... Funny how things like this happen... "" ( sarcasm) ... and the days just go on "ops normal"

If you are thinking of applying to an outfit that flys here... be ready..

Safe flying...

... Float pilots... Ocean float pilots... Use your unique skills to judge your landing surface... This is our job/profession.

Fly safe... Saying no to operational pressure is cheaper than 2 wings.

Respectfully,

... Missing... The big picture.... The industry is moving and shaking... and there are many pilots finding new seats.... We could draw a connection to this and an increase of posts in this forum. The Dives provide a unique and challenging environment and there are all kinds of factors that affect th...

Pef... Well said... Fiji is a great place to have a life experience... The island is under new management... For better or for worse... And there is room to grow there. Yes as soon as you leave Fiji your dollars seem slim but it's good times while you're. There. I recently left and I miss Fiji alrea...

Hi all,

I'm looking for some useful apps for my iPhone and would like some suggestions ...

Mostly for GA...

PS... I'm not too iPhone savy...

Liking it !

Just read the sticky...

Im really interested in the progression into the ranks of the fire fighting, water bombing, and bird dogging line of work. I have some decent time, ATPL and a bush background. Im just curious to get some leads on Do's and Dont's for the road into this line of work. Preferred companies and aircraft, ...

Agreed ... Pissing matches are time wasters. CAAFI 697 672 3069 Please ask for George Thudreau,.. or Joseph Comerardy ( forgive spelling) These are the 2 Caaf inspectors dealing with TAL. True some dys are 8 hrs of duty. But as a side note in between flights relaxing with a coffee on some of the nic...

Godscrazy,



That about says it...

Polar one,. I simply stated... I... as in me... that I will not speak negatively of my time here. Im not challenging your experience nor any one else. Why is it strange to you that Ive lived in Fiji 2 yrs and only worked at TAL 4 months.>? How long have you lived where you are and have you worked th...

PEF Good call on the refs... :lol: You beat me to the punch there. In response to BH .. There is no way I advocate low wage nor do I advocate union BS. I am not the most experienced pilot on Avcanada ...but in my experience most pilots get paid what their worth and most employers get what they pay f...

Hi all, I am the exiting Pilot. There is a lot of truth to the above posts and there is quite a bit of speculation. In regards to my 4 month term at turtle... I have been in Fiji 2 years and love living and working here. The country is amazing and the people are great. Turtle has its challenges when...

Hi all, I am looking for a link or some direction to look up a plan for a flight from YVR to NAN VFR with some IF along the way if need be. As it stand I am aware of a preferred route via the horn Alaska and such and then southbound through Siberia Asia but I cant locate the site again... I am in Fi...

Hey All, Thanks for reading. I am looking to get switched onto info sources regarding the rebuild of VIN 009. Shes in Fiji and flies a bit crooked but still a beauty. I am just a pilot with no aviation diploma or engineering background so for those with a great wealth of knowledge any input for do's...

Flying into Savu Savu Airport Fiji Islands. On approach realized # 1 engine on My DHC6 would not reduce to Idle. As I pulled the Pwr levs back to 10 PSI the plane yawed right. FO calls rt engine failure!!!! Hmmmm. We did have a malfunction so climb pwr was applied and we flew the missed climbing to ...

Hope youre not thinking Im bashing KB.... They provided me with my footing in aviation. I very much enjoyed my experience there. Every company has its pitt falls including KB... But as for the experience I wouldnt have traded it for anything.

Been a bit since I worked for the red black and white but I did see their pilots at Flight safety in the sim DHC 6. In feb 09. Cant tell you what went on in the can but the fact that they are there does say something to the affect that training may be happening. As for rent at the bases I dont think...

Turtles Pilot is sticking around.... at least for now. The owner does seem to dispatch pilots very rapidly and work conditions are not as great as one may think in Fiji. Richard can be a bit "here and there" :wink: with his pilots and all staff. A guy with some good DH2 or DH3 t time would be happie...

Afirm...

GLL left rear main lost its integrity at Nasori on rwy 10. Late nov rings a bell.

Bula Happy new Year. GLL experienced a wheels down water landing at vomo. All PAX and Pilot OK. Plane ... Not so much. GLL is a great plane and is being sent back to Canada to be rebuilt. Dusty is still flying :shock: and is still Dusty. As for any other findings its all speculation until the CAFFI ...

The info above is fairly accurate. PIS is a good way to break the fiji scene. Dusty is very approachable and does require drivers from time to time. One point Id make though is the FIJI busy season runs at the same time the Canuck one does. PAC Sun hires expats and looks for decent DHC6 pilots and i...

Hats off to all the dads out there with little Bambinos and Bambinas.... Way to go fellow dads!!!! The sleepless nights ... The countless diapers... The life lessons... and the birds and the bees!!!
