Has anyone else seen the recent hijacking of our logbooks by Logtenpro X? Subscription service now to log our time!? Unbelievable. Time to extract my logbook from these crooks and go back to pen/paper. Totally disappointed in Coradine...

What do you guys think?

...as if you guys are coming down on this poor guy before knowing the entire story. Wow... I don't come on here often and now I remember why. Pathetic.

Why does it matter? If you live near an airport then expect there to be airplanes in the sky.

Who puts that on a resume? Lame!

No matter what the cause of the crash was, let's all remember that this was somebody's son, somebody's cousin, somebody's entire reason for being. Let's be respectful towards him and his family/friends no matter what was found in his body.

Some details in the proper forum http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=84560 Right, thanks. Sorry, I'm not all that familiar with the inner workings of AvCanada. My mistake. I heard the Ornge Augusta helicopter flying over my house today to goto the crash site and I have a lot of fri...

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything more about the small plane that crashed west of Ottawa this afternoon.

The Dash-8 series carries ice much better than the ATR-42 -72 series. With the exception of the Q400, the ATRs are a wee bit faster in cruise. Have you flown the ATR in ice? Because I will argue with you all day on that point. The Dash 8 does just fine with ice as does the ATR. I've never flown a D...

I got PFO'd in 2005. I went to work for an airline in the north and have never looked back since and am quite satisfied with my decision. Air Canada is broken. It's a dead-gig. I wouldn't recommend the place to my worst enemy. I have had a handful of friends go there in the past couple years and all...

Disclaimer:- I do not fly for Emirates but I operate long haul flights. I'm not commenting on any specifics regarding this flight as I wasn't there. I'm purely providing background information. Flightplanning long haul flights is quite complex as there are a lot of variables - especially on a long ...

Thank you all for your kind comments, they are certainly welcomed at a time like this. We at 7F are deeply saddened by the loss of our friends & family. Words can't describe the pain that we're feeling here today. TY for not speculating on the events as none of us know anything other than what's bei...

I would be perfectly happy making $30,000 flying around some dinky plane. Why is everyone so hell bent on just getting hours and upgrading their rating to the next bigger and faster plane. Well westcoasting, when life hits you with a kid, a mortgage, a wife, etc, making $30,000 just doesn't quite c...

I'm curious where those diagrams came from... they just don't make sense in all cases. Take CYXP (Pangnirtung) for example, or even CYCY (Clyde River)... at PT altitude you would definitely hit granite if you followed those diagrams to a T.

Just saying.

after graduating flight college, it took me 5 years to bust 85k. Doesn't really matter though, it'll either go to the wife or the ex wife. you pick.

Maybe we could get rid of ATC and all these silly rules. Profesional pilots can just look out the window for seperation. They can save money going NORDO. Joe's right though if they woke up the pilot of the small plane or something they would be heroes. I'll hazard a guess that a lot of us started o...

"Kathleen Bergen, another spokeswoman for the FAA, explained that runway designations and charting rely upon geomagnetic information. "Aviation is charted using latitude and longitude and the magnetic poles," she told FoxNews.com. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/01/06/magnetic-north-p...

Did the pilots declare a fuel emergency or a minimum fuel advisory? I have done the minimum fuel advisory in the past, it's only to alert ATC that any further delay could result in a fuel emergency: TC AIM: 1.8.2 Minimum Fuel Advisory Pilots may experience situations where delays caused by traffic, ...

If you can organize some av-gas, then I suggest flying up to Baffin Island, through Iqaluit (CYFB) then on over to Pangnirtung (CYXP) through the fjord to Qikiktarjuaq (CYVM) then up the coast to Clyde River (CYCY) then onto Pond Inlet (CYIO) From there you could either continue north or head east t...

Porter Airlines September load factor improves 8.2 points Revenue Passenger Miles up 79.9% ...and we still can't make a profit :-) (sorry, too easy!)

My intention was not to sound as though I think it's overrated. Quite the contrary, I appreciate the fact that there are many factors to consider, and I want to get a better idea of what they are. Like flying4dollars, I also would like to move back to B.C. some day to fly there, thus my desire to l...

You're right, it's overrated. Let me know when you make it into CYXP in the dark with a gusty south westerly wind while following the only approach in there (NDB of course)... or better yet, since you're VFR experienced, go VFR Good luck.

Here's your PDF: Keep it above blue line, below red line and don't hit the tail.

It's sad to see, especially when it's the type you're flying. Condolences to all the victims families.
