"I find is so ridiculous that they word the questions so there are 2 potencially (sic) right answers..." Well, of course! The questions are crafted pretty craftily(!) by some people with expertise in that sort of thing. Of the four responses listed, two are usually easily identified as incorrect. N...

Hour one thousand occured forty-five years ago in a single engine swept wing fighter somewhere over Germany in battle formation with three other beer drinkin' buddies. Oh, to be twenty-two again.

Oh, what the hell. I'd settle for forty...

One of the problems with swift and terminal justice is that it becomes very easy for an individual to subvert the system for their own benefit. Another problem is that resorting to violent, immediate punishment is that those meting out the "justice" become little better than those receiving it. Reme...

We were just back on the ground from our weekly shuttle from Saint John NB to Portsmouth NH. Watched in disbelief as the the images of the impacts were replayed several times. One of our aircraft was grounded in Charlettetown for a couple of days.

Plagiarizing someone else's story is low. Double so when that original story is itself suspect...

"wow did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed???" COMMENT Nope...Mental illness is no laughing matter and it can stike any family. It is no respecter of age, creed, race, or religion. It can hit RCMP officers, military officers, and, as was tragically seen a few years ago, mothers. Bad stuff.

... if you have a good enough lawyer. COMMENT Those of you who have not been touched by mental illness, either directly or indirectly, should consider themselves extremely lucky. This lady will have to live with what she did for the rest of her life. To attempt humour at her expense is a cheap shot;...

Cat:

Is this in Canada or offshore? Although no F-100 time, I have many hours in it's predecessor. (Oh to be 20 years old again and in the cockpit of a single seat fighter!)

Googled and found the following for Level C and D: I think that A and B are probably sims without visuals and/or motion. Level C systems support basic transition and upgrade training under night / twilight conditions. Because the human visual system is more tolerant of flicker effects, at low light ...

An outstanding job....I think the engines will be OK because they're Pratts, but the props will be a different story. I don't know whether individual unmarked blades are reusable or whether the whole propeller assembly is scrapped.

Bravo Zulu!

More, Springok; more!

A question: do military aircraft have to abide by speed restrictions below 10000 feet?

Cat: allow me to extend my best wishes also. Knowing that there's someone a little over three years older than me still turning avgas into disturbed air is extremely heartening!

I raise a toast in your direction.

Check Pilot is correct. FYI, Corporate Aviation has been operating under SMS since 2003. A generic SMS guide is available on the CBAA website and is a good starting point for someone contemplating writing their manual. Many of the auditors listed on the CBAA website have experience in writing manual...

" How would the poor muffins survive without those PPC ride fees?" The "TC muffins" get to keep the PPC money? News to me. Or was that just a throw-away line? Where did PPCs come from? Like most things which TC has legislated into existence, the requirment for PPCs came from us...and the dumb thing...

Bumffs: WTF, over? You note that the GG did not use the Bible when she was sworn into office and then segue into speculating that she might be a communist, a Muslim, has alterior (usually spelled "ulterior") motives, has run from oppression in her country, is disloyal, and, to top it all of, is a co...

Just so you know: Over 95 percent of the Harley's ever built are still on the road..........The other 5 percent made it home.

Ah, I couldn't resist that.

Alright, you guys...you've just about milked that for all it's worth.

Well done, me son. You will enjoy it immensely. Don't sweat the simulator. Flight Safety is used to taking people off the street and spitting out a qualified pilot 2 weeks later. Spend a couple of hours each night into the books, get your emergencies down pat, and have fun. You will like the Citatio...
