The word “camera” does not appear anywhere in the Aeronautics Act or the CARS. The word “video” only appears in relation to the use of video for cabin safety briefings. You are referring to the CTAISB Act, where it does address cockpit videos for all modes of transport. It does so in the same conte...

Cameras in the cockpit are protected under the Aeronautics Act under the same clause as CVR's. You can sue your employer for accessing that information. It's TSB's property.

FDM is fair game.

Looks like the gov't is about to pull the plug.

Anyone hear of what's going on with the ambulance service contract? The media, gov't and docs have gone quiet.

I'm assuming Perimter has the bariatric kits for the Metros right? Do the Metro's meet the performance requirements? I'm not familiar enough with them to know.

I think it's going to be interesting to see what the bigger international companies come in with.

Interesting. What's going to happen? Are they moving to a one operator in the province kind of deal? Wouldn't that be out of scope for this FRP? As far as I know, this is just about the life flight flights, which have a higher level of equipment/trained personell to accept more critical calls in sh...

Even with privatization, the government will still be screwing up its own ultimate control of dispatch etc that will lead to even more cost ineffectiveness let alone politicians dictating their delusional ideas of cost savings which will create new threats to aviation safety. ... Even with privatiz...

I gotta laugh. Everybody has their shorts twisted around their private parts because of a dried up frikin plant. You would think we are in 17th century Saudi Arabia, where they still chop hands off for stealing a loaf of bread. The root crime of the bread stealers is the horrible condition of hunge...

I personally don’t really see much of a problem with Joe having smoked a joint last week, just as I don’t care about that pint or two Bob drank last week. Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional so this is based on me asking some docs and me parroting the reply as best as I can. Alcohol clears t...

I've worked for union and non-union employers before. In my experience the union served a purpose initially. But the relationship between employee and employer became instantly antagonistic and good-will became a thing of the past. Trust eroded, bitterness grew, and by the time I left, all forward p...

Where can you find the mission numbers and financial details of both services?

About time! Looks like early summer.

I agree armchair. If you watch the YouTube videos of TC sitting in front of the Ontario government, one quickly realizes that TC must have been in full panic mode post accident. The conspiracy side of my mind thinks that TC and Ornge must be somehow fighting the report to the bitter end because they...

That probe, with no sign of a report, is now the longest-running aviation accident investigation in Canada.

Seems other investigations are wanting access to the CVR.

going on 3 years later they are still providing the guys with a Phase 11 in Moosonee :shock: If what helijay says is all true I think I'm starting to understand why we don't have a report to read yet. It wouldn't be hard to figure that TC would be very excited about this report coming out. So maybe...

Hmmm...Ornge is actually getting night vision goggles.

Did some searching (I've never heard of phase 2 either). Controller.com shows this Sikorsky S-76's AFCS as being "Phase II". Is that what you are referring to helijay? What's the difference between phase 3 and 2? Was the Mossonee accident on a phase 2 S-76? http://www.controller.com/listings/aircraf...

Didn't this crash happen in 2013? Anyone finding it strange that there isn't a report out yet?

I dunno why, but this whole story has really interested me. I've been following it closely since the Moosonee accident. I watched the video of TC in front of the government committee and I am baffled as to how they didn't suspend their OC when it was discovered that their night training was inadequa...

After all I have read about this organization, I'd suggest that the only reason TC hasn't shut them down is due to the POSSIBLE liability of shutting down an entire province's air ambulance. Read the Standing Committee Report. My jaw dropped on more than one occasion. http://www.scribd.com/doc/22757...

It's not just having two engines either. Two engines equals two separate sources of power. Might be handy if you're IMC and have a single gen failure and a few hundred nautical miles from the nearest landing strip. Also, down the in the US there are airstrips EVERYWHERE (with the exception of Alaska...

I'd be pretty interested in the results of your research Gilles. I know too many guys who aren't able to get a start on their hours. Meanwhile someone with an accent shows up and mysteriously gets hired even though the operator was all tooled up for the season. It boggles my mind.

Interesting article. I flew in and around the north for close to 10 yrs and didn't receive any additional training because I was flying in remote areas. I learned by watching and listening and doing. I highly doubt that the two pilots involved were unaware of the challenges involved with flying in ...
