chu me Boris Karloff could have been the Prime Minister for all it mattered!! The simple fact is that for decades operators had been complaining - very vocally in some cases like Canadian Pacific Airlines and Pacific Western Airlines - and the general consensus when I first entered the Canadian avia...

Chu Me Thanks for reminding me of Bill C-18 - like you I lived through the process - having worked in the industry since 1973. As is usual the Bill got passed after the deed was actually done and the process was designed to be gradual. New regulation introduced in 1986 Bill C-18) - finalized in 1988...

Deregulation – some good things – some not so good things!! Before deregulation the aviation industry consisted of two groups – the big guys and the little guys. Since the big guys had the government in their deep pockets – especially the government corporation of Trans Canada Air / Air Canada and ...

Bede Propeller Bolts for Wood Fixed Pitch Propeller Wood propellers require a balance between too loose and to tight in regards to the clamping force of the fasteners as applied to the hub faces. The correct torque on the fasteners will produce a clamping force sufficient to prevent movement of the ...

Flaps 78 Do you remember "Don Hamilton?" - not the one who owned Airspray but was chief pilot for Northward etc.?? Link to his book here: http://www.flyingoverloaded.ca/index.html and here: http://www.flyingoverloaded.ca/author.html Link to an upside down Dornier here: http://www.flyingoverloaded.ca...

If there was an example with the original airframe still able to hold up its ...

Looks and sounds even nicer in flight!!

Boreas Would you get a Gen Amps readout if this was the case? If so, you could easily confirm the situation. Not that I have ever seen. My understanding of the effect is that the generator windings act as a "Dynamic Brake" that works against the starter effort. In the same way for example as the gea...

Andy mtl I don't have a lot of time on the 208 but I do have 40 years on PT6 engines. All of the installations that I have seen include a "Field Disconnect Relay" - or something similar but called a different name - that is installed in the "Generator" Field circuit. The purpose of the disconnect re...

Lots of fuelling out of drums… dunno what the big deal is. The skinny line leading into the cockpit in the first picture is connected to the bleed air system and one engine is run to supply the air pressure through a regulator to pressurize the fuel drum. Pressure pushes fuel up the standpipe and t...

Lethal Hobo The short answer is NO!!! with a possible YES!!! TC decided many years ago that the information that you need to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer was important enough that you needed to complete and pass an "Approved" course. Now your post speaks to "Attending" a course - which I ...

Check the piston ring end gaps.

I had a cylinder turn blue on the initial run-in due to this problem and it was only the 1 cylinder that was affected. I don't remember if it was the top one but on choked cylinders it is often the culprit.

Here is a picture of the Klondike in 1957 - Whitehorse - this was when they had all been removed from service - and before the Klondike was moved and of course the big fire. Aviation content!! That's me w...
