1) low level light 2) probe is a good answer 3) fwd tank, low level light do not pitch nose down excessively, Aft low level don't climb or pitch nose up excessively Follow the checklists. The worst part about Twin Otter pilots is they over think the snags and try to invent their own SOPS. Typical m...

Dont forget that the pump is circulating the fuel from the collector cell up the strut and back down again passing the ejector..the ejector keeps the collector cell full disregarding the attituted of the aircraft..Not forgetting that this aircraft was designed as a STOL craft with large pitch change...

From experience.
You will need a really nice friend who you can share a room with from time to time in Vancouver.

From my point of view all above imputs are good advise... However, you can own a home.. You need to show long term lease to another party. You can own a car.. You need to show long term storgage with storage insurance or long term rental of said vehicle. You can have Canadian visa cards if it is sho...

SAR_YQQ So Sorry! Please don't think that I don't see the sacrifice you people make as individuals and as a unit. As an operator world wide in airborne remote sensing, I gringe when I see what you people as a group and as individuals use as tools to save lives in the techno sense. My tirade was dire...

Aah, the military logic,
Gosh, I hope no one plans to invade Canada..
Please be gentelmen and give us a bit of notice.

Ticasse, You are forgetting about the ICAO rules, "English is the primery langual spoken at all Internationally classified airports." So no Lufthansa pilots speak english at Frankfurt. Indonesian pilots speak english in Ujung Pandang. Greek Pilots speak english in Athens. Saudi pilots..well you get ...

On another thread, there was some very good advise vis-a-vis the operation of Lycoming engines. Times have changed since the POH's of most of the aircraft were manufactured and the POH's were printed. And by the way aircraft manufcturers are not engine makers and vise versa. I looked up the POH of m...

I was looking at the couple just outside the shadow of the railway underpass having what appears to be -- SEX!! -- Geez...That's it, I'm not going to Wreck Beach any more...

You mght want to think about a Turbo Commander. Plus side - It has fuel efficient Garrets and a clean floor that you can punch holes in to your hearts content. I operated two Taurus King Airs in Southeast Asia for a number of years doing airbourn remote sensing. Great high altitude machines but gas ...

Thanks CYWL,
No fair reading my love letters though.

Hi CYWL, That was a terrible accident. If you do go to the crash site I would be interested if you saw a rebuilt engine block for a Triumph TR3 in the dross of that accident. I was working in Prince George at the time and had the block shipped on that flight. Mail was never delivered from that fligh...

Yes, I had to shut down and secure engine in flight in an Apache and restart it during my training. A maginal aircraft on one...

Transport Canada and their idea for user friendly web sites is a very sore point with me from browsing the CARS to any other of their systems... One of you techy types, when you get bored with flicking switchs in the cockpit, could find a good niche contracting your service to TC. (You may not want ...

Lifsister,
I have run a translator on your postscript and find that it does not translate well. Please, for a fan, how does it really translate into english.
Syntax... No soup for me!

I feel that I have to step in here.... I endorse all the technology that enhanses flight safety and enjoy using the new tools but..... The basics still need to be formost in a navigator/pilots list of chits in his back pocket. If you have not been drilled and understand the basics and rely soley on ...

How? Cat Driver knows... Back in the day when forcasts and upper air analysis were crude and you needed to go from lets say, Inuvik to Coppermine (600 miles), a streach for a Twin Otter, you could---- Preflight plot the track on your maps with a 90 degree plot with milages to the various DEW line be...

And if you completed the 30 hours and got a ppl within a year you got $100.00 rebate from the federal government. 'Coarse you all know where that money went.

I soloed on CF-EAU and trained on CF-DKW at the Royal Victoria Flying Club in Sidney BC. That was in the mid fifties. The club is still there, they may still have records. BTW, solo was $9.00 per hour and duel was $11.00 per hour. After school jobs grossed $1.00 per hour so lots of work to get that ...

From one who worked and lived in Indonesia for 12 years and other countries for the last 33 years, I have to say that it depends... Working as a third party national is always the best. Be a Canadian working for country X in country Y. Moving to a country and culture other than your own is a mind ex...
