This enables us to read what they have already written on the subject and see if they are actual aviation journalists or just hacks. Aviation reporting is a specialized subset of journalism requi...

Does anyone know what the ACAS requirements are for charter aircraft operating into the US? Non RVSM 14 100 lbs turboprop.

Murray's Aircraft Repair in High River. 403-648-8910

My correction was about aircraft with transponders rather than aircraft with a removed transponder but yes, removing the transponder installation will remove that requirement from your maintenance schedule.

There's no such thing as VFR-only instruments, unless you mean the aircraft isn't equipped per 605.18. If you're referring to the 24 month altimetry check, that's required before any flight not only in IFR but also VFR in transponder airspace (classes B and C, and D where notified) as dictated in C...

Are you going to incorporate or register a proprietorship? Incorporation provides more ability to deduct expenses and may provide some legal protection but is much more expensive to maintain. From a strictly financial point of view incorporating only makes sense once you are bringing in $50k+. If yo...

The website for our small grass airfield has a form for sending noise complaints or other issues. Got this today: The following message has been submitted by: Name: Omar E-mail: captain_omar81@hotmail.com Message: Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings to you from Saudi Arabia , I hold ICAO CPL/IR Saudi plus FI ...

Counts for what? Insurance? Job qualification? Licencing?

Ultralight float time definitely counts as ultralight float time. It doesn't count as seaplane time towards a seaplane rating on a pilot licence. It counts for anything else I can think of.

Lol, free hint: as soon as you see VMC Aviation Videos prepare yourself for something mind numbingly banal.

The geographic issue referenced in code7700 is a fuel manufacturing composition difference. Different density, therefore different volume/kg, but there's no suggestion in the article of different energy content per kg. True, but there has to be a reason for the resulting differences he discusses. h...

The geographic issue referenced in code7700 is a fuel manufacturing composition difference. Think of it this way, the manner in which the jet fuel is manufactured in SE Asia gives you more “bang for your buck” gravimetrically (energy content per unit weight [kg]) vs West coast of NA where you get m...

Yes, I'm just surprised that this is a surprise.

In any case, how often does this make a difference? In my career I can think of only 3 times where I needed full tanks.

While I find most of Eddie's material excellent, I'm struggling with that article. Aside from the odd 414, any corporate aircraft is either a turboprop or a jet. Either way, fuel flow is measured in pounds or kg per hour, not liters or gallons. When you uplift with a single point system, you tell th...

J31 could you post a picture of this sticker please?

I've had a CADOR in Langley, it was my fault. TC Enforcement called me about it, I admitted the mistake and said I wouldn't do it again. Never heard from them again. A friend of mine got a CADOR in Langley, he couldn't figure out what he'd done wrong. We got the AIM out and reviewed VFR circuit proc...

Oh the irony.

One of the aircraft I fly is like this, I start it with the avionics master on.

Is using the primer while the engine is running a common practice? This is the first time I've heard about it. It's common practice for anyone who understands intimately that an engine needs fuel/air/spark to work and wants to keep it running when for various reasons it needs more fuel. There are d...
