Is there a way to filter out user's posts on this forum?
I left years ago because of the BS and incredible signal to noise ratio of cat's post and came back to read up on this accident, only to find out that the troll is still here...

Thank You for posting this.

Very sobering video from what I gather taken from the Wx station. http://www.ntv.ru/novosti/238742/ It could be a number of things (mistrimmed, runaway trim, dragging brakes, spoilers extended, aborted abort, wrong intersection, multiple hydraulic failures, bird ingestion, mismanaged fuel, engine bl...

Having liaised with First Air operations for the better part of that fateful afternoon and night, I can only say that their professionalism, focus and clear thinking were unparalleled. The composure that Mike D and his team showed while the events unfolded is in a class of its own. My condolences to...

So what does the tower do with the runway lights when they "close" the field?
No CFS or Jepps within reach but I presume ARCAL for the medevacs?


If no ARCAL, then it is a very simple logic gate.

Drop me a message at the beginning of May when the current plates/charts expire and I'll send you a complete kit.

Cheers!

How do you fighter drivers deal with ice on the canopy?

BP

This subject came up in a conversation: do fighter jets have any de-icing/anti-icing? I know that they can melt it away with friction heating, but it's hard to do a non precision pushing 400kts... not to mention the miles it would take to slowdown to gear extension speed. Especially with a quarter i...

Anyone else asking themselves if the boarding passengers will wonder what kind of airline IR CANADA is?

Saw this PIREP today: UACN01 CYQB 061623 UL UUA /OV CYPX /TM 1619 /FL050 /TP DH8A /IC SEV CLR /RM BTN CYKO AND CYPX, 1 1/2 INS ICE ACCUMULATION IN 20 SEC , IN CLDS :shock: I think it's time I bring this up again.

When an Air Canada or westjet flight leaves the gate and leaves behind cargo (ie is weight limited) do you really think it is within limits? When's the last time you saw a plane full of individuals actually respecting the TC "standard" weights? There's a reason why there is no push towards weight an...

A very commandable gesture on your part and completely understandable. Despite the terrible tragedy that your family is going through right now, life will go on for those of you that are left mourning. The least we can do as a big flying family, is to somehow express our gratitude for what he was do...

Yup, it's her, she went there last last fall and did some shooting, flying and skydiving.
Right now she's doing the airshow circuit in Europe.
