I have not flown multi Cessna's and will not speak to the safety of running the tanks dry in them. I will speak to what I know and is common practice in commercial flying. There is really only one way to know if you have taken all of the fuel available from a tank, and that is to blow the tank. If y...

For King Air 300. King Air 200 bed from Lifeport will work.

Dam those 10 000 Ruskies... My Ranger Patrol and I are heading up with our trusty 303's and were taking it all back. The Canadian Ranger Project is expanding, developing into an official reserve unit of the Canadian Forces. Boots on the ground is a term tosed around a lot, putting local hunters and ...

Yop Peachy keen.
I think I heard #6 in the line up listening to Radio in Fort nelson today.
Peak periods are a little hecktick, leads to much longer wait times on the ground and can realy screw with slot times due to flow control going to Calgary.

Rule #1 Don't step on Superman's cape.

Old Experienced Captain: Lots experience.

Just wondering what the current job market is like out there for new hires and low time pilots.

What amount of time are 200hr pilots expecting for ramp jobs before moving into a seat?

Are 500 hour pilots taking FO jobs or Ramp jobs to move up?

1 call on 126.7 prior to take off isn't going to hurt anyone and hey it might even save you from a close encounter or worse a direct conflict. If we are talking about uncontroled airports that include whatever little grass, mud, swamp hole that you are able to land your aircraft in, chances are many...

I pay $40 a month off my cheque and my employer doesn't pay anything as far as I know. The plan is through the local chamber of comerce. The coverage is pretty good...comperable to other non aviation plans I have been on with a certain number of chiropractic message and acupuncture as well as most o...

I think there are an awful lot of graduated cpl's from both Private FTU and College programs that never end up working as a profesional pilot. I think there are even more that might only do it for 1-2 years and decide that the starting low wages and hard work are not worth it. I'm going to guess som...

I've decided on the Samsung Galaxy with the android OS.
So I'm waiting for it to be deliverd up in the northern nether region of Canada in wich I live.
Any advice on google marketplace apps or other free form programs would be apreciated, otherwise I'll post them myself as I discover them.

Jeremy, I like how you were vi-ing for a FA spot then all of a sudden you are flying, I guess the recognized you had been there in the trenches for longer and deserved your shot. I think it's funny how they paint it as you are so hard done by being on the ramp for less then a year when just across t...

I've seen a lot of discusions about the iphone aviation apps, just not a lot about android apps, most likely because its fairly new to Canada. I think there will likely be more apps in the end for the android phones since they are open source. My reasons for staying away from the Iphone include but ...

I'm looking at smart phones at the moment. I've seen the usefulness of having mobile browsing up to date weather and NOTAMS in the cockpit. I think I've decided to go with a smart phone with the android operating system so as to have access to the google apps marketplace. I'm trying to avoid the Ste...

Realy?....Realy?

C'mon, McD's is number 17.

Can you realy take this list seriously?
I work at a 703 and I don't remember filling out my questionair for the best place to work in Canada.

Pilot shortage? Just like global warming for those of us that live in the north...can't come soon enouph! And when and if a pilot shortage ever does happen (and I sure hope it does) The companies that have been paying sub standard wages for the jobs that we do better not expect us not to take advant...

Now, I'll have to figure out how to complete the rest of the excell formula's to produce distance and heading as well as ete with wind.

I was hoping someone would have an idea. I'm building an Excel program to produde OFP's. I'm having a hard time finding a database with airport distances or waypoints in Canada. I know that these exist in the format of Databases with Lat and Long and I'm sure I could figure out how to extract what I...

Good read.

I wonder if there is anything out there in this style yet more recent?

Note that you also have limited life inusrance through WCB if you are working.

No training= Less Pilots

Less Pilots= High demand

High demand = More money for existing Pilots

Bring it on!

Boom and bust boom and bust, its nothing new.

Pasion for flying? I became a pilot to pick up chicks and impress everyone at the bar with my shiny epaulets. Unfortunately everytime I go to the bar there are more pilots then girls with big spare tires and northern gunts. Screw it.....I still love flying, and I'm still thrilled that someone else i...
