Justice is swift here; Sentenced to Jail for One Year in less than a week after the incident: ONE YEAR CLOSED FOR HAVING “FUN” POINTING AN ATR WITH ITS LASER. The thirty-year-old pointed his laser at an Air Tahiti plane last Sunday. A rash act which could have caused bodily harm to the pilot present...

For France yes, French Poly, no. My GP here is a Aviation Doctor though and does medicals.

The TSB report should be required reading for every pilot. I hesitated to post my observations after the crash, but they're appropriate now. I saw the first fly-by earlier in the day. He took off and as soon as airborne cranked it right over barely missing the tower. I remember thinking at the time...

I mean… hypothetically.

Good point.

Yep; Probably trolling. HTU's 1st post so.....

Get treated by a doc as soon as you can. Do not allow it to set in because then it will be a longer road to recovery. Treatment within 48 hours of symptoms is the best. If you wait you could be on a long road of treatment depending what it is. Discussing the issue with the treatment doc can be embar...

Years ago I had to contact the NBAA to do it.

Back then, you needed an accepted reason to have a registration blocked such as security. Sorry, I do not remember how long the process took but it was not just a phone call.

No FAA paperwork required for the PC12. Under 12,500#

Lots of aircraft and people have met their end there. From G5's, Challengers and so on. The approach and missed approach are tricky and require planning. I had a friend who had to go missed there. He was way over his head. Got out okay but over temped both engines. Another time he experienced a very...

I thought you buying a seat. If Airlines started $/kg for passengers I guess we could all diet to same $. In the current scenario, if you want the most value for your hard earned money for that flat rated seat, go on a food binge a few days ahead and have a double Big Mac with a large Poutine just b...

I had heard this story a while ago but only became aware of the Captain's name this morning. He used to work for me as Captain. I would not at all be surprised if he was involved after what I have seen. This was back in the 90's. He was working out of our YTZ base as Captain. I had hired him with a ...

Yes, they do have balloon competitions that require a course, spot landings etc. I have an acquaintance who competes both in the USA and Europe. He made National Champion twice. He also flies Mitsubishi Mu-2s, a lot. Bede you may know who I mean, as well as anyone who has been typed on them, Pat C.,...

I think it would be more effective to get the US to change our domestic pilot market. The American 1500 hour rule (I do understand there are some exceptions) has had a massive impact on the American pilot wages. The Colgan Air 3407 crash lit the fire that eventually put their 1500 hour rule in plac...

WOW! Thanks for posting the article. Scary stuff to say the least.

Just go to the TC Medical Examiner site and do a search.

Gee; 300 NM is nothing really. After I got my private I decided, instead of building hours locally, I jumped into a rented Cherokee 140 at Voyageur Airways and flew south from North Bay to Marathon. That is, Marathon in the Florida Keys. I had 55 hours TT when I departed. On a stop in Titusville Fla...

This gets asked a lot on here. It would be great if someone made this a "sticky".

Well, it can help. You just never know what will happen. Years ago I had a "walk-in" doing just that in YQT. Nice chap and reasonable resume but I just didn't have anything open and wished him luck. He was off heading westbound... I then walked into my office and answered the phone. It was another p...

Yes; as mentioned above. Also mentioned above, be sure to personalize it. I have received quite a few resumes over the years and there have been a few that stand out. Some because they didn't change the name of the employer from one letter to another and the one then sent me the letter that was name...
