You guys know that dope is still illegal for pilots, yeah? Quit rolling them 4 paper bombers boys…

Background: -passed my flight test a month ago -paperwork has been completed since then -CFI of school gets let go the day before he is supposed to sign off Go to Transport to get signed off. Person behind the desk is quite helpful, mentioning that they were discussing what to do about people from ...

That is abusive to the aircraft IMHO. That's what Senecas and the like are for. Oh well, free country, have at her.

I guess money talks but I think you will find it hard. Generally they come with crew. If that's something you would consider PM me.

The flesh and bones have been beaten off of this dead horse.

I agree with him for once, except where he blames capitalism. This has been done purely 100% by pilots to pilots. Low time guys feel they just gotta fly so they do it for free.

Yep. Have had dealings with them several times over the years. Andy is helpful and the shop is quick and properly priced. I gladly use them when we are up there and broken.

Why? Because they can. Just like why a dog licks his balls.

Were you looking to learn how to take off and steer but not land?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I don't know if the ISU actually knows what the plan is going to be during the Olympics. Could go either way I suppose. We've been doing better the last couple of months. Generally in the winter months the turbines sit a lot more than they have this year which has been good. And spring/summer is loo...

One should never look for a TC inspector. They're here to help, they'll find you.

Agreed not much movement in the job front but loads are WAY up over last xmas. At least in cargo. It has been 10 days of non stop flying. At least half again last xmas. About time.

It might have something to do with NavCan's incredible lack of efficiency?

I can't get Xm working here, at least not for METARS. It will work for NEXRAD but not for METARS. I am using a US address and it works fine when we're flying in the states. Any advice on this Ahramin?

I've got one with 21.5thou on it.

Minor detail, but XM weather is not available in Canada. I wish it were.

Thank you Adam. I appreciate that. I guess you did fly with Jer a lot. I'm sure you did learn a lot from him and it would have been rock solid real world lessons.

How about this....I've known Jeremy and the Mills family since I was little. I think this tragic event can be linked to the "Poorly Paid, Often Tired, Junior Pilots" . Jeremy would bust his ass painting during the day on top of flying at night so he could make some $$$. We all know how much those g...

Typical. This is why I don't post much on here anymore and why I have never posted in a forum regarding an accident. Widow, as I have spoken to you on the phone and through email before, I ask for respect to the lost souls and the damage to all that this senseless thread be locked. As information de...

I see now we have to buy another piece of paper for the flights we are not allowed to do during the olympics. Great. Nav Canada has succesfully reinvented the straight line. They have discovered (in YVR anyways) that the shortest distance between two points is in fact not a straight line. It is much...

I guess VNC and VTA sales were in the tank. This should pick em right back up.

For commercial there are a set of minimums that are sometimes AOC specific. For private (years since I've done it) I'm pretty sure if you have an IFR rating and an IFR aircraft you can go with passengers. If you're just getting your IFR though you should think about logging some IFR time before you ...

I've got a ho (350) with over 20,000 on it. Flys just fine. As fine as a ho can fly anyway.

You know I have heard that the cub is the safest airplane ever made. It can just barely kill you.

I'd say its about the same maybe a little better than same time last year.
