Sounds like 2 flight school planes collided mid-air.

The 15, 25 and 50 hour courses are for insurance and employer purposes. Try and get "reasonable" insurance with the bare minimum float hours. Think any company is going to put a low time CPL in a float plane? 7 hours total, 5 hours dual and 5 takeoffs and landings solo are the minimum requirement. L...

Doesn't look good for the pilots.....prayers for everyone involved. Reports so far are a dozen injured and 2 dead. Flight 8646 from Montreal apparently T boned a fire truck at 21 kts while rolling out after landing. ATC audio captured by LiveATC.net indicates the ARFF truck was cleared to cross Run...

She had posted a lot of videos on Youtube. The family has since taken down the majority. They're still available through other Youtubers though. In one video she is at or over 400 hours in her log book and the video is quite damning. Her piloting skills are scary. No idea how to set power and prop d...

Last time I looked at their tailwheel "conversion", it involved roughly 10 hours of dual flight and a few hours of ground instruction. Where are you going to get that many hours in your log book for less? Think anyone is going to take the risk of renting you a tail dragger with less training?

That's really alarming.

Yeah, that's the most worrisome take away from all of this. The stuff a TC auditor loves to hear.

That's more of a question to ask your CFI and the accountable executive at the FTU. Besides the EAPIS, Customs and flight plan requirements, the FTU may not allow it due to insurance, etc...

I was chatting with my CAME about a year ago. At that time, I was told to expect 2 years. It's feels like TC is trying to kill off aviation with a death by 1000 cuts. Once per month. First Wednesday of the month. Currently around 1 year and 4 months. You have been waiting 1 year and 4 months? Or is ...

Doesn't look like any updates since the initial details.

If you look on Pacer, he surrendered to the Bureau of Prisons, Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc II on February 5th, 2024 and was released June 12, 2024. That'd make it a bit more than 4 months.

If you're not able to get a medical in Canada and you live close to the US border, go over there and fly a FAR part 103 ultralight. There's a bunch of weight shift trikes, fixed wing and paramotors that comply with the 103 rules.

The ResMed AirSense 11 is a fairly compact model. It provides full sleep data logging and allows you to look at the data through apps like ResScan or Oscar. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of the travel bag but it's probably around 13"W X 13"H X 3"T. There's enough room in the bag for the machi...

As others mentioned, TC wants to see that your sleep apnea is being monitored and controlled successfully. I was told that they look at obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea differently too. With central requiring a deeper look into it as it tends to align with heart related issues.

I use a 6th generation mini. It mounts perfectly in landscape mode below the G1000 PFD in my plane. It would also mount in portrait mode to the left of the PFD if needed. Previously had an older 10.5" iPad Pro and found it was just a bit too big in either location.

Know nothing about this situation or any other, but as I see it come up - mental health has taken a massive nosedive post-covid, especially among the young folks -- several I know of personally -- if anyone reading is there, please reach out, don't suffer in silence, you are not alone. https://www....

One of the articles I read had a list of suicide prevention phone numbers and websites at the bottom of it. Not saying it's fact but perhaps the young man took his own life? No matter the cause, condolences to his family and friends.

The power courses are supposed to start in 2 weeks and FTU’e are still waiting for a formal contract. That is just bad management Wonder if they're holding back on offering the program this year? Last year was pretty abysmal. Very few made it to solo and of those that did, even less got their licen...

Pez and PilotDAR are correct. Even if there isn't an FAA STC for your particular model, if you can show that it's certified and prove that it will improve safety, they'll sign off. Things like certified LED lighting fall into this category.

If you're just trying to run it on the bench, buy a variable AC power supply like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/315130944819?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=h4yg8vgjsus&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=HLocBj5HQ5K&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The other option for bench testing would be a VFD.

Looks like the plane was based at Brampton Airport. Registered to the owner since July 2023. Sad to hear it turned tragic especially when he flew directly over Tune at 2500'.

I like the first sentence and the last few words of the first paragraph: "Turbo cancer is an anti-vaccination myth", "has no factual basis"

Now stop fighting me and your cognitive dissonance and start fighting the perps. Get involved. Still waiting for that Transport Canada phone number you mentioned. lol I see you tipped them off because the message had been changed. I guess the cover up continues. No worries, we are exposing them…and...
