I can imagine the weeping and gnashing of teeth by those who think this was unnecessary or overreacting if a French only address/condolence was offered. With 29% of Canadians speaking French and 81% speaking English, your comparison is not very useful. To the contrary, it’s very relevant. Then I’m ...

I have flown in several countries outside Canada. I only speak English and have never had an issue. I remember one time arriving in Bamako (Mali) We could understand nothing at all of what the guy at the tower was telling us in his broken English. Literally f@ck all... So I asked my Anglo speaking ...

If only Canada had more LNG export terminals ready and the shit was being pulled out of the ground with haste. We could take huge advantage of this right now, but the weak leadership for the last 10 years on this topic says otherwise. Yeah, well… “Strong” leadership can lead to chaos as demonstrate...

So far all there is against Georgescu are allegations - same as what they are doing to Marine Le Pen and the AFD. You probably don’t know much about Marine Le Pen and her minions to say so (Unless you vote far right) It’s about time they caught her! A bit like Al Capone, everything in plain view bu...

You really don't want to join the EU. It means giving up your Sovereignty - EU decides who you have to let in to your country. Each country gets a quota of migrants. If you don't control your border - you're not a country imho. Do you really want to become France, Belgium or the UK? Then there's Ro...

I've been told if I had to bail out from a glider (I flew them some time ago) To make sure my hand was actually
pulling the parachute release's handle.


And not the harness right behind...

TC should not allow any military pilots to use their flight hours to acquire a civillian pilot's licence, A kernel once told me that it's the way we train pilots in the military, true but totally different from civillian pilot training I know I've been to Southport Portage where they train young me...

On a side note, aviation is not just about Airliners and one of the aircraft I fly for a living was built in 1943 (Rebuilt a few times since )

There is a whole list of them who would respectfully disagree with you.

Good point. Which accidents were caused by this though? I don't recall any but I'm sure there are some. There is couple of good examples listed by TC to justifying their course of action and that type of issue. It's buried in one of those links that started this tread. https://tc.canada.ca/sites/de...

That's not the circumstance we are in, but if we were, it would be even more important that the passenger in 32K doesn't try to tell the crew how to do their jobs. No it’s not but I clearly am ill equipped to make a point to some, and while you are entitled to your own opinions, as am I, the inform...

Or Daryll Snodgrass buying it in a single engine Cessna because he didn’t take the control lock out. That one was a SIAI-Marchetti something. Also blancolirio's friend, a Blue Angels pilot who lost his life practicing the "impossible turn" in a Decathlon. I think you are referring to Richard McSpad...

True definition of “Old & Bold”

If I'm interpreting the report correctly he was basically scudrunning at....Night?

Peer review is a bunch of idiots in a room agreeing on the on thing that is idiotic. It doesn’t validate anything except their idiocy. I'm glad people like you are not running the world, we would be back as Cavemen. Yes! That time when they were afraid of fire like animals, even if they had the int...

Soooooooooo many? Why is it soooooooooooooooo difficult for the PM to hold the power levers after takeoff? Why is maximum power after the call of engine failure sooooooooooooooooooooo hard to do? I don't know about their SOPs but as PF you are supposed to remove your hands from the power levers pas...

81 people know 6 people who died related to the injections. Your poll is useless because before you modified it, I was one of the dead! It is proof that you are as gullible as we all think, that’s it! Lol, I did the same and voted dead as according to Jerry those who received some vaccination shoul...

Well it's a fact that at one point, zero Canadians were wearing seat belts and 100 percent of road accident people in hospital were not wearing seat belt, and then at some point the majority of people were wearing seat belts , and eventually most people were. The along this timeline eventually the ...

I was more thinking about pre-departure top of the wing contamination compounded with maybe some ice collected on the leading edges once moving fast enough.
It's really just a supposition out of many.

Icing would be something to look at.

Is it possible to add a choice in the poll for those that never had any experimental injections, never ever had a flu shot, have'nt been sick since before the "pandemic", and are 50+ age category? I've been in fine health since while EVERYONE who I know that is double jabbed has had covid twice, wi...

The nurses forum on Reddit should have been a fucking compelling reading during Covid for all the nay-sayers living in cocoon land. It had some really, really sad reading straight from people ridding the front line at the time. This being said, yes healthcare needs improvements, so does education a...

I believe you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I’ve had to declare an emergency twice with US ATC. Both times the sheer mention of “stoping climb 2XX requesting block XXX declaring an emergency at this time” *Poof* Dedicated controller, gave them POB, fuel and in both cases no DG’s. R...
