Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
I would imagine there are many 30 second floatplane flights out there !
They are closed now but the strip still looks useable May try it some day. Paragliding is just next to the strip off the ridge line4nm from Oliver BC to Covert Farm beneath McIntrye bluff in a Taylorcraft.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
Brings back a memory of flying off the trans Canada HWY ( had to be the longest "runway" I've used ) by Jocko Point at midnight in the winter for a first flight of a Cherokee 140 ( picked it up from the Bomark missile site north of North Bay in the SILO in a hundred pieces !) Landed at the North American NORAD site ( North Bay ) without calling in due to radio problems ( pilot finger trouble ) Highly abbreviated shorter version, of course. The taxiing along the sideroad with attendant snowbanks was more interesting than the flight! I hope Mark C is not reading this

I'm trying to figure out why "non stop" is in the thread title.

Hmm, I guess if you landed on a country road 30 seconds after take-off for fuel, while on your way to destination, that flight would not count....I'm trying to figure out why "non stop" is in the thread title.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
I've also done this flight, albeit not intentionally! Peter had given me the coordinates to his place as I was heading up for a visit. But failed to mention there was an almost identical strip right next to his, also with a collection of different planes and parts laying around. I took a guess and ended up landing at Dougs. He lets me know of my miscalculation after I tell him I was there to see Peter. I quickly apologize and he tells me not to worry about it as he gives me the keys to his truck, points to Peters place and shows me the path leading directly to his house.
I returned after a few hours and made the quick hop from his strip to Peters. That was a fun day!

I’ve heard of a couple people mistaking Denny Island for Bella Bella then making the 4 mile hop to the right airport.
Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
I was beat to it. Done it in both directions.
One client once wanted to go to Island Lake. I asked him "There are 2 airports up there, are you sure?" Turns out he wanted to go to St. Theresa, but apparently I was the dumb one for landing at the wrong airport.
Why you would want to go to either sure beats me.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
Two.
Northern Quebec, saint honore airport to bagotville air force base. About 5 miles.
Mirabel airport to dorval airport. Also about 5 miles.
The northern flight took 3 minutes in a light single trainer.
The Montreal area flight took 20 minutes in a large jet!!!
Go figure.
Both in vmc conditions.

Medevac up there was fun as well. It was hard to get the patient, medevac plane and ground transport to consistently show up at the right airportSnotRocket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 7:31 amI was beat to it. Done it in both directions.

It was a challenge though to be able to log .0 flight time.
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship
