Re: RNP "Short Gate"
One Q about the new runway... how are the taxi times for departure off of the new 34 going to be. The same as the old one, or is the new runway going to be offset to the north compared to the old??? http://www.yyc.com/data//1/rec_imgs/55_New_Runway_looking_SW.jpg?refresh=293 Source: http://www.yyc....

Re: A380 Tail Strike
The double contact was not planned. Check out this clip from a documentary about the plane:

Re: A380 Min Velocity Take off test
I'm aware its a certification test. Its pretty obvious even without reading the video title. And its still a tail strike even if its a test. I was pointing out that in the first video there was ground contact with both the "crush can" and the further aft tail section. This doesn't happen in the sec...

Re: Hold Clearance
Specially with one that would require the aircraft to cross the VOR to get to the radial that they would be holding on. Why go to the VOR first then go to the DME?! Aircraft that don't have GPS or RNAV systems, can't go direct a radial/DME fix (unless they are on that radial already, and can just f...

Re: Hold Clearance
"XXXX cleared to the Calgary VOR 170 radial, 10 dme fix, via direct the Calgary VOR direct, maintain 7,000. Hold between 10 and 20 dme. Expect approach clearance at HHMM." That would be the clearance for the holding situation you had described. And AuxBatOn is correct, 5 DME is typically too close t...

Re: Q about navigation databases
I don't know if it is still available, but there used to be an online database (I think it was called DAFIF). I used it a few times with different programs, I'm sure you can find a copy with enough digging online.

Can somebody elaborate on this picture ...please ... what capability does the a/c have.. float? http://www.tom-phillips.info/images/cool.pics.military.3/image.304.jpg I don't think the airframe can actually float, but with power on and good piloting they can do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Re: question for ZEG ACC controllers "climb to and maintain"
There was a change in MANOPS that indicated simply saying "maintain" was causing confusion with some pilots, mostly overseas flights. Controllers must now say "cleared to", "climb to", or "descend to". Maintain can still be used in conjunction with climb and descend, but not on its own unless the ai...

I get the feeling I'll be waiting until january for an assessment session in vancouver.

Re: Pilots need to learn how to file CADORS
so your saying the pilots have no voice? there is only a system in place to point fingers at pilots? yes your right.. we pilots are the only ones at fault..i bet even if planes could fly themselves we would still have a job because someone needs to take the blame.. I don't think CADORs are meant to...

Re: Fly your IFR route as cleared
On an other note, do you guys read the equipment code before clearing someone direct? I have been cleared NUMEROUS times direct from 300 nm away from a station and everytime, as you said, I would come back "Unable direct request initial vector"?

Re: Fly your IFR route as cleared
Thanks, but I knew for the airways. I was wondering off airways. But I guess on Radar it doesn't make a difference from what I understand? You need to maintain 5NM so if you clear me direct YQT for example, you'll keep an eye on me and that would be the end? Exactly right, we'll keep an eye on you ...
