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...

Re: Tips for float flying on the West Coast
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...

Re: Can a Widgeon handle rougher water than a Beaver?
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 ...

Re: Transport Canada unit restricts media interviews

What the hell is that all about. Kinda makes me not want to co-operate...

Re: when does instructing time becomes a handicap ?...
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.

Re: Garmin 296
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 ...

R985 cowling shake!
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?
