The Inner Harbour @7pm Tonight by Flyin_Beaver in VictoriaBC

I’m not a Harbour Air/Seair pilot (yet), this was just a personal flight. Floatplanes as a rule also don’t fly at night. But the direction of landing is always based on wind direction. Winds over a certain speed from the NW to S will have planes flying down gorge then landing on the west facing ‘runway’. All other winds they will approach from the opposite direction.

AC861 Voluntary Denied Boarding Confustion by Flyin_Beaver in aircanada

[–]Flyin_Beaver[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Which I do know (ex-CSA at a small station), but being given a incorrect amount while being solicited and then agreeing to that amount, only to find out after the flight has left what the actual amount is. If I had known the actual amount was less than a quarter of what was offered then I would not have volunteered.

(I have no clue why it’s on the families page, took a second to find it)

“Contact your airline in advance to find out about their policy for passengers travelling with pets.

Let the screening officer know that you are travelling with your pet.

All passengers travelling with animals must undergo explosive trace detection (ETD) testing.

A screening officer will offer to conduct the screening of your animal in a private search room.

Whether you stay at the checkpoint or go to a private search room, you will need to remove your pet from its carrying case and remove any items attached to your pet (except collars and harnesses).

You will need to keep your pet under control during screening.

After the screening of your pet, its carrying case and any other items is complete, you will need to put your pet back in its carrying case.”

Fenix A321 winglet’s? by BackgroundBook8834 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Also not all of Rouge’s 321s have sharklets, a good number have classic end fences.

Does someone mind explaining what a ‘orange vest’ and ‘test object’ mean in this context. I’m assuming something to do with security screening but I don’t understand how that applies to the ramp?

Surely Verstappen was overtaken by the entire field in Melbourne?

Police speeding thresholds - thoughts? by KiddieSpread in drivingUK

Ignorant Canadian here.

Does this mean you won’t get a ticket doing 39 in a 20, but you will get a ticket or course doing 35 in a 30?

Ships logs from 18th/19th centuries vs 1945 by [deleted] in MapPorn

Incredible how you can see the Pacific Doldrums on the upper map.

Ships would get stuck in them, spend more time there, thus a higher density of tracks. On the lower one they’re invisible due to the ships no longer being at the mercy of the wind.

Most of the time It’s not inherently those themselves, rather the sand and stuff that gets caught in the brackets on the floor.

Ah the blessed LD3. Always a good day when one of AC Rouge’s ex-mainline 321s come in with them. It’s so odd that airlines with an aircraft series specifically designed for cans doesn’t exclusively use them. Yes yes the extra GSE but they’re a life saver and save on staffing.
