A technical contact tells me that spaced-based ADSB is indeed different from ground-based. Ground based transmissions only occur in response to a ping from a ground station. Space-based reception requires transmission in the blind. So a system installed for ground-only operations, not intended for ...

How much cheaper can it possibly be to build some big facility in Kingston and move tower controllers from across the country and install all this new equipment, then to continue to operate the towers that are already there? This is assuming that these controllers even want to move to Kingston. It d...

My personal belief is this has more to do with the fact that EIC has all but monopolized northern flying and government contracts. There's little incentive for them to look for work because its easier to return value to their shareholders via guaranteed fed money. The previous owners of Canadian Nor...

You know you guys could email the CIRB and they’ll gladly give you all the filings.

who would go to africa for that sort of pay with that sort of responsibility? hell, they'll only send you down in economy. no round trip tickets back home.

I've only flown one plane, from boeings to cessnas, that didn't have dual GA plugs. On the plane that had an XLR plug, the company put adapters in.

Don't forget, the MEC (local council reps) can vote by roll call or a show of hands. It's their choice which way to vote. Show of hands is certainly more common and less toxic, but if they feel strongly about an issue, any rep can ask for a roll call vote.

Wow, 2000 hours flying experience. Where do I sign up?

Stamp the expired booklet.

Just curious - how did the real elected reps vote in the motion to accept the AIP? YUL - 2 yes YYZ - 3 no YWG - 3 yes YVR - 1 yes 1 no How did YWG (50 pilots?) end up with 3 votes? Seems a little insulting to the other large bases who represent hundreds (thousands?) of pilots. In reality the YWG re...

New E2 hire with a question. I've got my own set of black luggage coming from a previous employer (luggage linked below). Wondering if this would fit well in the E2 and if it would raise any eyebrows if I used my own that I know and like versus the issued stuff. TIA! https://www.briggs-riley.com/pr...

Most or all FSDOs will do it, or have a list of DPEs who can complete the process. It would help if we knew where you are.

Here is a list of all the FSDOs in the US. Call the closest one and ask.

Hello guys, I converted my FAA CPL with instrument Rating to TCCA but now I want to apply for an ATPL. I wrote FAAIA instead of INRAT to get my instrument rating. So, I am wondering if I can use the FAAIA result instead of INRAT? Has anyone ever done this before? The important thing is the instrume...

You can join as an FO and wait your turn like all the qualified pilots on property.

Never heard of someone having issues entering as a visitor or flight crew after an I-140 rejection. An I-140 isn't a visa application. I have an in progress I-130 (family based) for a few years and no issues since. I asked a customs agent once if she could see it, she said yes, but you selected cons...

Fellow Pilots, Our brothers and sisters at WestJet Encore have voted down TA1 and, as of this Wednesday afternoon, have issued a 72-hour notice to strike. The notice has been delivered for possible work action this coming Saturday at 6pm MT. The WestJet MEC wishes to convey that all WestJet pilots s...

Getting an I-140 denied will not effect you gaining entry to the United States. Maybe a few questions about your intent, but that should be pretty easy to overcome when you say you're a pilot. What pilot is working as an illegal immigrant? There is no automatic 10 year ban for getting declined on a ...

Website seems to work fine now. No "worldticket" redirect.

I think Flair used Worldticket before they expanded and had the 777 investment.

I asked for one when I applied for my ATP as proof of the multi engine flight test. Otherwise, transport or the company will surely provide one to you.

I suggest asking any conflicting traffic to please advise on the approach control frequency.

But for real there is no widely used "en route" frequency. Get flight following or look out the window.

Is it really that hard to provide a plastic card like the Americans (or even AMEs)?

If money or other consideration changes hands, you need at least a Commercial Pilots License. If your good friend says hey, I bought a plane in Vancouver, would you like to fly it back for me, I'm very busy with work, and he doesn't pay you for your time, then you would only need a Private Pilots Li...

Who the hell voted yes to this pile of dog shit?

Could go with the Zulu 3 as well. Fantastic and durable headset.
