http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/08/11/jet-crashes-after-unauthorized-take-off-from-seatac-airport-officials-say.html Funny looking Q400 What's funny about it? At least one article I saw had the tail of something far smaller than a Q400 sticking out of the water. A lot of reporting on specialized...

Russell #rcmpmb responded to plane crash at Russell Airport this morning. 53yo male pilot from Wpg received minor injuries. Winds were strong at the time of the crash. @TSBCanada has been notified

both black boxes recovered.

Yes. Each first degree murder charge adds 25 years to his parole ineligibility if convicted. Kind of. If he's convicted on the extra murder charges he will be sentenced to 25 years without parole. More often than not the sentences are concurrent to the original sentence. However the 25 years would ...

The news says Dellen and his co accused are guilty! YES!! Justice for the Bosma family but it won't bring Tim back. Hope they both rot for life. I have no doubt that Mark Schmidt was more along for the ride, but that is still his problem. Next, Millard's pending 1st murder charges for his dad and e...

Next, Millard's pending 1st murder charges for his dad and ex gf. Indeed! Does Millard still face prosecution for this too? Being in jail for one crime does not insulate you from prosecution for another - correct? I was at an AMO a couple of years back, chatting with a staff member. He drew my atte...

Mirage might work. Oh really? That's interesting as all Mirages are single engine. He may have meant the Rafale, there was some talk a while back about Dassault offering it up as an alternative. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/f-35-s-french-rival-pitches-canadianized-fighter-jet-1.2577234 I've no i...

There is nothing about bad judgement, reliability, or marijuana anywhere in the Aviation Security Regulations. There is nothing about being convicted of any crime, or a dozen crimes, as long as they don't come under criminal organization clauses in the Criminal Code. The objective of the regulation...

Come to think of it, does the average jet engine even generate enough suction at idle to lift a person off their feet? I know it would be an unpleasant place to be but never been there myself so I don't know how violent it would be. Suicide? Dunno about the A319, but this happened on an aircraft ca...

It's more likely that this operator has stepped on enough toes in their short life that they have a big target on their back now. Otters are likely flying in and around cloud all summer long in YXL and never get reported like this. Piss enough people off though and local community are going to find...

edit - clever post Pelmet, but that party has left the current policy of in place, so they are no different. When did the ethnic policy begin anyways? Well as it's in the charter, they'd have a hard time not leaving it there. Equality before and under law and equal protection and benefit of law 15....

Air France is a little more hard nosed about it.

I wonder if one would need a type rating for a amateur-built with a Vne > 250, but wing loading less than 20.4. Yes. "amateur-built aeroplane" is a subset of aeroplane. It would be a high performance aircraft under paragraph a, regardless of whether it qualified under paragraph b. 101.1(1) ... “aer...

Absolutely ZERO blame should go to the fueller. Mistakes happen, but there are systems in place to detect these errors and correct them before someone dies. Uh, no. Yes, assuming the fuel was the issue the final responsibility lies with the pilot, but that doesn't relieve the fueler of the responsi...

Hope everyone comes out ok. Did they run out of gas again?

The whole tail broke away during a practice flight.

Whatever happened to him?

He became the man from UNCLE.

I'd be mighty impressed if Buddy managed to do anything near what he claims other than kill me with laughter. The IFE boxes I've had to swap out on 737-800s must be less fancy than the ones he claims to have compromised. How many people even have access to Parallel or DB-9 connectors on their compu...

Apparently they're looking at a possible issue with how the software for the engine was installed.
