CBC reporter said airplane has a back up landing gear so no problems.

Had a reporter use those exact words in reference to having a gear issue on my way home this summer. It’s not a localized event it seems haha.

May want to reconsider your source for decision making. 90 pilots of which 1/4 have been there longer than 20 years. Or stick with your "I knew this guy once". Better still tell us about the person who opted out and why. I will confirm the accuracy of their claim for you. No need to get uppity. Tho...

Was always a dream of mine to fly with them. But after a co worker went there last summer and then opted out and hearing some more info from another fella as well. Don’t think I’ll be applying.

What??

That's an actual photo. They really did that to one or two planes.

There's one still flying down in the states I think.

Short answer, no it shouldn't.

Payload and range is what my friends in the service said. Herc would have been a better choice in many peoples' opinion.

But my DeHavilland fanboy'ism would've loved a revamped Buffalo.

The OTS thread has lots of the information you're wanting.

What a time to be alive

I expect we'll see a resumption of slamming of the RCAF in this thread in roughly T-24 hours.

Hahahahahah. Like the other day when the Twin didn't cancel his IFR 10+ miles out on a severe clear day and made us old short and not take off?

This one time, in a Beaver...

My DC has had a messed up speaker since day 1, just haven't been bothered enough to send it in... Maybe if I send them a message in all caps they'll give me a new headset... Move along, there’s nothing to see here... The only thing I wished to have seen was your edited posts. Too bad they didn't all...

You'll be flying the same routes, every day, with Summit. But you'll be home every night.

edit: sorry, I forgot North Caribou has 100's too.

My first question would be “ Fuel from which truck”

No GA fuel trucks in Whitehorse. Just big tanks.

Saw the smoke coming back in to land, must've missed it by no more than 5-10 minutes.

Friend of mine got hired earlier this month. F/O on the big plane.

Jazz taxing to fast. If they'd taxi at 7 kts or less like I do it wouldn't have happen. No different than the Toronto yahoos going 100 km/hr on 401. Cut speed to 50 and be less accidents and lower insurance premiums.

Holy sweet jesus you're some kind of special

I'd say it's about risky as being a fat piece of meat and failing your medical

Had mine done back in 2009/2010 and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. If you're an active person get PRK, there is a slight chance of the flap opening up with lasik if you get lots of dust in your eye and/or rub them aggressively (I believe that's what I was told). My eyes haven't started ...

PFO email received, 6 weeks and a few days after the interview.

What's the consensus on the PFO email? Are you completely SOL? Do they just put you in a pool and pick from as necessary? Allowed to re-apply? Anybody know anyone that got a PFO and then successfully got hired later on?

I'm about 50 hours away from my CPL flight test (Single engine) and was thinking of attempting to find some work doing pipeline patrolling/aerial surveying. How realistic is this in today's market as I've heard that most operators require you to have a ME/IR rating even for single engine gigs (alre...

I wonder what the all up take off weight was?

Heavy is my guess

I had my eyes done in 2011'ish in order to get into the military as a pilot and not be disqualified from flying jets. They didn't bat an eye over it then and I got in perfectly fine.

Did these guys have instrument ratings? In the ground 84 seconds after no attitude indicators. Mind blowing they couldn't keep in air with rest of instrumentation. Must be more to it than this. Basic altimeter and DG for straight and level in IMC will keep you alive. Quite the training program this...
