I was exaggerating for clarity.
The beacon and other stuff you might need attached to your body is a really good takeaway for anyone who flies over anything but civilized country on one engine.

Re: Lucky to survive helicopter ditching
"I was halfway through a six-hour flight from Iqaluit in Canada to Nuuk in Greenland. I was flying above a thick carpet of fog and underneath a bright canopy of cloud, steering my Robinson R22 through this fluffy grey corridor, quite alone in the world with the engine noise and a feeling of intense ...

Re: " up to 3 charteres "
This should help: 9/3=3 so yes. If there were 7 parties I might need a calculator.

Re: Crewmember crossing US border with over 80 conviction.
You guys must all look very suspicious. I've never been asked if I've been arrested. I've been asked how I'm related to the people I'm with, when I left various countries, where when and why I'm going in the states in great detail,(as a previous poster said, their main goal is to see if you re story...

Re: Controller Sends Pilot Killed in Crash to Nonexistent Ru
Ya I feel bad for the guy. Whether he had an icon on his screen or he just remembered where the old runway was, he was no doubt doing his best. Hope he doesn't get sued.

Re: screwed, again
"a company finds out they need 30% more engineers as an example it would actually cause wages to go up..."
I don't thinks so.
Bottom line is if your company doesn't treat you well now, they probably won't because of a new rule.

Re: Home owner shoots down Drone. It's Started!
So lessons learned: 1. A shotgun can knockdown some drones at surprisingly long range. 2. Some folks in Kentucky are pretty handy with a scatter gun. 3. Don't fly anything to low across this guys backyard. Or mine. Btw. A shotgun with any small birdshot pointed up is nt going to hurt anyone around w...

Re: Beren's Band roasts air ambulance service in the media
I have to back up esp and redneck. The most unprofessional thing you can do as a medevac pilot is change how you fly based on the condition of the patient. You should not know, heli medevac Pilots down south are never told now, bc of their terrible safety record back in the day when they did know. I...

Re: Bush Flying instructors near Vancouver?
Get ahold of the cubdriver749er guy. Loni Haber-something or other. He does training n the very thing you are after. While he probably won't be where you are when you want, he may have contacts who are. Be advised, there are lots of guys with taildraggers on big tires who can't land in less than a t...

Meatservo, that was good. Really really good. Just because you are a Pilot, can pay for flight training on credit, a pass tc exams does not mean you are entitled to stroll into a flying job.

Re: How many shares are too many in a plane?
Oh ya. There are those people too.
On a side note, someone should figure out what plane is the most effective chick magnet. (Within a reasonable budget of course, I'm pretty sure a G6 would win otherwise)
