Re: "it's just good airmanship"

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...

Re: Owner Maintenance Question
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...

Re: Boeing Max.
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.

Re: Boeing Max.
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.

Re: Speed limits and STARs
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 !!

Re: Speed limits and STARs
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

Re: Piston versus turbine engines.
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.

Re: Speed limits and STARs
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.
