Re: Summit ATR

Okay. I don't need to know a guy. My numbers are accurate for what your T4 will show. Not the base salary posted on the company pay scale. Yes First Air is looking for Yellowknife ATR FO's. I think upgrades happen after approximately 10 years lately in Yellowknife. I suspect you aren't applying, but...

Re: Summit ATR

90K would be the bottom of the pay scale not flying very much. If you have the experience in the add you should get 105-110 on your T4 at the end of a full year. Senior guy at the top of the pay scale doing training and checking would probably do 130-140.

Re: First Air Crash Resolute Bay August 20 2011

It's ridicules but, there used to be a GPS IAF fix on the ILS approach. Nav Canada removed it from the approach I believe, the update just before the crash. Not sure why, but it was nice having the same approach loaded in the box you were about to fly. If nothing else makes your situational awarenes...

Re: First Air Crash Resolute Bay August 20 2011

Why do we uncouple our compass when we transition to NDA? CID is right that INS or IRS systems are expensive so heaven forbid the regulator made them mandatory. However the magnetic north pole has move 900 miles since NDA was created and yet the line is in the same place. We uncouple our compass and...

Re: First Air Crash Resolute Bay August 20 2011

Colonel Sanders....so what you are saying is that you would have also started a descent with the LOC at full scale deflection? The heading error, although a factor in the entire accident, was not a significant factor in my opinion. And let's discuss for a moment WHY the compass was in error. When t...

Re: "Commercial pilots need stall recovery experience" artic

A stall is a stall, but I think it's the recovery they are getting at. A high lift wing like a Citabria all you really have to do is release the back pressure. A jet at altitude you have to pitch down significantly to break the stall or you will ride it all the way down. Apparently some of the peopl...

Re: First Air - Dec 11 2013 - Norman Wells

Contrary to what some think -- it was not a bad decision -- we were trained to make a definite plan to go some where immediately - by the time all the house keeping is done it would be a difference of minutes one going to YK or returning to the wells -- so for a few minutes of air time in stable fl...

A big reason of why I am proponent for certification is the separate Legal Representation thats needed in case the worse should happen.

Re: Bearskin Metro 3 CYRL accident - Speculation thread

Nor will you hear anything official until the report is published -- which could be in 18 to 24 months -- Always wondered why it takes the time it does. Never been involved in an investigation, but the Americans feed information as it comes to pass. Politics. Plain and simple. The waiting defiantly...

Air North's new run

Be interesting to see how well this works. Super convenient way to get across the country. Yukon's Air North is adding a flight from Whitehorse to Ottawa via Yellowknife, it announced Thursday.

Re: Accident in YRL Nov 10, 2013

The TSB says that the crew declared some sort of emergency about 10 minutes back. The survivor says that there was some sort of engine problem. The crew were not able to maintain altitude, assuming that the final moments of the flight were with a failed/shutdown engine. Those are three facts. The f...

Re: the dreaded 3 engine a380

We had to demonstrate 2 engines out on the same wing normally at max landing weight on every ride, so I don't think it would be much of a stretch for the A380 to fly on two. We didn't even declare an emergency on 3. Lots of operational considerations like hydraulic pumps and generators to take into ...

Re: First Air Crash Resolute Bay August 20 2011

I expect that some courtesy is extended to MP's in this type of things. I don't think it involved reading the report, it may not have involved any communication with the TSB at all. However, the draft report has been circulated, so there are already a good number of people who know what it contains...

The crash had something to do with a switch within the navigation setup on board the aircraft. -- speculation turns in fact yet again -- the entire report will be here soon enough and it will be what it is, nothing more, nothing less -- as a group we always seem to try and out think ourselves -- Th...

Re: Porter's future

I don't think you'll see jets out of the island. Even if they do extend the runway to 5000' as proposed, I can't see it being long enough unless the C Series has some amazing STOL capabilities we don't know about. Deluce likely wants it extended just for the Q400s. He can sell his delivery slots on...
