Maybe 5T/Nunasi want to purchase 7F for rights to the Herc ops.. not the B737 traffic. 7F is the only commercial carrier in Canada certificated for Herc operations and have all rights for acquiring and operating them in Canada, No one else does, so speculatively, it would only be a smart move if 5T ...

I heard that the RSC wasnt exactly the best, and that the 1900 crew had tried to avoid some "potholes" that have been forming , which is what caused them to catch the windrows/slush and creating the event that occurred. If you use CYCP as an alternate, you may want to have a company rep do a field i...

BOEING 777-300 MIDAIR INCIDENT UPDATED/REVISED __ NEW WITNESS INFO RELEASED A Boeing 777-300ER, collided early yesterday morning in the skies over Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, with what can only be described as an unidentified object. Flight 30, a flight from Toronto to Beijing was about 4 hrs into the f...

It was operated by Southern Frontier (which was owned by Time Air), we used to do Calgary to Lloydminster during the week. No, it was operated by TimeAir as a TimeAir flight after KI bought SFA... SFA did not exist after the purchase. The flights operated 6 days a week YYC-YLL.. I worked every one ...

TIMEAIR served YYC-YLL-YOD-YLL-YYC with BE99 's and eventually the DH8's.

One aircraft type that was missed was the Citation II .. this was subbed in on occasion for sked flights and I saw this happen a few times on the YYC-YLL-YOD run. Needless to say it made for some very happy passengers! lol

Wow, surprised to hear they are deploying to YLW... not much real estate there to op search and rescue operations (ramp space limited) espcially if they are utilizing C130's or even the C17 (doubtful).. I imagine using the Buffalo and Cormorants only at this time? C-17's don't search - ever. No CC-...

Hmm .. fighting over ramp space in YYD, YXT or YPR??

So, whats the story? Did they locate the missing chopper?

Nanaimo is 14NM , Victoria (Sidney- CYYJ) is 27NM

Did a flight YVR-YCD on the F28 - 5min.. crew had so much fun doing I believe 11 different frequency changes during the flight.. earned their money on that flight!

Would that have been 445/447 & 449 from Conair?

do a small mod to this and have a flying hotel!!

Converting FlairAir 734'S to freighters, and replacing Flair's 734's with TU154's

Arrivals or FSS may "elect" to inform inbound aircraft of braking conditions reported by other aircraft that have landed, it is not an obligatory procedure, but rather a courtesy. The CRFI is strictly a number representing the "average" braking conditions over the entire runway surface length by per...

I believe that there is a chart in the back of the CFS that attempts to correlate the various runway friction and braking report formats. For example: "Poor Braking" is roughly equivalent to 21-29 Reported Mu and 0.25-0.40 CRFI. As we all know this far from an exact science, so this is only the rou...

Performing CRFI's is part of my job , a 0.2 reading is generally the guideline for closing "most" runways to aircraft operations until you can get it at or above 0.25.. A 0.4 - 0.5 is the ideal readings during periods of inclement weather (snow) and less than 2cm of accumulated precipitation on runw...

I am not a pilot, nor a crew member, however have had plenty of aviation related experience in the north, and I have to agree there is a lot of uninformed and "armchair" speculation going on by "Vultures" whom seem to think they know it all. Until the TSB has concluded and released their findings, n...

When did Regional1 get CRJ's???

Shows how much real estate you can cover with 2 × General Electric F404-GE-402 turbofans generating 22,000lbs of thrust strapped to your a$$!!

You can carry a few kegs of beer with the money you save buying one of these vs the CL415's..
