9 years now. Still loving it. I'm a believer....pasco is a great place to work. I recommend it!

This was the first Beaver I flew back in 2001. aahhh the memories.

FYI - I'm still adding beer names to my list for hooking you up with your new employer. Nice work. Im proud of you! Just saying.

If you go to a reputable flight college ... Ie.. One that a regional hires from... Make a point to get along with everyone.. Because where i work.. Almost all new hires start from the chief pilot asking if we know anyone who wants a job. If your an ok dude/dude et... And your previous instructor or ...

After having had a chance to re - read what I wrote above ... I can see I have possibly opened the door to negative comments re .. poor weather flying. As I sit here and ponder the negative comments to follow ... I can say this. In my time as a line pilot on the Coast I have been immediately impacte...

I have not posted on Avcanada for a very long time. However .. this topic is special for me and I felt it only appropriate to make my West Coast comment. So here goes. My suggestion to the new guy is just this. Talk to the line pilots and ask them questions. Usually ... you are line indocted at each...

Can someone tell me what the horizontal protected airspace is on both the protected and non protected side of the Precision/non-precision approach is please. Assume 10 nm pt from FAF.

Thanks

In Vancouver or Toba?

Belly boats can handle large rough water ... more so than the standard float plane... the question really is how large are your balls, just because the plane can handle it ... can you is the question!! ... the larger the water the more risky it gets. eg : anyone can sit in front of a piano ... only ...

no

yes

and no

Well ... I think this is a great idea. I had the pleasure of a 2.5 hour de-brief with TSB last week and wouldn't you know it some of the confidental comments made behind closed doors were public and in the media within 2 days???? What the hell is that all about. Kinda makes me not want to co-operate...

TSB will appreciate this photo. Good job ... First post. Now that we both know who each others user names are .... be safe for the rest of the winter.

When your attitude changes and you no longer want to be an instructor but you keep doing the job anyways. That's when it becomes a handicap.

We replaced the engine at 850 hours T.T. ..... it doesn't shake any more!! Better safe than sorry.

? ... You know Sky's the Limit .... I've been asking all the Heli Pilots around your world if they are STL but they all say ... who mee/?? Nope I don't even read Avcanada. So who ever you are, I gotta say I've been looking at the Cell towers on the top of all the mountains North of Powell River (now...

Coastal flying in reduced weather with the 296 is amazing. Add the marine and topo chip and it rocks even more. I've flown long enough to have experienced the traditional nav aid navigation method... the numbered Loran system and early GPS numbered technology with low res blocky moving map features ...

How not to land your Beaver on Lake Lovely water.

Here's a question for you. If you have an engine with a rough shake and the cowling is rotating left to right ( 9 to 3 oclock) a bit but still running smooth rather than up and down (12 to 6 oclock) what possible problem do you have and why?

Log it the way that it is!! It's not about just adding a .1 or .2, its about telling the truth. Now that the busy season is apon us, adding a point two to every leg might max out your duty time for the month if your busy. Log reality. In the float world they will ask you. "Is that hard time or .2 ti...

Ryan told me last night that he needs one more Goose pilot for the 08 season. If your intrested in flying the Goose you should pick up the phone and call him. Ohhh and no, there is no tail wheel time or multi-min requirement.

Ice?

What are you talking about.

There isn't no Ice!

I witnessed a killer whale swimming straight up to the surface of the water with its mouth wide open getting ready to eat a scoop of salmon into its mouth. Only the dorsel fin breached the water. Total B.C. moment.

What you live in a Log House Dog. Dame you!!!! I'm going to sell the Hot rod and do something smart with my PASCO bucks too!! No more wasting my 70K on dumb ass horse power things anymore. I'm Gonna be responsible.
