Good info above, thanks. What's takeoff flaps for a Jetstream, and will it climb without any? A flap zero takeoff is an approved procedure. To do this changes the numbers a little. Essentially you can trade a longer ground roll for a better 3rd segment of climb. A full flap takeoff is not in anyway...

I know but the best way get information online is to just blurt out things confidently and wait for someone to correct you. And …. Placed on the ignore list. Thanks for your original post, John. Absolutely spot on. It was either cold side, or out all night with heaters inside. And, yes, they were w...

You are SO wrong. The airplane was in the cold side of the hangar. De-ice sprayer was standing by and the crew were observed climbing on ladders doing a tactile test just before closing up. NWAL has some issues but they are competent at operating in the North. I know but the best way get informatio...

The plane was pulled out of warm hangar into falling snow. There was a delay waiting for 3 passengers to arrive. When they took off the wings and/or tail were contaminated. The reason they want the name out of the news is they are worried about the deceased passenger's families and employer coming ...

“Has the Captain of this flight been identified in the media ? Can't find anything. Seems odd that it has not been reported.“


His name is being withheld at his family’s request.

“Ok kids…. Keep going like this the moderator will turn off the Play Station and give the unruly children a time out. As it stands now there is conflicting info on number of passengers and crew, however been confirmed there are fatalities.” As someone who has been flying since the mid 80’s I’m not t...

Jets are not safer just different risks. The miracle on the Hudson is an example.

But yes in the event of an actual total failure of the engine you would likely be more stressed in a PC12 than in a BE02 …….. Or the failure of a prop or gear box. The engine itself can remain running and you have hydraulic pumps and generators. But no thrust. Turbines and 2 of them. Once you open t...

Maybe it a because it’s half as likely to have an engine failu...

Nobody's simmering dude. I'm just stating the facts. its easy to pretend that Encore doesn't exist and that position reductions at mainline = joining the bread line but that's just not true. And yes people certainly have every right to choose being unemployed over taking a downgrade to Encore. But t...

It'll look better with some vortex dissipators and a big ol flappy gravel protector on the nosewheel. No gravel kit for that bird. The high bypass turbines preclude it. It is the reason that the -200 is still in service there. The JT8D’s are the only engine approved (on the 737) for gravel ops. Yes...

By the time you’re there, you’ll probably be out of the flightlevels and redline nowhere near a critical Mach. I think it would have to be a really really cold day for it to happen. Could be but my point remains that there’s a secret, un-published limitation waiting for you out there. I’m sure some...

Flight_student think of the briefing as the lesson and the flying as lab time to prove the lesson. First you do the theory and then the practical.

What were the hour requirements to go to Jazz or Porter 10 years ago? Anyone remember? 15 Years ago you needed anywhere between 3500 and 5000 hours. And it was WAY more than that in the ‘90s. Hopefully we won’t regress That far but I think the days of 1000hrs and away to the airlines are gone for a...

I wish you the best but this we are dealing with now is like 10 times worse than 9/11. :( I agree. I’ve been flying since the mid ‘80’s. I thought the couple of years following 9/11 were pretty bleak. There were a lot more factors involved in the down turn than just the terrorist attack but the cata...

Are there any airports in Canada east of Montreal with 2 runways that don't touch? Other than maybe something with a parallel grass runway..?

Simple. You don’t. The airspace is uncontrolled up to F/L 180. That means that you don’t need nor can you get a clearance or any kind of flight following in that uncontrolled airspace. IF you're heading into Greenlandic controlled airspace (which begins at FL60) then you need a clearance into contr...
