I’m an immigrant with Canadian PR and a Canadian ATPL, moving to Canada next year. I’ve racked up over 2,000 jet hours as a cruise pilot with an international airline Why don't you stay at the 'International Airline' and get promoted to FO? That will give you a full Type Rating and some handling ex...

As stated previously - just advise ATC of your intentions on first contact.

This is especially important at unfamiliar airports. There may be 'local' procedures that you know nothing about.

Effective Communication can prevent a lot of issues.

Heard employee travel is blocked until Aug 22? Is this true? Any logical reason why? In the past staff travel wasn't allowed some peak weeks as the flights were full. I've seen this a few times over the years at different Airlines. Not sure if that's the case here - may be related to the Cabin Crew...

Given that it was the fuel cutoff knobs that were inadvertently moved, I assumed any new guards would be for them, not the EEC PBAs. (Talking about the 767 ASN report) The EEC switches were moved to the overhead panel on later 767s - I assume because of this incident. On the 787 these switches are ...

Not sure I'd agree - the normal sequence is one off then the other one off.

This happened on a 767 at United.

Yes, there is lots of description of the switch positions in the report. That's not my point. There is no indication anywhere that the accident aircraft switches were checked for proper function. Particularly the possibility of a problem with the lock out gate. There is no issue with the fuel switc...

Is there any reason why there’s not a standard hiring process among airlines? I’ve read on this forum some have sim evals, some have multiple interviews, some have cognitive testing, some in person interviews, some virtual etc. Are there any statistics to show doing or not doing any of these result...

The Cockpit Voice Recorder will have picked up the sounds of the fuel switches being moved to "Cut off" and later back to "Run". Backed up by info from the Flight Data Recorder (FDR). It doesn't specifically state this in the report but my guess is this is why the report contains the info about the ...

OK, you gotta remember though, the main reason why an operator wants to go easy on their engines is for their longevity; but also sometimes for fuel savings, emissions reductions and noise reduction. Reduced thrust take-offs and climbs cost fuel. It lowers the maximum temperatures in the engine - r...

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-boeing-787-dreamliner-cockpit-controls-30458013.html The fuel control switches are located just aft of the thrust levers. They are the black round switches marked "Run" and "Cutoff" You need to pull them out and lift them over a gate to switch their positions - mov...

The truck carrying the tail section drove under a large tree branch and smashed into it with the tail. It's just like the bridges in Vancouver! Just another day in Asia! I lived in this region for 8 years. The level of Chaos/Corruption/Negligence/Incompetence/Nepotism/Theft and Fraud would shock yo...

The Indian government is extremely corrupt, they will try to spin this as boeings fault. This is an extremely high profile crash. I'm pretty confident we will get the truth. Every government is corrupt. Give your naive heads a shake. You're correct - I'm not blind to that fact. However in this case...

If there was a major aircraft fault (FADEC corruption or some crazy anomaly) the FAA would’ve had an emergency AD out by now. The engine failure drill starts at 400 AGL, they got to 630 feet. Probably they shut down the wrong engine. Or fuel contamination. The altitudes quoted all appear to come fr...

I can't think of a scenario where both engines would fail at exactly the same time. If they failed at exactly the same time I can only think there must have been some corruption or fault in the FADEC system. How about this for a possible scenario? They lose an engine at (or approaching) V1. I"m gue...

Hi, I'm looking to get an official ICAO English assessment in Canada. Does anyone know who administers it? Somewhere that's officially recognized. I'm a native English speaker, but (I believe) I still need an official assessment proving that, for overseas airlines. Thanks. You can contact the Autho...

Thanks kevenv.

I know we have ATC people on these Forums.

Perhaps one of them would like to clarify (even though the correct procedure has been listed multiple times).

I think you spoke too soon friend. Romanians DID share my point of view and Nicusor Dan got elected. Anyway... back to this topic. The wheels are in motion for me to change my Canadian license to EASA. Let's see if I'm capable of passing those exams. I think I'd be content flying this for the rest ...

Looking to get a few more opinions on this to "resolve" a disagreement. Instruction: "Descend FL230, Maintain M 0.70, transition 250 knots" Do you: a) maintain 0.70 until the barber poll moves up high enough that you can fly 250kts then maintain 250kts from there onward or, You maintain 0.70 until ...

What happens when an airline that refuses circling approaches wishes to fly to an airport where that is routinely required? (DCA is one example) One option is indeed to change to circling to a visual approach. May not be possible at some airports. Another option would be for approval to be given fo...

...Then there's Romania where the 'wrong' candidates have been removed from the ballot. These countries serve as a warning - Politicians aren't listening. A revolt is just a matter of time imho... I think you need to inform yourself better, friend. You haven't a clue what you're talking about. Do y...

The Pilot was clearly in way over his head. Single Pilot IMC flying requires a high level of proficiency. That includes being able to fly without the use of automation. Too often automation is being used as a crutch - not as a tool. JMHO. As for circling approaches - they are prohibited at my Airlin...

You don't need to be in the EU to work at a European Airline.

Just meet the Airline's requirements.

Residency permits are possible (I have one since BREXIT).

airbus FCTM is pretty clear.

Go-around near the Ground.

If the PF initiates a go-around, the flight crew must complete the go-around manoever.

Don't have access to the Boeing books.
