Re: RCAF Cyclone Down
They have reported the FDr and CVR were recovered. I didn't think military aircraft had FDR and CVR's. Usually when I've read the odd report - they never mention these, admittedly They are mostly Hornet reports that I see. Do most military aircraft have these recorders? What about the high performa...

Re: RCAF Cyclone Down
I met Captain Hagen once when he came to my office to visit his brother (who was a co-worker of mine). The two of them (and I think their sister as well) were all in the RCAF, and were a very close family. I'm sure they're reeling from this. Condolences to all the families involved. This is beyond ...

Re: RCAF Cyclone Down
Edit:
Family is being told hard impact with the sea at night. No signs of the wreckage with the exception of a beacon which is designed to detach/jettison.
This hits too close to home.

Re: Plane crash at Sechelt airport
In my younger years I "almost" killed myself in the same area (heavy and on a very hot day). Did a proper short field etc but was too stupid/complacent to do a density altitude check. Made it out by climbing out just above the power lines. Even if your looking for it the ground is very sneaky there...

Licensing officers...
So,
I've been out of the game for quite a few years. Is there no way to actually directly talk to a licensing officer now? (Without having to wait ~2days for an email or call back that is).
When did this become "a thing"?

Re: Kickstarter: Canadian made, <$600 control loading sim yo
Hey thanks Schteevie, Actually it was issues with the RB that originally got us going down this path! The FMX uses a spring tensioner on a moving shuttle to pass the L2"enhanced" FTD criteria. I know TC (and others) were/are having a lot of complaints about their specific implementation. I think the...

Kickstarter: Canadian made, <$600 control loading sim yoke
Hey all, I don't imagine there are too many people on here who do the home flight sim thing, but thought it prudent to push this here nevertheless. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/irisdynamics/affordable-force-feedback-flight-sim-control-yoke The team I’m with has been working on this little giz...

Re: Education loan for foreign student
You may also want to look into a student visa to get the ball rolling... Once you are in and licensed there is/was a program (no clue what it was called) where if you then found a job in what you went to school for you would get a guaranteed work visa... That being said finances need to be in order ...

Re: Class IV Flight Test
While you are demmoing your exercises ALWAYS be sure you have students attention. On my 4 the examiner had his nose out the window looking around while I was explaining something... Had to tell him to pay attention etc... If I hadn't noticed and said something it would have gone less well.. Also whe...

Job prospects as an AME-E ?
Hi all, Iv been out of the aviation game for a few years but considering throwing my hat back into the ring. I have ~1400 hrs (mostly PIC, with ~70 multi pic). But at the same time for the past 4 years I have been very involved with electronics industry, specifically design, prototyping, and trouble...

Re: Coastal Pacific Aviation In BC
Once again I hate to add to the broken fiddle sound, and I am NOT trying to say anything discouraging about any school, however.... Ask yourself where you want to be in 2-4 years time. If its flying Heavy Metal that's ONLY going to happen if you get lucky and make it into a cadet program like Cathay...
