Re: New drone rules for Canada...
Does a real pilot license exempt you from requiring to get a stupid drone license ? No! I just wrote the basic exam yesterday...there was a question on effects of icing on a fixed wing, human factors, DAH (which I've never heard of as an ATPL holder). I understand the knowledge requirements around ...

Re: Experienced Beaver Pilot
Had the guy put 4,693.7, then I see humour in your post. But he already rounded, so you just look like an a$$.

Re: Float pilot hiring scenario?
A Cessna is a Cessna, IMO. The numbers are different, and the engines as well, but they all FEEL the same. A 172 feels like a 182, 185, 206, 208; they just get bigger. I've heard even the straight wing Cessna jets pretty much feel like a rock solid 172. I notice you left out the crowd killer. Proba...

Re: Wasaya loses freight
NWC pulled the contract, is this the end of wasaya or a fold into EIC mess of airlines. Can’t load the pic, it’s on their FB page Why is this news? Northstar just had to grow enough to handle the capacity. There's a reason why Wasaya leased the cargo Dash 8's. This was known going into the purchase...

Re: DC-3 / C-46 Ramp Slave
I have yet to sign on the dotted line for a job that didn't say "and other duties as assignment by a supervisor". Quit your whining. This is why the industry has this old mentality that is still alive, and fortunately will die off in the next couple of decades. "Whining" is what you call someone wh...

Re: Northern Skies Pikangikum
Does anyone know where the 'Wheels down" as in 'What is your wheels down time? or as Illya says 'Wheels down in five" came from. I think I've only heard that in northern Manitoba. Everybody uses it instead of “Fort Whatever in Five.....”. Like nobody is intelligent enough to know that means LANDING...

Re: Gear-Up: Engine shutdown?
Same here, unless there were some extenuating circumstances I would plan on shutting down the engine's to minimise cost of repair. Not disagreeing whatsoever, but in another thread there was the mentality that the engines needed to be rebuilt no matter what, and the deductible is the same, so why t...

Re: Another example of the bad info pilots can be given
Sure, I'll stop being a dick. Pelmet starts a thread "..bad info pilots can be given" and then condescend them by stating "Amazing." And lastly quote the CADORs. The pilots were told that there were flames coming out the tailpipe. Not by just a passenger, but also a "Crew member". They declared an e...

Re: Can you see the windsock?
Is there a point to this post? Or are you bored and just quoting information? Sometimes when I find something interesting, I copy and paste it. Others here seem to find it interesting based on the responses. And as you can see, it has generated an interesting thread....which is the point of the pos...
