Video shows the aircraft exiting the runway at a very high speed. After long dry periods rubber deposits can make things very slippery when it rains. Braking action in the TDZs can be almost non existent. There is no rush to vacate - slow down or take the next exit. Especially on wet/contaminated su...

Also take a look at Brexit … it happened and arguably UK is in worst shape with immigration, economy and crime today than in 2016 BREXIT was the correct decision. I remember watching smug Richard Quest on CNN when it looked like a no vote. His expression when he realised it was a yes vote made my d...

From the history books:-

India has imposed restrictions on the sale of Diesel and has increased the fuel price on 4 occasions recently. Sounds like a shortage to me. No Government will ever admit there's a problem - all good until it isn't. There have certainly been measures to delay the point at which stocks run out - the ...

An assessment of the situation in Europe:- https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-jet-fuel-crisis-energy-markets-war-iran/ But even as the European Commission reports that there are no "immediate" risks to supply, there are fears the continent is sleepwalking into disaster. Sounds about right with t...

Looks like there is no need to panic.... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstocks/why-oil-hasn-t-hit-200-analyst-discusses-the-hidden-flows-confusing-the-market/vi-AA26imTq#details You can find just as many videos saying the exact opposite. Even President Trump said the SPR runs out in a month. Th...

From what I understand the aircraft had been under modification for almost 6 months. I would expect a lot of other maintenance would have been done at the same time. The accident flight was the first flight after this was completed. First flights after maintenance require a lot of careful checks to ...

World economy through globalization. Everyone else's recession becomes your problem as well. Until our economy decouples from the world through trade and budgetary surpluses, we are equally screwed. Nobody for Canada to increase trade with, except the United States. Instead of the fantasy 'Net Zero...

Is it possible the autothrottle automatically reduced thrust before they could disconnect? I'm not familiar with the citation and whether it's equipped. Correct. This could certainly happen if the system receives an incorrect speed input This why on large jets the first steps after stabilising the ...

Interesting you refer to CPDLC: this could well be the next 'area of attention'. Due to its lack of authentication and encryption, it is vulnerable to data manipulation. And this is true for more systems (e.g. ADS-B, ACARS). The research tries to figure out to what extent all this is a threat to fl...

Are you a commercial airline pilot? For my Executive Master Cybersecurity thesis at Leiden University, I am conducting a short survey on ‘Cybersecurity at the seat of the pilot’. The research focuses on the responsibilities and crucial role of pilots dealing with cyber threats in the cockpit. Your ...

Personally, after the recent revelation that a single company in India was responsible for over 100,000 fraudulent licences and certificates in various domains, often used for emigration purposes, I pray our police system will use the obvious expertise they now have in differentiating between A and...

Hard to believe this is possible in this day and age.

Making a false statement on an application is cause for dismissal - normally very clearly stated.

Direct link to the preliminary report:- https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Documents/DCA26FA194%20Preliminary%20Report.pdf Crew was inexperienced on Type (no breakdown of 757 vs 767 hours). Not sure if they should have been scheduled together. 757 and 767 are 2 different aircraft with a common cock...

The cop involved in that one should be charged. As should the Police leadership that implemented these 2 tier anti- white policies. The Politicians need to be held to account also - being a second class citizen in your own country is not acceptable. Nigel Farage is 100% correct. https://www.youtube...

Another good thing to know to not be offensive is that Sikh men and women are allowed to carry knives onboard planes in Canada. They lobbied and were given an exemption to Transport Canada rules in 2017 for religious reasons. They just can't carry them on flights to the U.S.. Another indication of ...

Just filled up my car - C$ 3.75/Litre!

LNG reserves down to 5.8% of maximum.

I see nobody has replied. I have some suggestions:- Contact the training organisations with your requirements and see what they can do for you. Make sure that any Sim you use has been approved by Transport Canada. It is possible to designate foreign licence holders as examiners. No idea what is poss...

As a Pilot you should know your aircraft and what its capabilities are.

That should be part of initial line training.

2000 fpm required. Is that easy at 330? Might depend on the OAT. The thing is that you have a very strong incentive to climb and are tempted to keep slowing down. Best to wait.... C-GDMP, a WestJet Boeing B737-800 was operating flight WJA2194 from Victoria International Airport (CYYJ), BC, to Cancú...

Given the situation in the Middle East - not the place to be imho.

Nasty regional war about to start - consequences will be felt globally. Jmho.

When weather is in doubt, this is a good lesson and reminder to petition your dispatcher for additional fuel. Or start your diversion early, when your fuel is still above your Minimum diversion fuel. I can only imagine how the flight crew felt looking at their fuel on board and knowing they only ha...

"Gradually and then suddenly" - Earnest Hemingway. This is what a global fuel crisis actually looks like. 🇪🇺 EU: Subsidizing fuel/fertilizer sectors up to 70%. Emergency measures across all member states. 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka: Hard rationing. Cars get 15 liters a week. Motorbikes get 5. 🇲🇲 Myanmar: Odd/eve...

I can only speak of AC, but with the DB, the registered portion has to remain actuarially solvent or the company has to top it up. The supplemental part above RPP limits is wholly paid from general revenue and is at risk were there to be a shutdown, although there is some insurance built in to the ...

It's just so unbelievable frustrating, and ludicrous, and STUPID, that as airline pilots, our salaries are tied exclusively to the tenure we give to a company, who could fold at any time and not reciprocate anything. A 25 year captain at Spirit, with a lifetime of experience flying MD's, Airbus, et...
