Re: Is this a joke?
Whether it is a good time to start or not, it would seem from my experience that a hell of a lot of people are indeed starting. Buddies at a few flight schools have said that they're all super busy and have long waitlists. Can't foresee many of those students having a job in the next couple of years...

Re: PACCAR Turbo Beaver
I'm curious about the PACCAR Turbo Beaver and the new job add. I see the Beaver C-FCKW is registered to Canadian Kenworth since 1988 on one Civil Aircraft registry site and then I saw it registered to PACCR since 1968 on another Civil Aircraft site. Does anyone have some info on this machine and th...

Re: Carb fire season
Is using the primer while the engine is running a common practice? This is the first time I've heard about it. Is it normal that an engine would require the primer to keep running? Or would that be an indication of a wrongly set full mixture setting or someting similar? Would turning on the carbu h...

Re: What is "lift"?
at first i thought the angle of attack would increase but on second thought no it wouldn't because you are adding power to keep the same airspeed. if the power setting stayed the same and airspeed dropped then the AOA would increase, am i wrong? the same speed is to be kept in the climb the That’s ...

Re: Headset recommendation?
Would recommend the light speed zulu 3. Not a head vice, noise reduction is pretty good and it has a Kevlar covered cord which is nice if you’re in an airplane where it gets shut in the door often. Probably saved me a new cord... Warranty is exceptional from what I’ve heard from people who have owne...

Watching with Sound it seems like maybe loss of power? Pull up for altitude for ejection maybe?Jean-Pierre wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 12:45 pm Terrible month for the military. Glad the pilot survive. Looked like a stall during some kind of wing over manuever after departure.

Re: Corona virus and flight training
I was told schools in the lower mainland had shut down...not 100% sure if that’s accurate info How long do you think this will last? when will one on one in-flight instruction resume on a normal basis? :cry: Who knows.

Re: Logging Non-IFR SIM Time
I don’t believe a logbook determines what you can and cannot log based on the columns it has. e.g. there’s no specific column for floats, but you can use an empty column like the one on the right or just cross out an irrelevant one. SIM time is just mostly in an IFR environment. I’d look at the spec...

I can just imagine the number of disgruntled dockhands there’ll be if they say the batteries will be swapped out at the dock. All fun and games till someone biffs it and there’s a battery at the bottom of the harbour lol

Re: Dynamic vs Static Stability
Previous post has it right, maybe try thinking about it as static stability refers to the stability at a given point in time, i.e. does the aircraft return to original position. Dynamic stability is the stability of the aircraft averaged over a longer period. If the oscillations average to 0, it is ...

Re: Harbour Air switching to battery powered planes
How long does a charge take? Make it pretty difficult to turn a beaver or otter around in that time frame... Some people have been suggesting switching the batteries out to make a quick turnaround but I can't imagine that being an easy thing to do quickly when the batteries will prob weigh upwards ...
