Re: Send in the Army tonight, TO Panic.....winter arrives

Any ice accumulation beyond the protected surfaces of the wing is severe icing. I feel sometimes we are to generous or under-report in our PIREPS.

Re: Multi PIC

I agree with all the above posts, and to add, some aviation companies require 500 MPIC for their pilots to do certain contracts. In Ontario the MNR and the MOH have certain MPIC requirements for Captains to operate on the contract. Even a 337 with Discovery Air on their posts says 1000 Hours Total a...

Each shift is 12 hours long, Day Shifts are 7AM-7PM and Night Shifts are 7PM-7AM. You need to be at work for the full 12 hours even if there are n...

Re: pilot wages

What does the Hicks and Lawrence pay their 337 pilots these days to do fire patrol? That I know they pay for housing, if we can get an accurate number it would be comparable, minus the expensive food prices and General living in the north.
