I have met several who left 200k plus jobs to start over at Jazz, let alone AC, how many are actually willing to stay if they were offered a job at AC? My guess is very few would put their money where their mouth is! Pretty much anyone with an ATPL and 5000+ hours today at any of those operators wo...

Seems like a big change? No need to give them access to all your info, only states that the info you do provide them can be shared amonst themselves?

Or am I misunderstanding the statement?

And yes I'm all for technology supporting them. Maybe we would be ultimately safer with a computer flying the plane in 99.9999% of flights. But it's the one where it goes wrong that pilots earn their money, so why not still have them there to make the ultimate ethical decisions. Because, hypothetic...

Ok. So we can find a few small examples, of presumably low load computing, that is reliable for a couple of years. I presume it is doing a routine task repeatedly? You would presume wrong. In reality it's a very busy machine processing near real time data from close to a thousand locations scattere...

I have been jumping through hoops since June 2025. When i questioned what's going on with my medical i received a registered letter 2 weeks later. First letter was 7 items. I am now at 12 items. Last was submitted over 2 weeks ago. Still no word. My Doctor has spoke to them at least 3 times. She ca...

So possibly 406.03(2)(b)(iii), but then it depends on the relationship of the instructor and the aircraft. If the instructor is a member as well, it might be hard(er) to argue the plane is acquired at arm's length. If it's an outside instructor, I think you can use that rule, assuming the flying sc...

Was that on every flight, or only on longer ones where you don't have enough fuel to legally make it to your destination with 10% contingency so you have a 'phantom' destination in the middle where you're never intending to go anyway? No we never had a "phantom destination." Everything was legit an...

At my old 705 airline, I believe it was a requirement of the dispatchers to check that the alternate weather still was legal at least once during the flight. That is, a legal alternate was determined before departure and that was filed on the flight plan. Then, around the midpoint of the flight, th...

If it lasted too long and TAFs began to expire, I bet flights would start to get canceled. If the weather is good enough, controlled VFR for those that can do it. Many of the northern operators don't have a FAA OC to operate in the US. Can't use a US alternate. Doesn't mean you can't file it... Gre...

Do owners mainly focus on looks or are they generally more enticed by specs? (Speed, range) I suspect the venn diagram of Gulfstream owners and avcanada posters doesn't have much overlap (unless you include the Grumman AA series). Sounds reasonable, but brokers and pilots might now as well what the...

The GFA's are still being produced, but the higher limits required to use a GFA would probably preclude using them. I also assume The Weather Network is not a valid source for legal alternate weather. So, if this outage continues, can a pilot/dispatcher legally file an IFR flight plan? If you can g...

The problem in this scenario is that Canada won't join the US all at once. Alberta will go first leaving the rest of the country to try to make a go of it without them. Taxes will have to go through the roof leaving everyone with no money for air travel. Why? We will simply extort Alberta for all o...

Thanks for the reply. My interpretation is that 406.03(2)(b)(i) AND (406.03(2)(b)(ii) OR 406.03(2)(b)(iii)) have to be true. This is because , at the end of 406.03(2)(b)(ii) there is and OR, but not at the end of 406.03(2)(b)(i), 406.03(2)(b)(iii). Is that accurate? :rolleyes: I'm not a lawyer, but...

406.03 (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), no person shall operate a flight training service in Canada using an aeroplane or helicopter in Canada unless the person holds a flight training unit operator certificate that authorizes the person to operate the service and complies with the condition...

Hi digits, I'm a part of a gliding club and they're offering me a tow pilot position if I can get my tailwheel training. I understand it's not a formal thing in Canada but they need it for insurance and I want it because I wouldn't feel comfortable flying taildraggers right off the bat. Just lookin...

I think we're all missing the most important initial question: taro, what do you mean with 'tailwheel training'? What's your goal? There is no formal tailwheel license/checkout/.. in Canada, so if you are looking for comparitive quotes, you should first define exactly what it is you're looking for.

Online for 6 minutes every 6 hours on the 6th day of every week?

Seriously though, what's going on?

Thanks all I'll probably stick to this promo since I already have a couple Garmin G5 on the panel. https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/a ... 5promo.php The Uavionics is a good one but I would have to add their dash device in order to use the transponder. Where are you going to put your antenna? O...

This one doesn't have antenna diversity. You'd need the GTX335D to deal with that.

The next thing I would do and it’s going to suck is find a good lawyer, this is clear defamation Something to keep in mind. It's only defamation if it's wrong. Just because OP hasn't been diagnosed, doesn't mean that -theoretically- he can't be suffering from whatever his ex claims. Just because sh...

I've found TC to be very reluctant to act upon random tips without evidence. Will they consider those stolen messages as evidence? Hard to say, only you know what's in them. My gut feeling would be that unless you're threatening to crash your plane in them, or are describing detailed murder fantasie...

huh?

Autoland has already existed for a long time. Autopilots too. Manual dexterity is probably the issue that has been most reliably solved for airline flying.
