Suoer busy airspace in that area. Used to rent a Cherokee Cruiser out of Langley and airspace was at a premium.

The FMS fuel predictions are extremely accurate. They had about a 70 knot headwind compenent on the return to YYZ. Is there a scenario where the FMS might not have had accurate wind data loaded after they had re-programed the diversion ? I think modern FMS's take current wind into account. But who ...

I appreciate your post and review Old Fella. I agree with all your points. Air Canada (and Toronto) have become world class. I really hope the Canadian economic downturn over the past few years won't set things back again. What Canadian economic downturn? Except 2022 everything has been on the up a...

So I've been thinking about wearing sunscreen and moisturizer when I'm flying. Seems like spending 8+ hours above 30000ft exposes us to some UVA rays coming in from the cockpit side windows. Also the low humidity (apparently half that of the Sahara desert) ain't great. Does anyone else wear sunscre...

The theory of one of the airlines that I have worked at(High safety ranking) was that the flights typically get dispatched with min fuel in accordance with their policies(which did have extra fuel for certain weather forecasts). Yes, the captain could take extra. But if the forecast showed good weat...

What about Buffalo and Rochester?

Does AC Regional have the approach plates and FMC data for such locations?

I just wish that we could change the constitution so that we could have some Alberta common sense running this country. Worked well for a decade. That being said, their big city leaders prove that there is not as much common sense as you might think.

Any ideas as to what's boosting AC.TO? I see we reset our 52 week high. I've heard speculation that the market seems to know who the next CEO is going to be but I can't find anything on google. Oil, war, labor stability with the majority of contracts under TA's, all of the above? If I may from a cu...
