Re: 703 one employee?
Sure it is. As long as you qualify for all the key positions and can pass the tests. PRM can be tricky if you don’t have a maintenance background, but not impossible.

Re: Coolest Airports in the Prairies
It’s been a lot of years, but I remember Eastend SK being a neat grass strip to fly into. The Frenchman River valley is quite scenic.
Maple Creek is also good. Golf course and good restaurants within walking distance.

Re: Aircraft insurance annual costs ( Beaver/206 amphibian)
In my experience, pilot hours had little to no effect on insurance prices, assuming they met the minimum which was only like 30 hours or something. Hull value has the biggest impact of insurance prices. So, how much of your money does it take to insure a Beaver...all of it.

Re: Recurring Defects
I'm working on a new MCM, and trying to figure out an effective system for identifying recurring defects. A system that tracks defects over several months and 100's of hours will be a lot more complex than one that only looks back over the last 15 flights. I'm going to aim at somewhere in between...

CAR 726.05 (3) For the purposes of these standards, defects are recurring defects if a failure mode is repeated three times, on a particular aircraft, within 15 flight segments of a previous repair made in respect of that failure mode. But what is the definition of a flight segment? I have read else...

Re: Is it worth it to get a float rating without extra hours
I didn't have a float rating when I got my first float job either. The company did my float training for free. I did have over 2000 hours and a lot of crop spraying in my log book though.

Re: Is it worth it to get a float rating without extra hours
Just to clarify something, the 50 hour insurance requirement is to carry passengers. You can be insured on the airplane with less time to do non rev and cargo flights.

The accommodations at Points North are all new. Sometimes the dock by the fuel pumps is busy and you have to wait your turn.
