I hope not but won’t be able to fake being surprised.

DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
Re: Buttonville Drone Collision
If the police get too comfortable commandeering airspace, how long before Air Canada sucks one in on approach to Pearson?
Re: Buttonville Drone Collision
If anyone knows who the instructor was, can you pm me?
Its been a several week wait time to get a 172 booking at canadian flyers due to their small and shrinking fleet…on top of the utter insanity of what this absolute imbecile did, he has severely screwed up an already difficult training schedule for dozens of students!
Trey, at times you seem rational and even insightful, honestly, I cant even begin to understand where you’re coming from on any of your points here.

Re: Buttonville Drone Collision
Something on Twitter about the model of drone. I don’t fancy hitting that on final.

Re: Buttonville Drone Collision
Seeing as there's a Hwy 404 interchange with 16 Avenue, my suspicion is that a collision analyst was doing a drone survey of a traffic accident.
Drones have become very popular with the police for collision analysis.
Why the training of YRP collision analysts for drones fails to address CARS and NavCanada requirements speaks to gross incompetence of instructors and management.
Likely the aircraft insurer is already in discussion with YRP for the cost of the teardown, and replacement of cowling and various parts inside. $30K or so. Then the operator may be claiming loss of revenue for a month or two. Even the instructors could claim for loss of income.

YRP’s insurer will pay, and who ends up paying in the long run? We do, because our premiums go up.Why the training of YRP collision analysts for drones fails to address CARS and NavCanada requirements speaks to gross incompetence of instructors and management.

I speculate that the YRP will just pay themselves.YRP’s insurer will pay,

You may be right ... even then it's still public money.

It was a 172 right? that junker is probably back in the air already, if not then buy a new one.RatherBeFlying wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 9:55 pm $30K or so. Then the operator may be claiming loss of revenue for a month or two. Even the instructors could claim for loss of income.
Re: Buttonville Drone Collision
Damages will be into six figures and the plane will be down for six to eight weeks.
Loss in earnings will be about $5k per week, engine tear down will be $30k, new prop $10k, cowl repairs and repaint $10k, new engine mount and miscellaneous items also damaged another $10k.
You wouldn’t be able to replace that aircraft for less than $100k and it will still take you 8 weeks to get one online, so the loss of revenue isn’t mitigated.
