1- get a lawyer specialising in DUI defence. 2- if you are convicted do not travel to the US until you are able to apply/receive a pardon... if the Americans learn of your conviction it will be a life of problems, even if you're later granted a pardon. 3- once you get a pardon in the eyes of employ...

The pilot.

It's obvious that this thread is a lost cause. You started it to get others opinions between the beech and beavers/otters yet all you do is belittle them when they state their own opinion. You should have just titled it "The Beech 18 is the best floatplane ever built because I said so". All I did wa...

I just simply wanted to point out that an aircraft like the otter has 5 easily accessible emergency exits where the beech only has 2 and I think it's pretty obvious the chances of an overweight tourist on their way to or from a fishing lodge is going to make it out the cockpit hatch in the beech esp...

How many exits/emergency exits are there on the Beech 18 and how easily can the passengers access them in the event of an emergency? If I'm correct there are 5 on the Otter and they are very easy to access.

No. Personally I think the courses are a waste of money. I just studied the Aerocourse workbook and the Sharper Edge Solutions workbook. Majority of the exam questions were the same as what you get in the books.

One word, Aerocourse.

I was in the exact same situation about ten years ago. I got charged with drinking and driving before starting my pilots license. I got my cpl and landed a float job. Had no problems other than needing a ride to work all summer long. Aviation insurance is not affected by your driving record so you w...

As far as crossing the border with a DUI, I don't know where some of you are getting your information from but I got a DUI a few years back and I have never had a problem crossing the U.S. border. They usually ask if anyone in the vehicle has ever been arrested or charged and I always tell them righ...

Beaver flaps have got to be one of the worst flap actuating designs. Reaching down by the seat 'select, pump, pump, pump, watch the dashboard indicator' has got to be one of the more awkward methods of selecting flaps. So I guess you don't have much time in a beaver... You shouldnt have to watch th...

You can reach the prop with a paddle, then you won't drain your batteries while motoring the prop over with the starter.

It's not so much the criminal record I am worrying about, as I know that this will only restrict me from entering the US and obtaining a job(until I can apply for a Pardon after 3 years that is). US Border Service and US Government don't recognize Canadian pardons for criminal offenses and if you w...

I do find it immature when the only purpose in some people's lives seems to be getting to the next joint, and I find it scary when people like that will be graduating from my program (aircraft maintenance). Well I would like to know what you say when one of your classmates rolls into class from a n...

Landed and is on the run

5 minutes ago he was still flying and over Missouri headed west at 3800 feet grounding 100 kts. Fighters are still along side

No blood tests. Yes on the urine test, but not for drugs, to check for diabetes ECG- They will put some sticky wires on your chest to make sure your heart works right. You will need an audigram to. Just a quick hearing test. And your doctor will ask you a bunch of questions on family medical history...

I would love to see humans who hunt animals for sport do it in an even way. We gotta get rid of the Cletisus some way I like the rock idea By the way, where is the ad? I don't see it anywhere on their site I don't think we shoud get rid of them, they pay for alot of our flying and hunting trips.

Were the Aquas any good? I don't know much about these floats.

Wondering if anyone has used these floats on a Cessna 185 and what your opinion of them is. Any input would be nice.

Why R.I.P.? They have a new season coming out and a new movie in the fall! Can't wait

You can do your written at 100 hrs, and complete your flight test at 150 hrs. After your flight test you can save alot of money if you have all of your required hours done and know if someone has an inexpensive plane to rent to get your hours up to 200 and then submit the paperwork to transport.

The thing that bothers me the most is that you accepted a job that only pays $5/load, knowing that you weren't going to get rich off it, and then you get bored and come on avcanada to whine about. Instead of crying about it on here why don't you talk to management about it, or better yet, when you g...
