Is this from Cadors? Was there a date?

The Northwest Company might be regretting their purchase at this point.

For the non - medevac 703 world, has "oncall" been replaced by "stand by"? It does not seem clear in the gazette.

Atikokan is a dead airport, but the town still relies on it for medevac operations. This would be the same for Manitouwadge, Hearst, Kirkland Lake, Elliot Lake, Gore Bay etc. These airports are likely on the chopping block as well.

Has anyone in NWO noticed that Atikokan is no longer a published IFR airport? I have heard that Navcanada will be eliminating approaches from airports that it sees as under served. Specifically, if the airport does not have a scheduled service and / or a certified weather station attached to it, it ...

It is my suspicion that many of the current managers in Canadian aviation are trapped in an outdated paradigm. They simply can not see hazards associated with fatigue. I believe this would be similar to previous generations that accepted driving while intoxicated as being a norm, not wearing seat be...

Transport has published the new fatigue management regulations in the gazette part 1. http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2017/ ... ng.php#na5

Enjoy

Awesome. Makes me nostalgic for flying in that area. Happy Thanksgiving.

The TBM pilot was aware he had an issue. He twice asked for a lower altitude, only communicating to ATC that it was an indication issue. ATC denied the requests, unaware of the problem. The pilot should have descended and declared. http://www.flyingmag.com/technique/accidents/doomed-tbm-900-pilot-tw...

The CFS airport pages have been added to the Fltplan Go android app, for anyone who uses that program. It provides free access now for the complete US and Canadian plates, lows, highs, and airport info. Its only really lacking the CAP Gen, but that can be downloaded for free from NavCan. Oh, wow......

Sorry Brown Bear, from the A.I.M: Medical Evacuation Flights (MEDEVAC): (a) Initial contact: The manufacturer’s name or type of aircraft or operator’s radiotelephony designator, followed by: (i) the flight number and the word MEDEVAC, or (ii) the last four characters of the aircraft registration and...

Cat Driver,

I was referring to the Trinidad, not KA.

What a dumb way to smash up a beautiful airplane.

I'm simply speculating here as well. I'm a fixed wing turbine pilot, so my knowledge with helicopters is less than through. How much extra performance would an S-76A have at low altitude and low airspeed should they lose an engine? With four crew members, a medevac interior and IFR fuel required for...

Interesting to see Pilatus' take on the twin jet market.

"Newtons laws ofs of gravity shifted the planet back to it's original plane of rotation, which reslulted in weather patterns returning to normal patterns"

+1!

www.fltplan.com works pretty well.

It could have more to do with the 20,000 hour life inspection of the PC-12. From what i've seen it can be a time consuming and expensive process. The life inspection of the PC-12 is due to Pilatus never having designed the machine for high cycles or time. I belive they had built it based on the idea...

I've been using FltPlan.com for the past couple months on my android tablet. It's not quite as refined as the IPAD version, but it gets the job done..and for free!

Question: From your sim training on the PC12, what speed would you maintain on a GS to ensure a safe landing if the stove quit? Assuming a fairly "normal" 8-10 knot head wind? Can it be done, or do you maintain a dot above? The engine-out, feathered, clean descent profile of the PC-12 is 4-1, so yo...

The aircraft itself is quite flexible regarding approach speeds and profiles. Its largely dependant on the company sops and / or pilot. If trying to accommodate traffic or Atc, its pretty easy to maintain 199 ias up to a 4 mile final. However the following are the speeds I typically use: - 200+ up t...

There is an Ops spec for single engine IFR departures from airports below return minima. T/O alternates are required. It feels ridiculous even typing that.

The operators that make it into VFR airports such as north spirit, arm strong and keewaywin on IFR days only helps to reinforce to the community that paying for an approach to be developed would be a waste of funds. Aircraft are able to make it in, why spend money for a service that is not required?

He could have been VFR at some point on the "approach", descended low, ended up over the lake in white out and kept the mark 1 eye ball outside. All it would have taken would be a gradual rate of descent, hence why the plane was not completely totalled on impact.
