edmonton Airport Authority has a...

Re: Disabled commercial pilots - looking for info and resour
I recall my father going for a ride with the Department of Transport for a checkride on a piper Cherokee, some 49 years ago, to demonstrate proficiency in taxiing and landing, as he had lost the ability to press his foot on the toe brakes, and the Cherokee and subsequent Piper singles had hand brake...

Re: Multi Engine-Piston PIC
Trey nice rant! While I was being facetious, it's hard to argue with most of the points you touched on. On reflection, I find that while I may permit more by a copilot in terms of flying, it is always within the context of our SOPs. As a training captain, I tend to give FO's flying that reflects the...

Re: PPC and IFR licence
Failure rates nationally are about one percent. Most check pilots look at a check ride with a simple philosophy: we don't fail candidates, they fail themselves. Most failures are on recurrents, with candidates failing due to complacency on the non-pilot-flying duties. These are generally illustrated...

Yellowknife would be more appropriate for honouring Max. That plus I like Yellowkife Airport!

Re: IFR Ride Tomorrow, any tips?
If you weren't perceived to be ready, there would have been no recommend. You know what you know now. Additional cramming won't help. Check pilots are not out to fail you. Unless you try to bullsh*t us. We ask questions like a lawyer- if we didn't know the answer we wouldn't ask the question. We nee...

Re: Upsloping/Downsloping runways
Well, before you die agony bit more, try to remember that these props on an Otter on tundra tires are 5 feet above the ground.
Oh, and without reverse, the aircraft is only going to land at a place like this once, then be turned into a chip wagon.
