Re: Garmin Emergency Autoland - Not a test
How does it know the pilot is incapacitated? Is it like new car technology where it doesn't get any input in x amount of minutes? Pretty cool technology. I asked google, it came back with this. ==== AI Overview Garmin Autoland can be triggered in two primary ways: manually by a pilot or passenger, ...

Re: Runway Excursion Thread
From Tsb.... C-GDCW, a Springbank Air Training College PA-34-200T, was on a local training flight out of Springbank Airport (CYBW), AB. During the landing, the aircraft landed approximately 1100 feet after the threshold on the ice-covered runway. The aircraft skidded approximately 20 feet past the ...

Re: Pilot Hiring 2025
Anyone interviewed in June/July and heard anything ? Ref checks ? Also, Will the increase of hiring jazz pilots cause pfo to ots? No. You wouldn't get a PFO because of Jazz hiring. You would be hired slightly later. They can barely afford to PFO anyone if you believe what you have read in this thre...

You have to select pay for a new rating and not license/permit. Confusing little website.

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.

You know of a crash pad that only has 6 pilots in it? Should pass on the info for those of us who live with 15 others. Kidding. Absolutel...

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.

Re: Navajo on YYC golf course Aug 16/2024
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. Maybe they just leave the plane in the bunker and introduce it as a new super hazard!

Re: YUL flight cancelled because pax asked for a blanket
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.

Re: Summer Ground School
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. I too have heard this 'rumor' have spoken to a couple FOs at AC that think they would have flowed to AC soone...

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.
