It seems that there are a few in the industry that have what it takes to scrape through training, and get through a ride, but just don't have the situational awareness to do the job. In my (limited experience) they make it through line indoc because they're not TOO far behind the curve for a new hir...

If you're not flying twice a week and the curriculum says you should be then I assume you've brought the issue to management? What do they have to say about it all? If it's actually that bad, you, your classmates, and your parents should probably find some different avenues to take and maybe even le...

How many others in the class are at the same level as you? How many in the class are just about ready for CPL flight test? If you have a some that are ready to finish CPL, they need to be learning Multi-IFR stuff. If you're in the bottom of the pack, then it's probably you. If you aren't struggling ...

Been there, don't know if there's any hangar spare hangar space. Google Avjet Baie Comeau and you'll find contact information. They do have some English speakers working there. They handle a Jazz Dash 8 daily so they have Jet A, Type 1 and 4 (hopefully you wouldn't need that this time of year...), a...

Jeez, hope you've never tuned ADF #2 to a local AM station and had a listen... surely you'd spiral into the ground being unable to recognize an engine failure because of that damn music.

Where I used to instruct, all the in-house examiners were very aware of what the national and local pass/fail rates were and simply ensured that their pass rate remained at close enough to 80% or 90% or whatever it was that TC was expecting that year so as to not be bothered by anyone from TC. One t...

Is the booking process still the same for jumpseat on the website?

I know a skipper that used to work there. He said they had to send an email every time they started the APU and explain why it was required. And if they were sitting on the ground for less than a certain amount of time it wasn't acceptable to turn on the APU for bleed air. Could be lies, could be ol...

No.

There are no marks / scores on your license.

When I was instructing, we used to teach students to maintain 3 white, 1 red on the PAPIs. Keeps you a bit steeper than 3 degrees while allowing them to still show deviation.

Can anyone at Cargojet give me some details on scheduling?

Average pairing length, and duty times, start finish times?

5pm-2am sort of thing I can see myself doing, 9pm-6am not so much.

PM would work if you don't want to comment here.

Thanks!

First year captain working 110hrs per month would get $73,548/year gross based on a typical EVAS schedule with no picking up shifts. Or you could live a 3-hours drive away in YYT and make $80k/year flying 850 hours a year as a Dash captain... Or for the YHZ based, stay YHZ based and make $70k/year ...

Disgusting. Other eastern operators are paying more for King Air crews flying 300 hours a year.

Must just be the companies you're applying to that notice

I've heard the same as above... that it's wise in aircraft that are sitting more than they are flying, as it stops gunk from growing in the fuel tanks, which is a very expensive problem to have.

Do any tri-hole Falcons require Prist?

I'd take the one that allows me to be home with my family the most, has the best company behind it, and pays enough to keep me relatively fat and happy. I always find this to be a puzzling comment amongst pilots. When you chose to be a pilot did you not understand what the job entailed? I mean sinc...

Forgetting the QRC for the moment, one would think that aircraft with a common type rating would have common memory items.

Even between Classic Dash and Q400 the memory items are essentially identical.

Is Transport letting them put passengers on these relics or is it strictly freight? Seems like every time there's an engine failure they can't maintain altitude. Unless there's a lot of engine failures we don't hear of. Great question. Is there some sort of exemption to the single engine climb grad...

Yours may. Some don’t. ICAO guidance allows pilots flying temperature compensated VNAV glidepath to ignore the min temperature limitation. Not sure how it works in the civilian world. Will become moot with more and more aircraft equipped with Augmented GNSS systems. Edit: here’s the ICAO guidance: ...

Similar topic, why do LNAV/VNAV procedures have minimum usable temperatures (normally around -25)? If you temp comp every waypoint you should still have a safe and usable slope, no? Because your pseudo glidepath is based on baro information which is not temperature corrected. Last I checked my FMS ...
