Re: Failed PPL Flight Test twice
As for the second part - Since you are limited to how many stalls you can ask to see as an examiner, you should focus on realism. Might as well as for accelerated stall with full flaps, because it can happens even if you compromise the integrity of the flaps - it can happen. This might not be profe...

Re: AA plane catches fire at KDEN
Is this how evacuations are supposed to happen? Looking at the video, seems there was a significant fire on the pavement under the plane. My first thought before I read what happened, it was a fuel spill that ignited. Is possible they couldn't use the slide because it would drop folks right into th...

Re: What are "airport restriction" in Calgary
This particular day there was a water main break in Fort McMurray that caused a bunch of cancelations. So if the plane was an RJ maybe it was stuck up there.

Can't even feel sorry for this moron. Just for everyone else's lives he ruined. You have a duty as a pilot when passengers are trusting you. Church is not this important.

Re: AIRAF class 4 letter of recommendation?
I recommend that you study more, and you'll find the answer as to whether you need to complete the groundschool to write the exam. Don't try and cheat the system, you'll be doing a disservice to your prospective students.

And somehow they doubled their prices without ever improving the course. I agree they should leave the plane...it'll make the course more attractive.Gear Jerker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2024 11:06 am Wingfield is in pretty rough shape to begin with.

Any internal acknowledgment of this incident at AC? Hopefully she has been suspended/fired by now. Suspended? Fired? Are you mad? There is clearly more to the story.

IMO, the company also has a perception issue to fix regarding upgrades; a lot of people believe it will hinder their chances at getting hired by Air Canada; which is hopefully just a rumor.

Anywhere from 400-600. If you're YVR Q400 you could end up on the lower end if you do YCD/YYJ all day everyday.
