Re: How to get to Castlegar?

First week of October I'll be out west, 3-4-5 Oct. is when I want to go to CG. BTW gerge beat you to the punch, and you know I don't do a twofer (not equipped for that). 8) So if the rumours about Cancelgar are true, I might have to drive. Maybe I'll go from YYC then drive through Banf. Someone has ...

How to get to Castlegar?

I'm flying on business to Lethbridge, and Vancouver. I want to take this opportunity to visit a friend in Castlegar. I see the JZA has some flights to YCG, but the schedule does not work for me. I could not find if anyone else flies to YCG from VR or QL. What are my options? Other than driving of co...

Thanks. :smt023

Visual Approches on a crisp cold bright sunny day.

How easy is it to spot the traffic being pointed out to you, to follow on a visual approach, and what factors might affect its' visibility? I would think, relative altitude, sun in your face, or reflection of the wings if they are banking... In a nutshell, I'm trying to find out when would be the pe...

Terminal Control is more tactical than strategic, and as with any other ATC specialty, plans change on the fly, but more often.

Power to Prop transmission on Pistons.

Greetings, Looking at different pictures of Lycomings (O360, TIO540) I was wondering if the prop is 'bolted' directly to the crankshaft or is the power transmitted through gears or pulleys? From what I can see, it is connected directly to it, but thats just looking at the pictures from the outside. ...
