Re: Cascade Aerospace BC
Try Premier Aviation in Trois-Rivieres. They do Westjet, Canadian North, First Air, B727, B737 etc.

Re: New Twin Otter set to fly
That's not the first time that A/C has flown. It was manufactured in 1974. Check the registry for C-FDHT. Anyone can upgrade the avionics and engines on a -300. Borek does it all the time. Let me know when Viking actually flies their own metal.

Re: Bad business practice or good business practice?
This also happened to me once. The thing was, I was flying YYZ-YYC and the flight I was on was a hour late. When my bag didn't show for my flight, I spoke to the CSAs and they said my bags would be on the next flight and setup the $100 credit file. The next flight arrived only 15 minutes after my fl...

I don't think you require a LSTC for a skytrac install. The only reason you would require one if you were installing the antenna in a pressurized area. A skytrac system does not affect the AFM and is not required equipment such as a GPS,NAV,COM etc. It is classified as a minor mod with a W&B and Ele...

Cariboo Ad
I think someone should check the spelling in that Cariboo ad that shows up to the Right.

I think a recap of the last week of NCA is in order. Far too many rumours by Avcanada "experten" being perpetuated. (if you don't hear a rumour by 10AM... start one!). The company appears to be doing fine. Flying is down, but there is no layoffs to pilots yet, and I doubt there will be (of course, ...

If there are layoffs at Cariboo I don't think it has anything to do with the oil patch slowing. Cariboo recevied 2 additional DHC-8s and there is another on the way bringing the total to 5. They have sold 1 1900c and are looking to sell more of their smaller aircraft(90s and 100s) so I've heard. Als...

If Kelowna wages are in the top 5% why are they having such a hard time finding people? I guess sometimes the sunshine can brainwash you, eh. I've worked there and believed every word until I seen the outside world. I understand, I'm not trying to put you down. Nice weather, good shifts, almost like...

The hand held unit you are refering to is most likely a Traffic system which isn't TCAS. The systems airdcraft will be required to have are either a TCAS or a TCAS II system. The TCAS I provides visual and aural warnings (TA). The TCAS II provides TA and RA warnings. If two aircraft have TCAS II are...

Actually the MI-8/17 is probably the best choice for a medium lift chopper. There has been more than 10,000 of them built and they can be converted to a gunship very simular to the Mi-24 hind. The Mi-26 is far to large to operate effectively. The Mi-26 can move a payload simular to a C-130 but is ve...

Western Seperation
Should Western Canada seperate? A recent poll sugests that at least 40% of Alberta would vote yes on a referendom.
