So there's actually a new gender for weight and balance purposes. See appendix A No suggestion of what a gender x'er is though under 2.3 definitions, just that they automatically weigh 206 Lbs. https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/reference-centre/advisory-circulars/ac-700-022.html What a time ...

The TSB stated the black boxes stopped due to the inertia switch opening at a vertical acceleration of more than 5.5G:

Kinda glad they ghosted me after the interview.

Interesting that they would use an aircraft to disperse Urea, the same stuff we use today I would imagine.

Patching fabric holes sure, completely re skinning an aeroplane? Might be in a bit over your head. take a course for sure.

Oh those? Yeah I forgot about them.

You are right JBI.. but things have changed and managements boss has changed... ONEX will for sure have Some input now and there is no way they would Want to integrate encore with WestJet. Why you ask..... well because Encore is a asset that can be sold at some point. So keeping it separate now mak...

That sounds exactly like Link 2.0

To all: What an interesting and insightful thread I've created. All of the POV's expressed either positive or negative on the state of the industry and the overall job market were very helpful. I still think there are companies out there that insist on sticking to their minimums no matter what, and...

My last company was outstanding, the bereavement request was granted on the spot by OCC. The next day I had an email from the HR director and the CP both confirming the requested days off, and offering condolences. I think they only had to provide 3 days with pay, they could have asked for a death c...

I for one think a miniature service horse sounds awesome. As long as the animal can be secure during the flight, I don't see any harm in it... No worse than a dog, really. Sounds like it was a legit need with the necessary precautions taken. How many kids would have delighted to see a miniature pon...

How come we only tie the left prop on the Dash and Q400?.. One word and it starts with P. ... Piss Poor Performance? :lol: Couldn't resist. I was told by an AMA that the issue with turning the prop the wrong way on PT6's, was on the old style prop heat, the brushes could be damaged, but that with t...

According to Transport Canada's (TC's) Aerodrome Standards and Recommended Practices,Footnote 30 setting 5 of the high-intensity lighting system provides 100% of the required output and setting 4 provides 25% of the required output; setting 5 is thus 4 times brighter than setting 4. Correct. It is ...

This is actually completely incorrect, nor is it a trick question as someone else questioned. The following is an excerpt from the AC Halifax accident report. According to Transport Canada's (TC's) Aerodrome Standards and Recommended Practices,Footnote 30 setting 5 of the high-intensity lighting sy...

The issue I've seen a lot in the North is that the airport maintenance folks run out of places to put snow, so they push it 50' past the runway edge on the leeward side (but only on one side). Then 6" of snow falls and you come in to land and the runway lights on the windward side get buried in drif...

...I still do not understand how either crew lost the airplane. What are you implying? That they were incompetent?? The thought certainly has crossed a few minds. An guy who "flew 8000 hours in 6 years", and a 200 hour FO? Not saying it outright, but questions of experience have to factor in to the...

What is at play here goes beyond AC, beyond aviation. We're marching into neo-feudalism at full speed! Its pretty much a done deal when you have well indoctrinated peasants telling other peasants to Get over it, go back to you plow somewhere . :rolleyes: The CEO gets a raise after record revenue an...

I used the Langley Flying School online free groundschool when I got back into flying and found their website an invaluable resource. And it's free. You probably can't use it for TC. But still it's a great tool to add to the pile. Holds: http://www.langleyflyingschool.com/Pages/IFR+Groundschool--IFR...

If you want a flying job, you must have the license appropriate to the job. If you want a foot in the door job, and are ready to start tomorrow, then apply today. My last job for example had a boat load of pilots working the ramp waiting for a flying spot. Only a few of them had their licenses, most...

But then who signs off the GS required hours in your PTR?

The 3 practice questions are actual questions later. Do them over and over again till you feel confident. Prepare a tell us about you and your career in aviation so far write up. Rehearse it. Prepare a why do you want to work for encore schpeel. Practice it in front of a camera or your cell phone ti...

The messed up thing was where the passengers were pissed at Swoosh so they rebooked on Westjet having no idea it's the same company. lol

... Also I absolutely love your hiring website. Have you considered remodeling it to look more hip and urban ? Maybe make it more diverse and more inclusive of disabilities ? We all know hipsters beards, fedoras and washed up jeans are always synonymous with professional airline pilot but where is ...

Unfortunately not. I felt horrible being in that position. Great person, heart of gold, good attitude, weak situation awareness, just not ready. Passed the ride though.

With that pay, they may as well just upgrade some 2000 hour co-joes and see what happens.
