Well said Sepia. "Air France jet crashes into Atlantic with 228 aboard" is really started to annoy me. Nothing has been proven or found but these headlines are everywhere. I hope all the pax are on a beautifil deserted island in the Pacific eating coconuts. Cube Now that would be a trick considerin...

so does any one know which RY they are likely to put them on tomorrow couple of the guys and I are planning on going trying to decide on Wendys or beside the 6/24s all advice well and hope to see everyone there

btw anyone know the fl#

you can lock your back but then the lovely ppl at us customs cnd customs will be more then happy to inspect your bag and as I understand it the tool of choice according to THEIR SOPs is a very sharp knife followed by a "WE ARE NOT LIABLE STICKER ATTACHED TO ALL YOUR BAGS"

OBSTACLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM does anyone have any more information on this I saw a demo on "Daily Planet" but i missed if the transmissions are on all frequencies in range or only on a specific frequency. So far it seems like a very promising system especially for those ops at low level. what...

i hope all come out surviving this event. good luck to all involved

I recently brought this question to the AME and was told that fuel guages were not needed, were not realiable other then to know if you have full tanks, or empty and should not be used for anything other then that :o so i guess if you dont lean your mixture exactly and are doing a long trip you can...

Keep it in perspective. JAA kids get to sit right seat in jets, Canadian CPL's get to sit right seat in a Navajo. There are those who learn by reading, others learn by doing. Who's to say which way is better than the other? This subject has been beat to death numerous times but I stress again; do y...

I havent heard of this application would anyone have a name for it and has anyone used it for the area around YYZ I have to admit I do use the iphone GPS when im in a new city, I find its better then have to strap the other up to the rental car and at least the maps are upto date but the down side i...

I still think that bio and synthetic fuels are the way to go. VikVaughan wrote: They have already run a jet engine on a 30/70 mixture of synthetic kerosene, and more recently, a 50/50 mixture, with no modification to the engine. With slight changes, a jet engine can run on 100% synthetic kerosene bi...

I was just reading another thread on someone looking for a plane for family trips and i got to thinking... I need to keep up my MIFR and I thought it would be a good excuse to take the family on a trip every couple of months while staying current. Does anyone know of a nice plane preferebly 6 pax in...

I have one but I dont think its a good idea for VFR

when Im just bombing around on the weekends i have a really sweet Airmap 600C I think its the best thing since sliced bread LoL

i thought it looked odd since 33s were active

I dont know if i would want to be onboard something which nucs on it can anyone say chernoble????

I think that biofuels might be a better idea i think i read a thread on here one about that

what does everyone else think????

perhaps we should all try to attain a higher standard ourselves. How? I sugest that we make our training on par with JAA I think that we could start by redesigning our ground school especially for the commercial i think it should include more then just the extreme minimum required for the passing o...

I heard that it was an issue of not being able to fly as much as she wanted which would also bother me.

I also liked that cfi havent had a chance to meet the new one think he also flies out of yyz or something.

there is a new CFI at WWFC, best of luck,

also the old CFI will be missed, did a great job, but i guess i would miss the flying as well

anyone have any info on the new CFI???

last year I think they took something like 40 ppl

I recently did this after reading this forum, I got a small camera with a hard drive attached it to a tri pod and belted it in the back of the plane when i would go on training flights. The video was great but I have not been able to get voice with it personally I think its a good idea although i th...

With a plate like that, u would probley get a ticket. I did mention when getting a speeding ticket once, that I was a pilot, and had just been flying, so I felt like I was going slower. I think it also hepled that I metioned I was a student, making crappy $$$ and away from home. I have always wonde...

can't wait for the ties between his birthplace of Turkey and Obama being in Turkey being seen as a direct terrorist threat lol And Obama had an assassination attempt on him... see the misc. forum. I posted the link. obviously a 31 year old canadian citizen flying a 172 down the mid-u.s. lol I JUST ...

Certainly the JAA PPL is a poorer standard than the original CAA PPL in the UK. We've had PPLs have to get their SPPs and do further training before being given a Canadian PPL. But I think the Canadian CPL is perhaps too low a standard. The requirement for 80 hours of groundschool redresses this so...

well this is for flight training and one of my issues is after clearing customs in the states usually you have a hard time with filing flight plans and can end up meaning an idling engine for up to 45 minutes which i think i just a waste of money which im sure would be worth a small fee for the conv...

all the best to all on board hope everyone comes out OK

Just wondering what the difference is between clearing customs at an airport close to the border instead of at your destination especially since clearing at destination gives ATC the ability to follow the flight in case something was to happen and saves you having to do an extra landing. all comment...
