Re: Are you vaccinated?
How many of the anti freedom convoy people now want a new convoy to get rid of Trudeau? Question for a liberal, why are so many liberals against carbon tax now? Because it is an election losing issue. They are afraid of losing power. Not because they came to their senses Power is all they seem to c...

Re: Hand flying Cirrus
Yikes, wasn’t trying to belittle more Difficult to tell. This is Avcanada. Anyway I was going to ask if you have considered RV-10’s? They won’t have that de-ice ability at all but they would have all of the cirrus performance with a much nicer hand flying experience and the ability to change out av...

Re: Hand flying Cirrus
My advice would be if you have a nice 182, stick with that. While the 210 and Cirrus are nice planes, for the price of the Cirrus or the extra costs of the 210 you can put a lot of gas through a 182. 210s right now aren't holding their value, so expect to take a dive on resale if that's a concern. ...

Re: Hand flying Cirrus
I’ve seen you mention de-ice/ anti ice a few times. What is your plan with it? Any piston single should do everything it can to avoid icing even with a “de-ice” system and it’s more a just in case to help you get through the odd thin layer. Where did I mention this “a few times” exactly? I see once...

No one is stopping you from flying Flair, Lynx or Jetlines. Stop bitching about it and do something. Vote with your wallet . What do ULCCs have to do with OPs comments?

Re: Hand flying Cirrus
From what I hear factory support from Cirrus is quite good. That been said not all AMO's have composite aircraft experience so you don't want to pay for their learning curve. Maintenance costs seems to be reasonable although since the aircraft has no nose wheel steering brake wear has been an issue...

Re: Hand flying Cirrus
Second oldncold. I have about 400 hrs on a IO 550 powered C 210 and really liked it. A lovely stable IFR airplane. Gear and flap speeds are near the top of the green and with the big flaps it handles short strips with ease. FYI only the turbo C210’s are FIKI, however I don’t believe the SR22 had a ...

You’re supposedly a number guy, any idea how much it costs to run an airline, all sources of revenue contribute to keeping the ticket price down, simple really. There's the issue. Raise them. Bunch of issues here, (whose data is it?) --- My issue if its captive. Can't mute it, or turn the screen of...

Hand flying Cirrus
Considering an upgrade to a Cirrus SR22. G3 or later. I am 100% Cessna time. What gives me pause -- I have a few right seat hours -- is hand flying with the stiff self centering method they use, especially in the pattern at lower speeds, feeling what the aircraft is doing. Runway length required wit...

Fondly recall a cool, clear night takeoff, shorter runway 21, immediately over the 404 and the city lights, turn left, 2000, follow the DVP corridor to the CN tower………..

Helpful site for you guys, who want to trash an employer online, anonymously, for dictating their experience requirements.

Reported wind immediately after the landing was 310 at 10G22. Not 32, not 42. 22.

Re: Timing the cycle
Why don't we just make a pilot tip option for passengers on the IFE? That way the company doesn't have to give us raises at all! Just tap the 15% button and your pilots can afford to eat that night! Make a tip mandatory to depart the flight, or kick those off who wont tip. https://www.thestar.com/n...
