Re: Taxes, Accountant, Write-Offs - ??

I've been doing my own taxes for years and this time paid an accountant. I wanted to see if I was making any errors...He filed it the exact same as I would have but I'm a bit poorer for the experience.

Re: UPS MD-11 Crash in Louisville

NTSB press briefing confirmed engine departed during t/o roll.

Saw another video where #2 was getting compressor stall, possibly from FOD?

RIP to those we lost.

Re: Trevor Jacob "staged" plane crash

Good question. I did skim through one of his videos after reading he was demonetized and he mentioned "getting out of jail". So that would indicate he spent some time there.

Re: Trevor Jacob "staged" plane crash

Just a follow-up on this thread. I was curious today what the outcome of the whole things was. It turns out Trevor did 6 months in jail, lost his pilots license for a year, but now has it back. He plead guilty to an obstruction of justice charge admitting the entire thing was a hoax.

Re: Torn Between Aviation and Computer Science: Seeking Advice from the Aviation Community

My daughter left aviation early in her training to do CS / programming. Everything is going offshore, she's out of work only been able to get short contract stuff lately. She would have been better off right now as a pilot. But that could change soon? Do what you love the most.

Re: NFLD 100LL

I had planned this trip back in 2017 but never made it. We ended up spending a week in PEI waiting on VFR weather. The flight school in Gander was going to sell us fuel, worth asking.

Re: Fire resistant clothing

Look at nomex underwear on racing sites. I used to wear them when I ran stock cars.

A little overkill?

Re: Cost of Training to Become a Commercial Pilot in Canada?

I bought a plane to do my PPL. We put 400 hours on it in 4 years and sold it for what we paid. It worked out well, but I guess I got lucky with minimal repairs.

Brazil ATR 72-500 Spin/Crash

Looks like a fairly well developed spin in the videos online. Sad for all the people on board, all died. (58 + 4 crew)

I just re-watched it on a larger screen. Seems you are correct. Glad everyone is ok, could have been much much worse.

Re: Glider fatality Alberta May 29/2024

I wonder if he bailed too low for the chute to have time to deploy or if it just didn't open.

Sad news for the gliding community. That is the 2nd one that club lost in 5 years, there was a mid-air collision with the tow plane a few years ago.
