lowapproach wrote: The aneriod capsule is sealed in an altimeter

Ah dammit! I knew that. Must have been thinking of the ASI. Good thing my instructor rating is invalid.

If the plane maintains a constant true altitude while flying into an area of lower pressure, the pressure around the aircraft is decreasing, thus less air is filling the aneroid capsule in the altimeter, causing it to read a higher altitude. Opposite happens when you fly into and area of higher pres...

Usually got CYKZ-YYZ-OAKVL-HM-CYHM as the clearance, but we were usually vectored south of CYTZ then cleared direct HM

Was taxiing out for my instructor renewal at Buttonville when the ground controller said we weren't going anywhere for "at least a few hours". I was flying a YTZ based plane. I think I ferried it back 5 days later when GA was allowed to fly again.

If you maintain a constant indicated altitude as you fly into an area of lower pressure without adjusting your altimeter your TRUE altitude will decrease. Conversely, I use to teach "From low to high you're going up in the sky"..which could be an issue for my cross-country students returning to the ...

They've now said it's a fake in the description.

Agreed..the screaming is over-acted. Plus, you can't see the pilot's eyes..he had the ground and airspeed still visible during his 'fainting'.

Just another couple of guys trying to become famous with a viral video.

Hey Mike B.. Perhaps like you I, unfortunately, have one of the most popular first names and the second most popular last Anglo-Saxon name in Canada. There's a ton of guys with my name on the US no-fly list, including one with the same birthday. Even though he is a different ethnicity than I, I use ...

Hey nottellin, I'd imagine a commercial op like that would have life preservers flying around the Great Lakes, and as SARYQQ said, that allows you to fly beyond gliding distance. Here's the Canadian reg.. 602.62 (2) No person shall operate a land aeroplane, gyroplane, helicopter or airship at more t...

I was reprimanded for not showing up when my schedule was open but I wasn't booked. Apparently I was expected to be at the school from 8 am to 6 pm, regardless of whether I was flying, without getting paid; if my schedule was closed, I couldn't be booked, so I wouldn't have been flying anyway, and ...

Well done. Gotta love a strong union. I'm jealous.

Flock of resting birds on the other side of a runway hump that we couldn't see when we started the roll.

RPM gauge reading 2000 when readline is 1700. Company had rejected 2 mins before us on that one as well.

C, for the reason given above.

Isn't winter air generally too dry for carb ice? In 2200hrs of carb engine flying I can only remember getting carb ice in late summer/early fall.

Actually it does change. Remember washout causes the stall to happen at the root first. But, in a slip, the downwind wing's wingtip will stall first. That wing takes on the characteristic of a swept wing as the relative airflow travels diagonally across it.... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/j...

Static pressure surrounds the can (aneroid capsule), dynamic pressure is inside the can. A left slip forces some air into the static, increasing it's pressure and SHRINKING the can. The can also shrinks because dynamic pressure is less in a slip as well. A shrinking can reduces indicated airspeed. A...

AC Pioneer's Day or AC Family Day. Something like that.

When I was a kid a 747 did a low pass out in Alliston.

Very cool.

As a kid, I also seem to remember a chopper shuttle from Cherry Beach to YYZ.

Why is there a DC-8 that low near Peterborough?

Based on the CRFI, but doesn't have the 'Discing/Reverse Thrust' numbers. A co-worker knows the authors, so hopfully they're adding it.

Interesting to see how many G's it claims you're pulling.

Who would of thoughts monkeys can fly yet not have enough brain power to realize Docs comment about the flying BOAT! If it was a mechanical problem, my first thought would be "let's not f*** up a $7million dollar airplane and the save everyone the heartache and just land on a LAKE where maintenance...

Given the benefit of knowing before-hand that you can't get your wheels down, you'd definately land that thing in the nearest big body of water. No matter how you landed it in the dirt, there'd be more than a little 'buffing' to do. Getting the gear down and locked with the airplane beached or nose...

I presume the gear up is a result if a mechanical problem and not pilot error, hence the greaser on the belly. Great show. Thats what I thought at first...but I believe the CADORs states they initiated a go around? Didn't think there'd be a CADOR on it since it may have been re-registered under the...
