The beaver could use a cup holder, maybe on the base of the control column :lol

Anyone on here work there or have worked there in the past in their float department? Conditions and such?

In addition to the above poster's question, any one have info on the twin otter ops in Labrador?

Depends on the operator. I've seen guys get hired onto a dock/180 gig with the bare float rating and others started at 25-50 hours at different places. Working the dock/swamping is a great way to get your foot in the door. Watching and learning about good judgement and decision making skills. You'll...

that's unreal! When I was first looking for work around 2012-13 minimums were pretty well 1000 across the board. Different times.

There will be ads come up this spring for dockhand at companies that don't have an aircraft you can fly as a junior. Don't apply at any of these places. In this job climate you should be able to get something flying.

Don't fly for bravo, but a good friend does and said it was 4 on 4 off. Just about all full duty days.

I know when I attended from 2008-2011 the training was 'OK' it was 100% geared toward pumping out airline puppies. If you wanted to do anything else in the industry ie. Bush or special mission I wouldn't say it's the #1 school for you. If airlines are your goal then by all means keep trucking at the...

This is kind of what i was thinking. Was just an observation of another aviator. Also cat driver. What sort of power settings did you use. I've heard of 28/18 in cruise and 29/19 .

Been flying the beaver for over 1000 hours now and think I'm starting to learn the bird. I know she'll teach you something new just about every week. Just wondering what some of the old timers think in regards to engine operation with different power settings, leaning etc. I've seen the beaver flown...

Thoughts from around the float community?

I agree with bring me the horizon that you learn piles of useful and essential knowledge working the dock that helps your transition into flying the plane for the operator. In addition to PCC when I was researching where to apply for my first gig I used the TC civil aircraft register and looked for ...

i think chances are good. I've already had interest from a handful of companies that are looking.

From my days in Red Lake I used to frequent the Lakeview and the Balmer.

Very well written and detailed. The applicants will know pretty much right what they're in for.

Kudos
