Easy peasy. Wished I did that years ago. Thought wife had a vanilla white car. Holy. White car. Anyways. Simple process simple. Went in and said to eye doctor I’m a commercial pilot. Got in right away on priority list. After did simple exam and doctor made paperwork to transport. On licence says ocu...

Considering this flight was last one for the boys/girls with an easy laid back approach. Bet they started early in day to get to Toronto then fly across country. I'd say fatigued is a BIG factor on this one.

MU II. Worst ice magnet I've flown. Picked up ice on nose and prop spinners and made cup like shapes. Slowed aircraft down quickly and unable to maintain altitude many times

The reason that we need PPc types is for two reasons. 1. For contrail requirement 2. To compliment the young hour captains. We don't and won't hire pilots on merit or right of entilement that some of you think you deserve. We hire mostly on personality and integrity. The king air is our entry job po...

All twin turbine under 12,575 lbs. do not require a POC unless you wish to do RNAV approaches, RVSM and any other items that require OPs specs.

King Air 200 and below, fly like a Cessna 172. Sorta

That is true, just gets my goat that the car was in pristine condition when I left it.

Just received a letter in the mail from Enterprise Rent-A-Car Damage Recovery Unit. They are claiming there was a scratch on a bumper that cost $200 to repair. This rental was a pick up and drop off at Monterey Jet Center. To protect yourself, take photos before and after your rental. Enterprise con...

I see that the new Million Air FBO is finally being constructed next door to the new Sunwest hanger. Heard opening late august. Wonder if they will sell Avgas and give Landmark a run on it

LO..PLUS that damn $55 Transport fee for each medical, PLUS ECG every 12 months..

One other item that a lot of new pilots forget is that for example: 120 hours in 30 days doesn't mean 30 calendar days like from April 1st to April 30th. Means 30 days from March 9th to April 8th, then March 10 to April 9 and so on. Need a program or make an excel program to keep track. In this case...

Its not TC per say...its CTA pullling the license for the OC's...if said company is not paying security fees to CTA or not having proper paper work for sub charter between companies or even not displaying tariffs and such in the office could be violation and have the license pulled for 30 days.........

Happen to me a few times with CMA. DEGRVTY is very correct. What usually happens, arrivining in icing conditions with a short turn around, if you dont put heat on while taxing YOU WILL get the stall horn activiated as soon as you have any back pressure on the control wheel.. Had that three times the...

Actually, for commercial operations, you are not allowed to fly in RVSM airspace without TCAS II after July 1/09 (in canada). You can fly in RVSM airspace with TCAS I privately. USA RVSM you can still use TCAS I, even though TCAS isnt required there. Wait until Dec 31, 2010. All twin turbine aircraf...

"Directed at this or any other Lear pilot: What would the effect of a blown tire have on your ability to stop for a rejected takeoff at V1 or below? What braking assumptions are built into the type of balanced field requirements (Part 135?) that this flight would presumably have been subject to? " T...

NICE!! So if i happen to blow the first ride, i lose $15,000. Utter bullshit. At the very least, contract should be active AFTER training and ride. Either way, would never apply...

I DO I DO.. CMA used to hire rampies too, but were contract workers and not pilots..when a change a management came, so did the thought process. "Lets get pilot wannabees to work the ramp". Back in the old day, i trained 350 hr to 1500 hr type guys in the 1900. Only let one 500 hr guy go due to lack...

This is all good stuff but as the example above....15hrs or more a week equals 800hrs or more closer to overhaul. My previous company proved go fast...may save money short term but save on long term on overhauls costs to components and cycles...

mmmm...lets see...RVR takes presidence unless ground visibility is greater than RVR readings by ATC , or by FSS not by pilot issuance...also not to forget that the basic RVR approaches for PRIVATE guys is 1200 RVR and 1600 RVR for commercial operators unless specific in your OPS manual with an OPS S...

We send our daughter to comox and back yearly for grandparents. Was ok, then prior to last year we paid the fee for unaccompanied minor years 2004 and 2005. Both times daughter came out alone. Even saw her through the top window overlooking the corridor in Calgary and she was left alone to walk and ...

It should be on the CVR. Transport requirements are minimum one hour "loop". Our citation has about 30 hours on that.

Thanks XJET. Actually, took about 3 friggin hours to set up...I'm not much a web designer as u can tell...for the others lurkers. Albatros has been in operation since the begining of 2005. Mostly private corporate flights. We got our "704" in Dec of 2006 flying Citation CJ3 and a king air 350 (we ju...

Nothing like a pissing match. I came from CMA hence the name. Your name Tubesteak it figures. Yes the job is very real.

UPDATE.....Just called the TC rep....actually very nice person. Will be getting my refund BACK for the overpayment.

I got the collectcorp letter and stupid me i paid it. I just found out that TC took away my refund check too... so now i have to call Program rep at TC (613 998-5059) if i get a credit to my account...
