I smell an shinny new Global 7000 in the works

Why is it that aviation in Canada keeps managing to find ways to go backwards

They have already and have been for a while even doing that with 400 series airframes

Boeing is just the one that got caught

I respectfully put forward that in general good airmanship goes hand in hand with good situational awareness. Being comfortably ahead of the airplane and fully cognisant through all phases of flight; from startup to shutdown, allows for due consideration of all the elements in play. Airmanship is dy...

The University of Toronto, Engineering Faculty use to rent the runway at Downview on occasion for their various projects

A well maintained, documented OM C of A aircraft is far less concerning then a "just on time, only as required, pencil whipped" standard of C of A airplane. I own an OM aircraft, enjoy working on it and when the task is above my knowledge base I seek out those wiser then I for their guidance and adv...

How much is the retention bonus, the Feds will take their slice

Boeing seem to be adopting a new "openness", hmmm

Nothing, maybe a "brief" black eye on the NATO stage but that would soon turn into nothing as well

Ah man both the Rafale and Typhoon out and very likely the Gripen as well, this is getting boring

Here it comes, standby for many rounds of saber rattling from entities with very deep pocket and well placed "friends"

The myth of the common type rating, sold to the regulator as viable process and a marketing ploy disguised as cost savings by a simple "difference" course for the operator.

It's most likely safe to fly now. However the "regulator" is also deal with the perception of having let the "inmates run the asylum". Boeing is just the manufacturer that got caught, don't think for one minute that the others don't have similar skeletons in their closet.

Exactly, and play their cards very close

Which was likely put out before the AT approval announcement

And those shiny new 737 max's park in the desert just became Neo's

Or the CP could have said; I see what your planning, I understand why you are planning that however here are my thoughts for your consideration in the future. The other though that comes to mind is exactly how much is really gained by flying 10 KIAS fast for the last 25 or 30 track miles and is it w...

I believe the speeds published on a STAR are maximums as they relate to turn anticipation for airspace containment, to avoid a loss of separation or terrain and obstacle avoidance. I do not think the designs take into consideration CARs regulatory requirements that's left to the PIC to abide by. As ...

I suspect if it lead to another issue, maybe "loss of separation" you may be requested to explain your non-compliance !!

My take on this, the controller is turning a blind eye to the regulation but the one he hands you off to may not !!! I'd rather be explaining why I slowed down to an ATC unit then why I didn't to the Chief Pilot

Double post deleted

I see this as an apples & oranges, no reasonable operational comparison can be between these two forms of propulsion other then possibly the throttle/thrust lever.

NavCanada (ATC) is a service provider not the regulator; that's Transport Canada, good luck with the CAR's violation.

In addition if your company has a FDM program in place you will also likely be "invited" in for biscuits & tea with the person(s) who are tasked with administering it.
