Sorry if the 80 reference offends anyone. In general, but certainly not in every case, the need to be flying at 2am, in snow showers and or marginal vfr,(or worse?) conditions, coming home from the cottage or wherever , to get to work in the morning diminishes.I certainly hope to be flying at 80... ...

where the heck were they coming from? where are two rather elderly folks coming from to need to land at 2 am.... Certainly we have the freedom for that but 2 am.... snow showers... 80 yrs old... whats the rush...

What was weather like last night?

I think you will find that Lupin is on to it , as are others. the duty cycle of a car , while it may have "280" hp available , when it is tooling along the 401 (or pick your favourite hiway) the average car is using about 25-35 hp continuous, a lycoming say 0360 of nominal 180 hp is using 135 hp and...

well if its a homebuilt (amateurbuilt?) are you not an engineering test pilot for pretty well ever

and would it not be nice if all shops charged a slight less fee for apprentice work, but of course most shops charge say the 95.00 an hour for all "man hours " put on the plane, but of course the shop pays the apprentice about 20.00 of that an hour, but they have a shop to run, an apprentice to trai...

Well 10 mins is a long time in an airplane. Sadly they musta flown over the mooney they just found a lot of times. I think maybe spot and? In this current missing case they have virtuallly no last position to work from and spot sure would have narrowed that down. In the case of the mooney, they had ...

how many timbits ... 500....

if you register, you get flights that dont have a flight plan. If you dont have ADSB almost none of the times you simply use flight following will show up, just flight plan ones.

take a look at parking fees etc at Quebec.

wait the departure airport was a lot more than 40 klicks, the last one they overflew (revelstoke) was like 40 klicks. I dont think they landed at revelstoke...

Well the deck boxes should be lined up on the fence, and secured. It is granted it will e a few steps away from the plane. But at that end not an undoable walk. The deck boxes are are "big, mt and light" most of the time. A dash could blow them too. I am sad about the damage. The heavy military type...

updates? if any...

Well ytz coulda swept the ramps, taxiways... heck they had company coming!

Crossfeed?

You can go to a commissioner of oaths at most municipalities, often a clerk. Mine charges 10 bucks for a swearing....

Just so i can understand what it might be give me an example of an open defect? Burned out bulb? Or flap motor does not drive? Dent in aileron?

no new causes of aircraft crashes this year... someone else said that once... https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20160814X40011&ntsbno=ERA16FA289&akey=1 i think this (and every other navajo accident in the ntsb database) should be requred reading for every navajo driver......

This thread is getting bizzare. Now we have more than one person saying the RCMP have told folks not to look for the plane?! and also someone is saying maybe someone has found it already?! and is not saying?! and someone being threatened for continuing to look for the plane?! This is almost too weir...

they cannot afford it. they can barely keep the snow off them. Elliott Lake, Atikokan both used to have large, busy mines... that is what drove the dough, both mines are shutdown, so money and traffic are a lot slower to come to the airport. There was actually a provincially owned i think air servic...
