Digits, YQB is a strange strange place. I flew out of there for a couple of years. Not that long ago really. What really pissed me off was canceling the IFR and still being expected to fly the STAR even though they weren’t sequencing any other traffic! No rhyme or reason what so ever. A new friend ...

Entb, You’ve brought some great points to the discussion. In my experience it’s always preferable to start any seaplane at the dock if able. Since you mentioned a thread drift…. The 208 will produce almost 40 ft-pounds of thrust from the right side exhaust. No bueno when docked on the left float and...

Owned a 57’ 180A operated on 2870’s for over a decade.

Helped give a buddy of mine his float rating on his 180 which was kitted out on almost brand new PK 3000’s last summer.

I was immediately sold. Flat tops, big hatches and very very forgiving…. but yikes! They are expensive.

All the best,

Not sure if something gave way or if it was a poorly tied rope. It's a PT-6'd Turbo Otter, why anyone would start it out of BETA or feather is beyond me... for this exact f'ing reason. There's also reverse, for situations in which you've begun moving forward when you don't want to be, but I suspect...

How altruistic of you. A simpleminded comment indeed. TPC I think the poster was simply pointing to the fact airlines are federally regulated with federal labour laws, not sure if an Ontario specific labour law would apply. He finally has some time to come out of his cave, let him run free for a wh...

Likely wouldn’t apply to AC is they are governed by Federal law and are technically a YUL corporation.

To the OP:

Welcome to the Wild West of the 702 world.

You’re not wrong in your decision making process and I for one commend you for reaching out to seek advice.

Are you a doctor? No? Does the individual hold a medical? Yes? Has the individual demonstrated proficiency? Holds a valid rating/ppc/current on type etc? And is doing their job? Yes? Then it's none of your business. In fact it's harassment going after someone like that. Kick rocks. Yup. And anyone ...

I don’t understand how amphibian aircraft operators even forget in which state their gear configuration is in.

Love the roll out plan and out of sheer interest of continuously learning, will probably send a DM.

With that said, and I mean no offence but can you perhaps announce yourself publicly prior to? Should your initials not be KD then disregard.

The Air Bravo had disproportionate amount of engine failure compared to global PC-12 operators. It is management that sets the tone for how the engine is taken care of. Whoever is the Chief Pilot were they also hard on the aircraft engine? If you have a single engine you need to take care. Jean-Pie...

What on earth is a DHC-2 checkout? I assume this is for a prospective employer… if that’s the case they should be providing YOU with adequate training and YOU should be getting paid throughout said training. TPC thanks for the totally worthless response You sound offended. Look at it this way, Unle...

It is really sad to hear that when they evacuated LaRonge they left behind a brand new Q4, two Mag Aero birdog a/c, and two other tankers… now those a/c have ember damage, not good especially for a brand new multi million dollar Q4 AT. By “they” you mean the province of Saskatchewan’s air service a...

If you are 65 GTFO and retire already. Wow. ME262 you seem to be able to talk the talk but for a relatively new guy in this industry you seem to have one hell of a chip on your shoulder.

That is wholly incorrect information.

If anything TC has made leaps and bounds to better mirror the FAA and their stance on SSRI’s.

It's corruption pure and simple. The people in the yvr acc are corrupt, they are gaming the system to their own benefit, and they don't care how many airlines they rip off to do it, they don't care how many passengers they inconvenience, they don't even care how many career paths they derail. They ...

I may have missed his asking price - but there is absolutely no reason to avoid the O-300...in fact - I'd fly one of those any day over a Ly coming. Yes - the older ones have less useful load - but if your trying to cram 4 people in a 172 it's the wrong airplane for you. I see it as a roomier 150. ...
