Thanks pdw.

Does anybody know whether tariffs currently apply to aeronautical products coming to Canada from the United States, or to aircraft repairs or aeronautical component overhauls done in the United States? If tariffs apply to aircraft repairs or aeronautical component overhauls, are the tariffs applicab...

For me- United Airlines. Get on the 737 on their GUM base. Years ago while I was kicking around Micronesia I met a silver-haired 737 FO, originally from Hawaii, but GUM based. They run an interesting milk run from GUM through the FSM and Marshall Islands to HNL, with several days layover in HNL. Sup...

No problem there. HNL is junior, especially if you are on the 717 doing inter-island flights. I got a friend whose in management there- he loves living in Hawaii.

In 2013, geopolitical expert Diane Francis published compelling political argument and business case for merging America and Canada into a geographical, political, and economic superpower in the form of a book named “Merger of the Century.” Thought provoking read. One thing that is very clear is tha...

Have been hearing too many conflicting opinions on this. Some people say you should never climb/descend in the downwind at an uncontrolled aerodrome (high wing climbing in to a low wing who is descending to join the circuit). When do you start your descent for landing? Configure abeam the touchdown...

If only there was an update with all of the new changes that arrived in your mail every 120 days that allowed you to be notified and read about all of the changes. I get that by having signed up and registering my preferences through TC's e-bulletin. https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/transport-canad...

The authoritative document is the Designated Airspace Handbook, available for free on the Nav Canada website.

The current one is available at https://www.navcanada.ca/en/dah20230810.pdf

The detailed description of the Ottawa TCA starts on Page 96.

Not sure what this means for them, could be nothing, could be something - but they got in bed with some no bullsheet mf's down in New York. I think their head office might be in Jersey. I have pondered this one. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they are organized enough to be aware of...

CAR 202.15(3) discusses a portion of flight time within Canada during a 6-month period for an entity that is not Canadian but is incorporated or formed under the laws of Canada or a province. Otherwise I have never heard of any “residency” requirement before, and such a thing would defy logic, so lo...

Yup. Once you get out of North America the customer experience goes up considerably.

As for pay and benefits, North America is the place to be, unless you are looking for a mercenary contract in China.

This is definitely the future however I think it will take awhile (20+ years) for regulators to approve it and it would probably start with cargo airlines first. We don't even have self driving trucks in wide use yet. I think we are closer than that. I am guessing as little as 4 years away for carg...

I am not a doctor so I can't contrast the medical standards but an FAA (or Transport Canada) Third Class/Category 3 Medical is an equivalent of an ICAO Class 2 Medical. An ICAO Class 2 Medical Assessment applies to the applicants for, and holders of private pilot licenses, glider pilot licenses and ...

I understand everyone wants their licence, permit or certificate, but have you checked yet if you fall under a COVID-19 exemption?

https://tc.canada.ca/en/initiatives/cov ... ort-canada

Yes indeed. Standard 424.16 Authority to Conduct Medical Examinations says you can. Not sure how long it takes for this, though. I did this routinely years ago. In the good times before COVID, it typically would take about 2 months before I got a new sticker in the mail. Until then, I wouldn’t have ...

Do Dispatchers at 705 airlines have non-rev Jumpseat privileges for commuting like pilots?

The answer: NO. Transport Canada has become aware of misinformation circulating in relation to COVID-19 vaccines and aviation Medical Certificate holders. Transport Canada would like to state clearly that COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved by Health Canada (Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and J...

Looks like the 737-200 that ditched off Honolulu started its airline career in 1975 as C-GDPW.

Fortunately the crew managed to make it to dry land.

Anybody know why Chrono Aviation went with painting their aircraft all black?

I have my own theories, just was curious to know from people who know (preferable to speculation).

They're still letting the Aussies and a few others fly on their visas in the US. It represents a problem for unemployed US citizen pilots because they are essentially a foreigner taking up what should be job slots for Americans, not unlike the Sunwing TFW thing. I know of one airline that has almos...

I understand that aeropolitics is a game and this is part of the act, but I doubt whether Canadian consumers really care. In any case, it isn't like Canadian carriers are the only airlines plying the international traffic market to/from Canada. But as I said, it's a game and so I understand what he ...
