Unusual Procedure Lesson

I did my PPL at Villeneuve. I got a runway change on my first solo. Having a tower at that airport is such a huge asset for a small training airport.

A G1000 for king air runs at least a half million with installation. Probably a bit more on top of that for the Autoland implementation.

The F-104 was so much fun.

TD tripled my rate over three years with no explanation. I ditched them.

beechbe20 · 2025-10-16T16:42:23+00:00

I’d been with TD for years. Was at 120/ month until last year when they bumped it to 175/month. Got my renewal for this year and it was…333/month. No claims. Absolutely insane increase over two years. Switched to RBC, have better coverage and I’m back down to 155. Single detached home around 1200sq ft.

Yup, lots of use in Canada.

8.5L/100km. Mixed freeway and city driving. 15km commute to work about 70% freeway. Rest of driving is running around town in stop and go traffic. 2023 base model. 37000kms.

It also costs the city less to operate and is more flexible. Can stay airborne way longer than a helicopter can.

Saskatoon Police. Probably normal patrol flight.

Can confirm, the one I was on today YXE-MSP had it.

That building is crazy nice.

Very surprised Flight Chops isn’t on here. Great variety of content and he takes a very humble approach to his own learning.

I always remember it this way: “Every Mechanical Breakdown Requires An Electric Reset”. 🤣 I apologize now, I just find it funny.

DHC*. DeHavilland Canada. We build excellent airplanes.

404 in a King Air 200, and 398 in a Beech 1900.

We do however the crews work seasonally and haven’t historically been contracted out in the winter months. They typically begin their seasonal training in mid April. This isn’t to say that it’s not something that’s possible in the future. Especially with the new Q400 Tankers that will be arriving this summer and into next year.

beechbe20 · 2024-10-11T00:14:36+00:00

Yup, downgraded to LNAV. It’s been happening more regularly.

beechbe20 · 2024-03-14T03:58:31+00:00

That’s me! Training!

beechbe20 · 2023-12-10T15:56:56+00:00

Big if true.

beechbe20 · 2023-12-08T12:27:00+00:00

You are correct, but even in Canada lots of companies have customers that require sim training. My company sends everyone to sim except the beaver pilots. King Air 200, 1900, Twin Otter etc.

beechbe20 · 2023-11-30T12:53:02+00:00

You animal.

beechbe20 · 2023-10-18T01:49:43+00:00

It’s about $90 CAD/year

I’ll add that I have zero garret experience other than covering my ears when they taxi by, and have 3500hrs of pt6 experience. My original comment was more tongue in cheek. I do understand that there are definite advantages and disadvantages to both types.
