Re: what if one engine fails on twin engined piston aircraft

I am wondering, if an aircraft can still fly/reach nearest airport/land in case of one engine failure on a small twin engine piston aircraft with no more than 3-4 people on board. What are chances of survivals? for example - Beechcraft Baron series aircrafts. I googled and found articles only about...

Re: Boeing Tumbles on Grand Jury Subpoena Probing 737 MAX Approval

From a pilots' point of view, the MAX should have been a clean sheet design. It should have been a baby 787 incorporating the advances from that plane to this generation. Boeing did have plans for a clean-sheet narrow body design to replace the 737NG and 757. Cost overruns and millions of dollars i...

Admins, please delete if you feel this is not the place for this and I apologize in advance if it is. But I wanted to share an experience I was witness to while flying through Red Deer at about 1830Z yesterday.

Re: KENTING

Mr. Google Google doesn't answer everything. The best I can find is that Kenn Borek bought Kenting for its northern operation (formerly Atlas Aviation), primarily with DC-3s in the mid-1970s. That's where dhc#'s DC-3 crash comes into play. Kenting used to have all sorts of survey airplanes (Canso, ...

KENTING

Can anyone here shed some light on Kenting Aviation and its activities in the late 1970s and 80s. I believe it disappeared around 1986.

Cheers,

It wouldn't be CF-YQG would it?

It's been a few years since I wandered the ramp at Penhold. They've increased security since then, requiring someone to escort you around.

Re: Plus Seats

Because changing seats on a 100+ airplane fleet can run into millions of dollars, and there are other programs and projects that have higher priority right now. New seats will come, it'll just take time.

Re: Susi Air AT802F

The spec sheet on the Susi Air webpage calls it an "AT802 Fuel Hauler."

http://susiair.com/air-tractor

I suspect they copied and pasted their general description for the 802 from Wikipedia.

You're used to seeing the retardant tank for firefighting. That Air Tractor has a larger one for hauling fuel.

Re: DeHavilland DH-89A Rapide On Floats

I just so happen to work with the pilot's son, so I trust this story. Apparently the Rapide had been all loaded up when the flight was cancelled due to weather. The next morning, he did an expedited inspection, then took off without checking the fuel tanks. During the night, someone had helped thems...

Re: Sharing is caring - How did you %$# up?

I once traveled quite a distance for the opportunity to flew a rather rare airplane. It had been raining that morning, but the clouds were breaking up when we got to the farm strip outside Montreal where the plane was kept. Along the way we stopped and filled a 10 gallon jerry-can with gas, then dum...
