Re: C 172 checklist Canada vs US

My plane's checklists were written by the previous owners and closely follow the format and content of the flying school that taught them (and me) to fly. They're on the long side. I'm starting to write up new checklists. The old ones are lengthy and don't reflect some recent upgrades (GPS, engine ...

Re: C 172 checklist Canada vs US

Flight schools in Canada love to have super long and elaborate checklists that are useless. Things like Primer --- Locked. Well if you have not touched it since you started the engine, its still locked. Circuit Breakers --- IN. If everything is working then there in, you'll notice if one has popped ...

Re: Didn't pass Cat 1 medical, what is going to happen next..?

First of all take a deep breath and relax. I have had a similar situation. There are really four possible outcomes here, 1. Least likely is a false positive. Though I don't think the girlfriend activities would cause that, the little test strips don't have a long shelf life and unless the Dr. used a...

Re: Class 1 medical for cpl training

I would just go and spend the money now, on the off chance they find something disqualifying or that requires some time and doctors visits to get a stamp on your Cat 1. If your thinking about getting a CPL, it is what an hour maybe 1 1/2 hours in the air?

Re: Harbour Air switching to battery powered planes

I laugh at all the nay sayers... we need to stick to our 100 year old piston engines damit. Probably would have said the same thing when the first turbojets showed up. Time between overhaul is too short! The internal tmerpatures are too hot! The tolerances are to tight! The fuel burn is too high! Lo...

Re: KD Air not flying

Quite sad, Lars and Diane had KD Air dialed in and ran it well for years. They did not try to over expand, they stuck with a program that was safe and reliable. Infact they were the first commercial operation approved for GPS approaches in Canada! Not bad for a little Navajo operator. There schedule...

Re: Assistance compressing a large PDF file

Yes alas what you have is not really a PDF but 187 jpegs that are held in a PDF file, so there is not much compression that can go on. Use dropbox or google drive or apple icloud and you can host and have as many friends download the file as you like for free. Really a couple hundred megs these days...

Re: Confed drops IFR

No you need a Multi Engine Raiting, and then can do a Multi IFR flight test. Essentially adding IFR to aircraft you already can fly VFR. Think of IFR as a skill set you add to aircraft you can fly already.

Re: Laptops at high altitude

Should be ok if you have and SSD, just allow everything to warm back up before use and if possible remove the battery. They don’t like to freeze. The HDD could allow be removed and carried on person.
