Perhaps not an aerodynamic stall spin, but more of a very rapid yaw. Not really enough time to develop even an incipient spin.

Exactly. When the engine fails the insurance company just bought the airplane and what it looks like after it stops moving is entirely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that there are no injuries to the airplane occupants. Ignore all the stupid FTU mnemonics and just point the airplane at ...

Not sure if you are trying to sound tough or present some sort of tough guy image in your post, but it does not come across as a very useful response to a quote that discusses the possibility of flipping over and an option that may prevent it(if one happens to believe this could be the result). Tha...

Getting back to the main topic, my answer is "Who cares?". Unless you think your duty is to perfectly preserve the aircraft for immediate resale, instead of to minimize or eliminate harm to your passengers and yourself, don't be trying to stretch a deadstick glide over a corn field to a bean field, ...

I made my comment in this thread somewhat facetiously. I have a very knowledgeable acquaintance with TC and TSB credentials, and he told me that in theory, an aircraft no longer meets its type design the moment something first adheres to its surface, or chips from it, after it leaves the production...

The airplane does not conform to it's type design, therefore the C of A is not valid. That interpretation got shot down in flames by the TATC not long ago, in a case against EVAS Air that TC lost. The tribunal said TC was talking a load of bunkum and the government wasn’t free to invent its own def...

Well spotted. Maybe the whole back end?

Saw the Voodoo explode at Abbotsford Saw the Snowbird come apart at Grande Prairie and Captain De Jong lost Saw the aviation coroner Joe O'Connor (or Connors) and a boy killed right in front of us just short of the button at Mike in YVR, 172 lost in wake turbulence landing behind a 737, I think it w...

Credible proof =VAERS It’s been out for a while now, the people vaxers like to make excuses to justify the deaths. But the data is indisputable. Oh no the data is very much disputable. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS is being misused by anti-vaxxers to terrify the public. It’s a...

Except this time a smarter and better captain took the correct decision.

Oh, give it it a friggin rest. One was taxiing to a gate, the other was over the Atlantic. Every scumbag on here who resents Robert Piche has the same drivel as you do.

Snow on the ground. Ice underneath?

Looks odd in the first frames and before contact. Nose gear seems way up on the oleos or whatever they have. Reversers activated?

Okay, so I've been gibbering on about the Air Canada flight that hit Mt. Slesse going east after the All Star Football game.

Hey Gang, I saw an advertisement for what looks to be a neat documentary on the 1951 disappearance of the C54 in BC that killer 44. 44? In a Skymaster? Yeah, I thought that too, but the old DC-6 was called a Skymaster, although that may only have been the military version. Come to think of it, and ...

That's a very good tip.

Small remark, you don't need to be a Canadian citizen to own a Canadian registered aircraft. Permanent resident is fine (and there other options as well I believe)

Thanks. I didn't know the bit about permanent residents.

The issue is they all need to be on the C of R for the training or no dice. Who requires this? C of R doesn't prove ownership. It established an "owner" for the purposes of the Aeronautics Act. A beneficial owner is the person who actually owns the aircraft. He or she may also be the registered "ow...

I don't have a lot of float time, but I did land in the dark once at Dragon Lake outside Quesnel, which was our float base. I'd dropped some Germans off at Bowron Lake, in daytime hours, but was a few minutes late heading home. Arrived back at the lake about 15 minutes late and it was dark. I had th...

He didn't have 7 children. He had two. It wasn't his wife who was the passenger.

The CADORS doesn't seem to match up with that FlightAware trace somebody was good enough to post here.

How reliable is that 88 TT figure? If it is reliable, who trained this guy? Who sold him this airplane? Border City?
