Re: Don't Jump on the Brakes Unless Really Necessary
The devil is in the (somewhat lacking) details. Were they trying to avoid causing a taxiway incursion, or were they trying to avoid an aircraft that had pulled in front of them? There is nothing about another aircraft. I assume that they were advised to hold short of a taxiway. Just like a runway i...

Re: Hand swinging
When I used to handprop the old Champ on skis, the throttle was cracked open ever so slightly. Didn't have any problems. If it won't start and you get to the point of opening the throttle significantly, you need someone or something to restrain the aircraft. C-GHNC, a private Cessna 172M, was en ro...

Re: How will Immediate roadside prohibition affect career as an airline pilot ?
Alright folks, OP messed up and is big enough of a person to admit it and own up to it. That's more maturity than a lot of the posters throughout this forum in my opinion. And I doubt they'll be doing it again. All the best in your pursuit. Flying is a beautiful thing, and I hope you can keep your ...

Don't Jump on the Brakes Unless Really Necessary
To avoid an accident....OK(which is really rare). To avoid a taxiway incursion.....not a good idea. C-GENU, a WestJet Encore De Havilland DH8C-8-400, was operating as flight WEN3146 from Fort McMurray Airport (CYMM), AB, to the Calgary International Airport (CYYC), AB. While taxiing to the runway in...

Business aviation could be legislated out of existence along with unnecessary general aviation. We now see articles claiming carbon emissions are racism and the PM steal...

Re: All Survive Crash Of Historic Goose Amphib
Any updates on this ? The pilot is being touted as a hero but hard to believe two R-985s can quit without some serious negligence on the part of the pilot . And how was he unable to make the water southbound off the runway in Bella Bella ? This airplane was sank 2 years ago due to a missing drain p...
