On the radio the other night, I had heard a Cargojet captain reporting to the tower that the Turnaround bay on the threshold of 30 was extremely slippery. The ramp was snow covered with a nice layer of Ice....so I think that maybe Ice has been a factor in this incident. The landing conditions have b...

Try this it might give you ideas!!

The pilot may have had an incorrect altimeter setting for the 4th and final approach..... I know its speculation!!! But one hPa = 30 feet, so being 10 hPa too low would put it 300 feet lower than it should be on the final approach portion. it could happen!! And he was ducking 100 feet under MDA just...

why not email back the guy that wrote this article and give him the pilots side of the story?

I found this groundspeed record page on Faecbook. The person who claims the fastest Caravan groundspeed there did 228 kts. Thats not too bad!!!

Oh actually I meant even before the spring.....Aviation was just humming. Companies could not hold onto pilots.

Oh and maybe we will blame you instead for this little credit problem!!!!

Lost in Saigon,

I find your avatar photo disturbing of you @ 33 thousand feet.

can you believe there are three young flight attendants to one Captain!!!

you lucky bastard, I have never experienced that in my life!!!!!

what are the best Kingair100 companies to work for in Canada, and what would the average salary be for a captain or even a first officer?

what is friggin scarey is the fact that the properties were bought for so much, and then they cant sell the properties to make money back like they planned. The interest goes up after a honeymoon period, I think they call it that. They simply cant pay the loan back. They got royally screwed. Other p...
