Whose standards? Yours or Airworthiness?

This job does not 'pay like sh*t.' You come across as someone who didn't have the skills to make it in the industry and got weeded out fairly quickly. It happens. So now you come back here venting about how horrible the industry itself is. But you wouldn't know, you got weeded out. I agree. Most gu...

Rookie. So what are your thoughts on aerobatics? Ever complain about the unnecessary risk of flying so close to the ground inverted or any of the other maneuvers that that push the limits of aircraft and pilot? By your logic that is reckless and stupid.

Although, I didn't know the young man directly, we have a few mutual industry friends. One of those mutual friends witnessed the accident. The fellow AME who passed away, was flying into camp for crew change. He was not a forestry worker as the media has reported. The record for these float plane op...

Here is a question I have a hard time coming up with an answer for. We know there is a difference between aviators oxygen and medical oxygen, but where do i find the CAR or anything stating what is to be used. Is there even such a document?

Heard on good knowledge the weather at the time was shit in that area. It was a guy and his girlfriend on board. The Murphy Rebel was based out of Hope.

Rumor has it they had refueled out of barrels and those said barrels had water in them.

I was talking to a mutual acquaintance this past summer, and he said Cat Driver was doing good. Slowing down a little.

Read Car 551.02 and Advisory Circular (AC) No. 571-024. What your trying to do is install a Non TSO part. If you can determine and have it signed off accordingly to part B of Car 551.02 that the switch you would like to use is "safe" Then I would guess you could use those switches. I would refer to ...

"Training bonds" 🤣🤣🤣.... 2) For those of you dumb enough to have signed one, not to worry, they're not legally enforceable for various reasons. Just quit and move on to a better job. Oh really montado? https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bccrt/doc/2018/2018bccrt915/2018bccrt915.html?searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAN...

From TSB...... C-GRCA, a Cessna 152 operated by AFS Aerial Photography, was conducting a photo flight west of Lethbridge, Alberta (CYQL). After approximately 5 hours of flight time, the engine (AVCO LYCOMING, O-235-L2C) began to lose power and the aircraft started to descend. The pilot adjusted the...

From ANC010. For the purposes of this notice"flight and engine controls" includes all controls by which the propulsive force or flight path of an aircraft can be altered, and includes both primary and secondary controls. In my opinion, a propeller would be considered a "propulsive force". In the ca...

I worked at that place a few years back for about a month in the winter. The " Quebecer" is originally from Belgium. He is a good guy actually, just trying to keep his head above the water like the rest of us. Has a family to take care of and means well. I couldn't take it anymore after a month beca...

I feel for you, although the circumstances were different, I left a company many years ago after finally having enough. I commuted for 1.5 hrs each way for 5 years after I left. The drive wasn't all that bad and I eventually found another company only 45 minutes away. Fast forward to today and I do ...

The “good fit” is a very loose and dangerous term coming from a prospective employer. The complaints may be valid and a chipped shoulder/attitude problem is relative to management/ownership expectations (which should be extremely clear in the interview process). If you expect guys to be on call 24/...

Yes the pay is attractive enough, that we have guys asking if we are hiring in the maintenance side. We are very selective on who we hire mind you. They must be a good fit. We would rather work short handed, then take on a guy with attitude, chip on his shoulder, or just a plain ass complainer. Noth...

Yes lean is a good descriptor, We are fortunate we have a couple guys in our company who are coin operated and willing do longer shifts. I myself did a couple shifts of 3 weeks just to align with family commitments this spring/summer, but the standard 2 and 2 is pretty much written in stone. If we w...

We have been flat out since May on fires. Lots of Snowmen days. Done about 400hrs. I know of quite a few machines by various operators having been parked for 5 days due to pilots having to reset. Definite shortage of qualified pilots. We have managed to stay crewed maintenance wise.

Young man leaves behind an expecting wife. He has only owned the aircraft since June. I feel for the families of all involved. https://www.gofundme.com/f/willard-kirk-mealey

You may have inadvertently given Ray the last names of the people in question, might help with the search.

Hahahaa, my mistake. Didnt see the . But hopefully the last names help a bit.

Sure your not talking about Karen Kronlund? She was CFI when I worked there in 1988-89 as a wet behind the ears apprentice under Steve O'Donohoe. If I remember correctly she was quite tall and slender. She had a funny way of saying the call sign on the Seminole. Mike Victor Victor. She would emphasi...

Cost of parts in general aviation are rising significantly. The tube life seems to be hit and miss. The cost of tubes now are as much as the tire itself. A standard tire and tube replacement for a 172 for example, using the cheapest options, would be about 290-300$ combined. Add tax and one hour lab...

How could the pilot lose control of the tail rotor on the ground? From the gossip I have heard, The engineers were balancing the short shaft and some sort of failure with the yaw compensator and hydraulic system occurred. Balancing the short shaft you are no where near the tail rotor, but that's no...

They were licensed in 2017. Their college program included 500 hours of structures training. The also had a lot of structures experience during their apprenticeship.

North island college program has been shuttered for years now. Last class had 2 applicants…… You sure about that? Went to their website and its offered. Has a fall program scheduled. I know they had stopped offering it a couple years back, but it looks like they are going again. On a side note thou...
