Re: ADSB requirements come to GA in Canada 2023/2026

All airspace is classified by Transport Canada in the DASH, not as Nav Canada often implies by them. Technically, yes. Practically, TC has abdicated almost all decisions on airspace and management thereof to NavCanada. Unfortunately there seems to be zero interest by Nav Canada to go with local gro...

Re: ADSB requirements come to GA in Canada 2023/2026

That's only if you have ADS-B-in on top of the soon to be mandated ADS-B out, which would cast even more money. My point is the mandated ADS-B out only benefits NAV CANADA with respect to general aviation. An ADS-B IN system can be had for ~$200 plus the cell phone you already carry in your pocket....

Re: ADSB requirements come to GA in Canada 2023/2026

Given the very large and very remote areas of Canada that need coverage, doesn’t that make a ground based system rather more expensive than the US? Depends... The homebrewed system running in Ontario would suggest it can be done economically. If the systems were built in volume I can't help but thi...

As someone who has avoided two near misses thanks to ADS-B, I would disagree. The increase in situational awareness can't be discounted.

I use it from within FltPlanGo. Download the sections you need, and they're there when you need them.

Note that they haven't added *all* of the small airports.

Re: Snowbird accident 😢

I don’t care how high performance your propeller driven GA aircraft is. It doesn’t have a lot of airspeed to begin with, and it loses airspeed a lot faster than it will lose altitude. Best glide, then think. Please don’t pitch up after an engine failure. On climb-out, i'm travelling at 2x my best g...

Re: Snowbird accident 😢

Think to what was taught during the engine failure exercise for ppl. First step, establish best glide speed. In your typical trainer on climbout, that requires very little adjustment of the speed , but in a high performance aircraft it often requires a very large speed adjustment that will result i...

Re: Snowbird accident 😢

One swallow doesn’t make a meal. The 180 still goes against one of the basic rules in aviation not matter how one wants to spin it Military pilots are not supermen and in most cases are relatively low time pilots in this day and age . I would bet that there are as many successes as failures, if not...

Re: Snowbird accident 😢

Good news 😮‍💨 trying to figure out what a hard landing while taking off means. Sounds like a rejected take off or engine failure right after lift off. Glad to hear everyone is fine! Takeoff, flameout, 180 to the airport, landed downwind, over-ran the end of the runway. Looked like gear collapsed in...

Re: Historic housing correction on its way: RBC

A 12% drop in house prices. On house prices that are easily 100% inflated as it is. Hardly a drop in the bucket, methinks.

Re: Watch out for your wingman!

In this edge case, yes, having you in lead and the other aircraft following might have made up for the lack of formation training and a proper briefing. In general, you want the more capable aircraft (more manoeuvrable, more power, etc.) to be in the back because the lead aircraft is just flying a p...

Re: Watch out for your wingman!

I have a had a close call or two doing this. Formation skydiving on the jump run was my introduction to formation flying with a quick briefing. Probably the worst way to learn formation, although there are many bad ways. I learned quickly that you have to be willing to be aggressive with the thrott...

Almost? So AC didn't actually do that? Gee, Singapore and Cathay haven't done it either. What local incidents in Singapore might have happened that weren't reported here, I wonder?
