Seems he had a cocktail of alcohol and drugs in his system according to the autopsy. The quantities are unknown (except the 10mg of alcohol). I'm sure it is a contributing factor.

What are the current seniority levels at each of Porter's bases right now?

Basically is YHZ out of the question for new hires?

Do you get to rate you choices when hired? Or is it completely on an operational need basis.

I'm currently flying noisy Navajos and about to upgrade on the King Air. Just tired of the passive reduction headsets, definately need the ANR stuff. I've heard here and there that with some headsets you can't use re-chargeable batteries, does this apply to the headsets I'm about to purchase? What ...

I have been told that you can write off the cost of a headset if it is a job requirement. Not certain if PPL or CPL would qualify, however I believe working pilots can do so. You may wish to check with Revenue Canada to see if it applies during training. Not true. Headset is a "tool of the trade". ...

If you are interested in opening an UL training facility UPAC.ca has a great book you can buy for a few dollars which outlines the process step by step. It tells you the requirements for.licencing, insurance and TC paperwork etc.

You can also find general answers on their FAQ page.

I've deleted my original post. I stand by my post, however have no interest in engaging with a troll online.

I read the local news paper article. Nothing in that article indicates there was a crash of any kind. It indicates the plane sunk while attempting take off and all the passengers got out before it sunk. Although a crash isn't out of the realm of possibility, and we all know media can be unreliable, ...

Good luck out there!!

Luck is self made. I have always believed strongly in the famous quote "Luck is where opportunity meets preparation".

Congrats on your first job. I was in you shoes earlier this year. Keep making your own luck!

Millions would have been saved had MH370 had one! Slightly off topic. But no. Spot doesn't have global coverage. MH370 would still be a ghost. You need Iridium devices for global coverage. If you buy these devices be sure to know their limitations. In this case the pilot would have been smart to ha...

Just did it. Check your PM. Anyone else thinking of aviation as a second career can PM me as well. I'm happy to share my expierience on a personal level. I'd post here but I'm not a fan of posting my personal accounts on a public forum.

Does someone out there have a ATPL Aerocourse study book they would be willing to lend or sell me?

PM me if you do.

Thanks

"Wings above the Arctic" is another great book about bush flying in the Canadian North. There is a small piece about Buffalo in the book as well as stories about other great Arctic aviators. It's mostly a photobook but has some interesting stories and is an easy read for someone learning English.

If nukes start flying you have bigger problems than where you currently work. Just surviving would be near the top of the list....just saying.

I think you mean 704/705 operators. Regardless I have first hand knowledge of at least 2 operations that have turned down buisness because they are short pilots. Aircraft involved were 1900's, DHC-6, and Cessna 206's. There's talk that there are many operators in this position. It appears that there...

I was bored, so I was cruising the hire me page to see what the current talent pool is like out there. Plan old curiosity. Then I wondered. In all honesty, has anyone ever gotten a cold call from an aviation company based on posting their information here? It seems to me like its a long shot. Most p...

Hello,

Anyone out there know the compensation for the FO and Captain positions with PAL ASMD in the King Air?

I assume the high requirements are the result of a government contract. I would also like to assume the pay is commensurate.

PM if necessary.

Thanks

That's me. I'll take our socialism over any republic or monarchy/dictatorship out there

Ummmm....Canada is a constitutional monarchy. Just saying......

It would be cool to see the marks that prop left in the pavement. You can see the prop and pavement turn to dust in the video.

This time it is a Vagabond... "C-FVMV, a privately operated Piper PA-15X Vagabond aircraft, departed from Surrey/King George Airpark, BC (CSK8) on a pleasure flight with only the pilot on board.

That is a comedy of errors. That accident, if you can even call it that, is almost Darwin Award worthy. I can't believe two passengers actually felt comfortable enough with this guy that they actually got back into the plane at Flagstaff! There had to be alarm bells going off.

I don't think anyone who's ever flown around them during a busy day can honestly say they are really surprised...
