It is unlikely a judge would accept a TSB report into evidence. The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act states the following: 7(3) No finding of the Board shall be construed as assigning fault or determining civil or criminal liability. 7(4) The findings of the Board ...

Untreated diabetes can cause permanent damage to organs. It would be better to know your diagnosis, especially if you do have diabetes. Testing is very simple. Go see your doctor and talk to them about your problems.

I worked for the TSB for 20 years. It does not release any personal information to third parties without the individual's written consent. Pilot licence number is one data field in every occurrence record in the TSB aviation database. It is a non-mandatory item, meaning the occurrence record can be ...

Review the CYTR info in the Canada Flight Supp. It should include info on the two VFR routes through the MTCA.

PPR is really simple. You call ahead before you leave and get permission to land. Every time. No permission, no landing.

Not yet. Let's start one.

This was not an ex-First Air plane.

The Lynden Herc was N402LC, SN 4698.

First Air flew C-GUSI SN 4600 and C-GHPW SN 4799.

Grolsch, Becks, and St Pauli all make pretty good alcohol free beer, from my perspective.

Read the TSB report on the AC HZ “hard landing.” It took quite a while to round up buses for the pax.

Governments are knee deep then ....in promoting addictions. Something to be proud of, Canada. Is this all our leadership has got? This is the best thought I've seen in this thread. There's lots of comments here about research on the combination of marijuana and aviation. Here's two research reports...

EAS as used in my post refers to equivalent airspeed.

I think the TSB probably used “estimated” because they were using met data from an observation done about 2 hours before the accident.

I think I saw in a book that if you can't set the altimeter, you shouldn't be flying an approach.

My guess would be transiting between Namao and Wainwright.

See section 1.16.1 of the report for an explanation of how the TSB used GPS and met info to calculate aircraft performance. Based on my long ago aerodynamics classes, my understanding of the calculations are as follows. Wiith the GPS position and time they were able to figure out the ground speed an...

The lesson here is that the airplane was severely contaminated with ice. That's why it stalled. If you fly a Caravan and you encounter ice, don't continue flight in the icing! If there's icing forecast, don't depart. All the discussion of wind shear and turbulence is not relevant. It was the decisio...

Wow! How did this get dredged up? All the things in aviation to be concerned about and people are wondering about the colour of ink in a logbook? I examine all kinds of logbooks as part of my job, and I appreciate the "clear and legible" guidance. I can't recall ever even thinking about what colour ...

How about some risk assessment by medical staff before they even call for a flight. Is a medevac really necessary in the middle of the night at Podunk with no approach lights, no PAPI, and no weather reporting?

I just renewed mine in Winnipeg. Dropped off the application, made an appointment, and picked up my new pass 6 days later.

TC AIM 3.16.8 provides for a RIF (refile in-flight to a revised destination) comment in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan. This allows operators to file short of ultimate destination but refile if they have sufficient fuel while en route.

Help me out here, I don't understand this.

I think the usual question asked is "have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which you have not received a pardon."

Getting back to the original topic, I think random testing is a good idea and will eventually happen in Canada. However, I'm not sure what it might look like. The human rights aspect focusses on substance dependence as a disability requiring accommodation. The privacy aspect of random testing has no...

There's zero chance of people not taking jobs at regionals. They've always accepted the job offers, and they always will.

What kind of pilot the companies get, that's a different question.

Welcome aboard.
