The oil majors left because they got burned by the drop in global oil prices. Their own economists told them these were safe projects because oil was on it's way to $200 and would never drop below $100 again. The good thing is that they aren't coming back and the 2.5 remaining can more easily reign...

It's almost like potash prices being down 10% year over year, oil down 6.4% from 30 days ago and natural gas down 5% in the last week alone has plays no part. Canadian dollar in absolute free fall. Weakest of major currencies. Keep voting Liberal. Remember the days when Harper was in power. There w...

Not any expert, But looking ahead from a rationale viewpoint, If self - driving literally does become mainstream, Self Flying can’t be far behind. Arguably self driving has many more fast moving inputs to safely process (I feel safer flying with an IFR clearance than driving on the 401 in winter) P...

Accident report says that it was a regular 4-ship group with a new participant in the group on the right side of the diamond formation. The new guy in his C150 lost sight of the lead after they rolled out from a gentle right turn. He made a big mistake by turning fairly sharply left toward the lead ...

I've been all over the USA as a pilot, it's a dump, drugs and homeless people everywhere, crime infested cities, people don't go out at night but lock themselves in their apartments at night, rats everywhere in the city, and garbage everywhere. That's funny, I have seen all kinds of glittery areas ...

Bobs Liberals are more worried about police brutality in their use of force in stopping the stabbings, and the possibility of racism of everyone asking for more details about the suspect. It is amazing how much destruction some are willing to accept in order to be able to benefit financially from s...

Apparently Justin said that tariffs implemented because of his stupid policies as PM would decimate our economy. Then Trump said that Canada could become the 51st state. Justin begged and pleaded for this not to happen and Trump said there was only one wat that Justin could avoid this. Apparently, t...

Do we? How would an inspector identify which GFA you checked if you had crashed during your last flight? I don't think I have had paper trails for GFAs or other checks for over 10 years, barring the occasional check ride. It says 'if any'. If the instructors had reviewed any GFA, they would have no...

They report says that the investigators could not identify which GFA, if any was reviewed before flight. I think we know what that likely means. Do we? How would an inspector identify which GFA you checked if you had crashed during your last flight? I don't think I have had paper trails for GFAs or...

Solar and wind are the cheapest power source per kWH, but the Fraser Institute won't tell you that. They're busy taking money from Exxon Mobil, and companies owned by the Koch brothers. Unfortunately, supporters of foolish ideas endlessly post intentionally misleading info. Unreliable power doesn't...

I don't think it's hours because experienced guy do it too. I don't think everyone is aware of the inherent risk. They wouldn't be using the landing gear as a drag device when landing on water. That's asking for it. Best to just Always, Always, Always use a written landing checklist when operating ...

Haha. TRUDEAU Derangement Syndrome is alive and well. Yeah.. I can’t wait for a dollar back in the toilet again, legislated back to work, TFWs, a roller coaster oil economy, borrow and spend, and for us to follow the US into more jingoistic invasions the blowback of which literally had our last PM ...

Personally, I prefer the Flap 15 landing with the added 10 knots, especially with gusts or crosswinds, as the airplane does not seem to be affected as much by gusts and crosswinds with Flap 15 compared to Flap 35. Also, the max additive for gusts is 10 knots, so you are already at the max and don't...

One should be ready to catch sink with power, not pitch. Plenty of runway in this case, they could have come in with extra speed. I...

TDS alive and well. The tariff threat is an opening position to secure a better deal for the US. That's his job. And hopefully he snap a other countries to action, particularly our own which is extremely derelict in achieving or producing anything and meeting our commitments to our allies and our c...
