Isn't this helo operating inside CYR537? Would there not be repercussions?

Buttonville is an MF so you can join the circuit from the downwind, base or even straight in to final when it safe to do so, so there really is no need to fly over the circuit at 500' above. Except you need to ascertain which direction the circuit is going, and if no airplanes are present you proba...

Does anyone know what went down at Buttonville when operations went from Tower to MF? How do the traffic volumes at CYNJ and CYKZ compare? Traffic levels at CYKZ plummeted before the tower closed and have rebounded to the mid 50,000 movements/year, just below the threshold of 60,000 movements that ...

Why are you so sure it's an ATC-only issue and not local pilots repeatedly making errors that are worthy of being reported? It's not just local pilots. Pilots from other airports, both private owners and students, are highly represented in the data as well. And pilots from YNJ aren't highly represe...

What's ATC guy's problem? Is he just that type that reports every little infraction or did something set him off to make him spiteful? I dont see any evidence of that. Well let's just bury our head in the sand then instead of actually resolving the conflict. Seems to be working well so far. Why are...

Any word on if TC is handing out fines? NAV CANADA only files an Aircraft Occurrence Report (AOR) which then gets added to a CADORS that TC creates. If, after reviewing the CADORS, they see that there was an infraction then enforcement action would take place.

Did anyone catch her as she went through Canada? Apparently she stopped in St. Hubert and Goose bay.

There's a thread from last November about this as well.

I'm curious if there were safeguards in place that ensured this or did it just happen to work out that way.

Guess the remote control in this was very effective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbgYB-dUlmM&ab_channel=catsargent1 Or this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm5YPhbXgZg&ab_channel=Discovery Seems to me this yutz is a legitimate target of criticism, but "This kind of sh*t warrants a number of ye...

I hope the feds come down hard on him to set an example for any other "influencers" <I truly *hate* that word> from doing similar stupid/dangerous stunts for attention.

My first thoughts were, is it normal to be flying a powered parachute to be way up at around 5000 feet?! You usually see them way down low. I'd be super paranoid about getting into this exact situation at that altitude.

Yikes! Anyone have more details on this? I sure hope the pilot is okay. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/westjet-flight-diverted-back-to-calgary-after-pilot-passes-out/wcm/a960b3a3-8282-4a48-9be1-631e91e27df0/amp/ Holy crap on a cracker, all the anti-vax nutters are coming out to comment o...

No biggie, just a little bit of "off roading at the airport".

The article says it's a dispute between the federal regulator and the airport. That's TC not NAV CANADA. I wonder if it has to do with the new airport TP312 attestation requirements.

Wow, this Beaver has had a rough go the last few years, post-2000.

Seems like it:

A pilot was flying in fair weather and during the landing phase onto the water flippity flopped the floatplane and fortunately all were found to be fine?

Fantastic!

Your arithmetic is off by a factor of 100.

Yep, correct. Edited my math

The noise from the Gardiner continues 7x24. Well they're taking down the Gardiner in fits and starts, dumping the traffic onto Lakeshore and local arterials producing even more fumes. Air traffic including the airshow is less than 0.1% of the local noise and exhaust pollution from cars. People valu...
