Every situation is different. If you can maintain directional control, then yes use reverse thrust. When it's that slippery, you will likely have to use a balancing act of assymetric reverse thrust, forward thrust, tap dancing on the brakes, maybe some tiller if you're lucky. In my case, I was able ...

I came really close to hitting the rhubarb in YHM off a taxiway before. It went from slush to ice with no warning. Afterwards I found out that the airport only maintains some taxiways, for example the one that goes to the CJ hangar doesn't get much treatment.

Wait, why isn't there an ILS for runway 05? There is an LPV approach with 200' and 1/2 mile limits. Just because a runway has an approach with a certain minimum doesn't mean all aircraft can use those minimums. I'm not familiar with Porter's E2s, but I'd say the majority of transport category aircr...

Kudos to management if they got work for 15 Jetz. That's quite a coup. There is a long waiting list of US NHL teams for Jetz. Word has gotten out that we have the best product when it comes to NHL charters. A few years ago AC came very close to being the "Official Carrier of the NHL" and transporti...

Operating under VFR ops spec at 300 feet with 1 mile vis, north of the tree line, in the winter, is different from IFR.....how?

It's almost like "pdw" wrote this TSB report.

Operating an aircraft at its performance limit for the runway. Shooting an approach with visibility below charted limit. Configuring final landing flap very late. Aiming to touchdown at a point where the main gear hit prior to the threshold. Intentionally flying the approach below glide slope. Low e...

Final report is out, lots to unpack from this one:

"We need trucks on M"

"Say again?"

"We need trucks on A"

"The emergency trucks you say?"

"Affirm"

Keep in mind too that the cost of living, in particular housing, has skyrocketed on the east coast since Covid.

the gear collapse has everything to do with language issues?

fully bilingual guy born in montreal here. mostly english.

If that's what you understood from this thread, perhaps your English comprehension isn't as good as you think it is.

Sorry for not being clear with you JBI, but this is the point that needs to be made: It's funny when "Canadian/American" pilots complain about English proficiency, when they're the most undisciplined communicators in the sky, opting to use their own phrases instead of ICAO standard phraseology. Some...

Another example of poor radio work.

If you need the trucks, start with "Pan-Pan Pan-Pan Pan-Pan".

It's really not hard, and it gets the message across clearly. Especially if there's any language barrier.

Oct-June sounds like an NHL season.

Where were our F18's?

Down for maintenance?

Sounds like you work for Canadian North.

Interesting that the landing was hard enough to break the right hand main gear and snap off a wing, but not hard enough to trigger the ELT.

Evacuating at the gate, after arrival and bridging, is an unusual situation. Engines are shutdown, jet bridge is attached or in the process of being attached, seat belt signs are likely off, passengers are up and retrieving carry-ons, when suddenly an emergency develops. If the crew follows the evac...
