Trey I am not affiliated with this in any way if that is what you are suggesting.

Hey all I haven't been active on the forum in quite awhile, as I have myself exited the industry and allowed my licence to lapse. One day though... I discovered this website though http://www.payscale.com/ , and if it isn't already common knowledge I just want to make it known. Seems like a decent s...

Boundary Bay, Pitt Meadows, or Langley.
All three have schools and private aircraft based there so its a matter of which you live closest to, although Boundary Bay is the closest to YVR.
Don't even consider YVR as an option, for multiple reasons.

Good initiation for the new rampies though.

"Hey who wants to fly an F-16!"

The ones intelligent enough to refuse are the ones you want. The ones who accept, well... we won't worry about them. They'll get a ride of a lifetime of of it at least.

The problem with roundabouts is that people who have never seen or used one before don't know what the hoot they are supposed to do when they encounter one. They started putting them in around Surrey (BC) a few years ago and drivers were behaving like the people you see in airports who look like the...

I can't imagine being a paramedic having to deal with that.

http://rt.com/usa/patients-obesity-helicopter-emergency-226/ An estimated 5,000 US patients requiring medical treatment are denied helicopter transport each year because they are too heavy or large to fit in an aircraft. To accommodate the nation’s super-sized patients, emergency medical providers ...

It just looks a lot like this to me. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion, if I ignore the fact that the party has adapted the same colors. I for one do actually like the military gray scheme though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Royal_Canadian_Air_Force_Ensign_(1941-1968).svg http://upload.wik...

Damn right, but that's what happens when you forget to put in the nosewheel stearing lockout pin before pushback.

Betcha they were using steel bolts in place of shearpins.

As long as you realize that the glide ratios and flight dynamics may not be perfect That may actually be a good thing. If you max out your weight to increase your descent rate, you can condition yourself to think faster than necessary. Try max and min weights and OAT's to learn what you need to do ...

If its a scenic flight you want take the skytrain downtown, go find Harbour Air by the Convention Center and take a scenic flight in a Beaver. You won't be able to log it but guaranteed you'll learn something especially if you haven't been on floats before. Your friends will love it.

Thanks for the feedback All Sides I agree that IFR is typically the bulk of simulator training. Its because of that I am wondering how much demand there could be from VFR operators, as I don't know if IFR training demands would be enough to justify the expense. I believe (don't quote me on this and ...

With the latest simulator designs you actually can achieve level D with different types utilizing separate roll on/roll off cockpit modules. The simulator would have a single motion base and visual dome. There would be an individual cockpit module for each required common type, with additional chang...

I'm interested in finding out whether there would be any interest, and if so how much, in a full motion helicopter simulator situated at YVR. There is currently a S76 level B full motion sim at YVR that is in regular use, however it will only simulate the one type. Considering how many rotary aircra...

"won't confirm whether it was pilot error or mechanical error"

I hate it when mechanical components make the wrong decision.

To each his own, right?

I personally, am a watch person, and I enjoy a quality timepiece.

I'd go for this one personally http://www.adacel.com/MaxSimInstall.html.

Probably too cosmic in price range though.

When I worked the ramp at YVR this exact scenario played out in front of a buddy of mine. Our co-worker was placing the step under the airstairs and stepped back into the just feathered prop. The guy at YVR was lucky, the prop hit his ear protectors knocking them off and knocking him out cold. He wa...

Please do not hesitate to call out the emergency equipment!! We are here on standby all day for you guys.....thats what we get paid for! Ok, now this may be a dumb question. Assume the trucks were on standby near the threshold for a 26L landing at YVR. Aircraft ends up short, on Russ Baker way as h...

He was a good man, rip.
