Aviation related.... how? Aviation is front and center in the sights of the green movement with literal attacks on some segments. Business aviation could be legislated out of existence along with unnecessary general aviation. We now see articles claiming carbon emissions are racism and the PM steal...

Welllllllll......

Even a Notar has a tail boom. The incident report shows a Bell 206. SmartA$$

But the incident helicopter did not.

Any updates on this ? The pilot is being touted as a hero but hard to believe two R-985s can quit without some serious negligence on the part of the pilot . And how was he unable to make the water southbound off the runway in Bella Bella ? This airplane was sank 2 years ago due to a missing drain p...

This is one of those things I’ve never had happen to me. Is not checking fuel before start and top of climb a thing at these organizations? Several years ago, I started a thread called “A Top of Climb Check”. It suggested that at the top of climb, the pilot do a check of all the switches and gauges...

Not likely, but it was attempted recently.... C-FHZP, a Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. model 206 Jet Ranger operated by Airborne Energy Solutions Inc. was being operated in support of annual recurrent training of company pilots. On the occurrence flight, there was one flight instructor and one company...

Meanwhile, here are some minor little details that the tax and spend liberals/NDP for some reason fail to tell you.... The federal government’s carbon tax could generate more than $5 billion from the federal sales tax over the next seven years, but none of that is directly earmarked for climate prog...

Unless you’re dirt poor you won’t get back more than you pay. It’s just a giant scam that most sheep are starting to finally wake up to. No, on average people get back more than they pay. Maybe if you think about it youll figure out how that is possible. Thanks for the analysis. Could you show us h...

If you are in totality, it's just like night. Sun is gone, stars are out.

Not while you are flying at higher altitudes.

Just think….they scare you into thinking the world will end. Then they implement a massively expensive policy that is offset by India and China in about a month. Then they implement the carbon tax and prices go up. Meanwhile you pay more GST on the higher prices across the board. The government rake...

Don't worry. PP isn't PM yet. You can still masturbate without a licence. Meanwhile, expect Trudeau to tax it because he says friction is adding to global warming. You will have to pay by the stroke but fortunately be able to use your current logbook to keep track of it all. Who said that there was...
