It could have been a faulty fuel indicator Do you really believe a faulty Fuel Indicator is a good excuse for Getting an engine Failure due to Fuel Starvation? Not everybody dips the tanks. Have you even flown a 172? The fuel gauges are all faulty, that's how Cessna made them. If you don't dip your...

The issue is that this government is on the road to putting the airlines out of business. If the airlines collapse, the airports will go bankrupt, as will all of the vendors who do business there, as will Navcanada, and a whole host of others. It's bigger than the pilots, flight attendants, and AMEs...

Why is it so fucking hard for people to just do what cabin crew tells them to?

I think the 23rd is the first day Parliament sits again, so if you want your voice heard before selfie boy shuts it down again and turns his back, it might be the only chance to stage a meaningful protest.

It's not like that, there is sadness but also lots of kind words, and optimism. For me putting faces and real stories to the job losses helps me remember I'm not alone.

310, 325, or 350 horse variant?

The key to what happens with a trough are the properties of the air mass it is in. If the airmass is moist and unstable expect convective wx, is the airmass is dry and stable likely nothing will happen. Remember the definition of stability has to do with lapse rate. Think about the relationship betw...

If you want to fly floats, don't bother with the multi or the ifr rating, spend the money on float time. An idea worth asking about that I don't know the answer to is; would pic on an ultralight on floats be worth anything? If it comes down to insurance, 50 pic on floats should be 50 hours pic on fl...

There was a time...not so long ago...that wearing a mask in a business...let say a bank or a retail store or even a plane was for a more nefarious purpose :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I know right? Every time I have to stop and put my mask on before going into the bank, this little voice in my hea...

I think so, and Amazon has doubled their profits this year over last.

Who cares? People wanted a cheaper travel option and they got it. Reminds me of how book publishers bitched about the kindle

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before all of Westjet's aeroplanes are painted pink. Such is progress...

CJ will acquire B777 if they feel they have the committed long term cargo volume to fill the planes. However, an additional fleet type comes with significant overhead costs that need to be spread across a meaningful number of hulls. I cannot see this happening on a dry lease basis for a fleet of le...

The pink scourge continues to grow.

... I really wouldn't mind learning a new skill or trade, but again the money aspect comes into play. I just don't have enough money for going back to school. Especially not for multiple years. I can make instructing work, but it's the employment aspect that worries me a bit. If I had a ton of cash...

I would have to think that a 206 is not an easy machine to hand prop. The biggest engine I've ever hand propped was an O-320 though.

I was on a job site once, big job, huge crews. The Union started calling its members for in town work, starting the next day. One by one guys would answer their phone, grab their tools, and leave without even saying good bye. How could anyone look at the resume of a pilot...the coolest job in the en...

PGI - Prepratory Ground Instruction consists of; What are we going to do? how are we going to do it? and What are the safety considerations? and Do you have any questions? Post flight debrief should consist of what you did well, what you need to improve on, and what is the one thing that if changed,...

... I’ve found that my non- aviation employer expected that I’ll be able to do anything without training.( Aren’t you a pilot?? How come you don’t know how my inventory/ POS system works on day 1??) I also echo the sentiments from others to leave “ Pilot” off the resume/ CV. ... This is so true.

My only experience with auto gas in a 150 is that carb ice is much more of an issue than with 100LL. Otherwise it ran great, and developed the same power. I loved the 150 to fly. I found it more fun than a 172.
