I worked with a guy at YVR who got hit by a prop. A Horizon Q400 had pulled in and when he attached the groundpower he stepped back rather than to the side and got smacked by the prop as it was spooling down. He was airlifted to hospital and turned out to be OK, he walks with a bit of a limp. Anyone...

Is it the airport authority that isn't allowing people to use de-ice/anti-ice or is it that there is no FBO to provide the service? During one of those foggy nights last spring a Regional 1 DH8 overnighted at YBW and requested de-icing. The FBO let him spray on their ramp with permision from the ai...

Runway 28 in CYYC is one that should be looked at as it essentially a "Buffalo Jump" at the end ont Deerfoot Trail. I have seen many wide body aircraft use this runway with zero overrun available. Not to mention the fact that many of the large cargo company aircraft land long so that it is a shorte...

From what I can gather from the circular - The RVR taken at the active runway governs the airport. I've heard YYC has run into these issues with aircraft taxiing around the south side where its above 1200 while the RVR for 34 says below. I'm not sure what happens in the case of parrallel runways but...

Um.... this is a ridiculous idea. Do you think students that PAY for a course at university and fail deserve their money back or have the right to file a law suit? Why would ATC training be any different?

The argument is why, not if. There continues to be people arguing that it is natural climate change occurring and that man has nothing to do with it. But as Boosted is fond of saying there is absolutely no proof of that or evidence to support it except that it has occurred in the past. Man-made GHG...

Proper baggage tags need a good yank to pull them off. Two ends of tough paper glued together doesn't just slip off. Long gone are the elastic tag holders. Actually, the adhesive was designed to hold at moderate temperatures - something we in Canada only see during half the year. When its cold, the...

140 L is a minimum amount for the 737-700. That is a baseline for the Ice man to know if they have full coverage. As for type IV being a contaminant - it has the ability to gel as your article stated but it is standard procedure to begin with Type I and finish with Type IV. Taking a type IV for blow...

I have always been curious as to why nobody has gone to the federal government to have this site designated a historical monument?? Correct me if i am wrong but wasnt it the first certified airfield in Canada? If it was designated a historical site, like a building, would it not have to be preserve...

I recently updated my airports RVOP to meet Transports new requirements and this is what I can tell you: Reduced Vis - is determined by an airport's ability to meet TC's requirements. These vary based on lighting availablity, infrastructure, etc and are published in the CAP. If visibility is varying...

OFD, way to call someone an ignorant slut without directly calling them an ignorant slut. That's clever stuff you ignorant slut! And for all those who love to diss Al Gore, lets see you bring forward a movie that opposes his argument thats backed up by half as much scientific data. Oh let me guess....

Does anyone know where (or why) the 100 ml quantity came from? Was there a reason for this amount, or was it just an arbitrary decision? Airline passengers are set to see the 100 ml liquid limit for hand luggage lifted as a result of new technology. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this was pu...
