Re: Unleaded gas approved for ALL piston engines (?)

So if it's now a "blanket approval" and no longer requiring an STC for a range of engines and airframes, this makes me think of all the engines that were certified with W100 / W80 oil were able to use Aeroshell 15/50 or Phillips X/C w/o an STC when those oils were introduced. I guess they (the FAA t...

Re: DHC-3T Lost in WA Puget Sound

As a former cdn aircraft, I would think it would already have complied with the ad prior to export.? It would probably depend on whether the Walther STC / installation was accomplished before or after it was exported to the US. Also whether it was installed in either Canada or the US whether the ve...

Re: DHC-3T Lost in WA Puget Sound

Dan Gryder is a fucking idiot, but it's hard to disagree with him. There's a reason why Canadian Otters have two linkages on the trim tab. Reading a bit about the AD that applies. It appears that the initial AD was released that required an additional push / pull rod on the servo tab (not the flap ...

DHC-3T Lost in WA Puget Sound

Operated by NW Seaplane, not Kenmore Air. Looks like a GE / Walter engine'd machine. Very high rate of decent before impact per FlightRadar24. Bummer. https://www.flyingmag.com/1-dead-9-missing-in-floatplane-crash-near-seattle/?spPodID=030&spMailingID=10025921&spJobID=206333902&spReportId=MjA2MzMzOT...

Re: Boat Harasses Beaver

That wasn't a prop strike. That happens daily on seaplanes, and isn't really an issue. This. A blade may have suffered some water abrasion, certainly not good. But unless a blade is damaged (bent), unlikely it's a "prop strike" in the sense of needing an overhaul. But, I sure would be pursuing the ...

Boat Harasses Beaver

Apparently happened in Halibut Cover AK south of Anchorage today. Word seems to be that the boat driver is a local crazy woman. Scary.

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...

5. The pay is way, way more than double Canada by time you factor in benefits, taxes, buying power of the USD, and the pay rates at the US carriers. First year Captain at a ULCC will out earn, or come very close to the most senior airline pilots in Canada if you factor in the full circumstances. Ta...

Farmer here. I'm 120% all about regenerative agriculture and getting the world off of synthetic fertilizers. But if you cut nitrogen fertilizers by 30% in 8 years, you WILL see widespread worldwide famine, and in North Americans' case at least, an increase of the cost of food from about 9% of total...
