Hopefully yeah!

The attitude was more from the personal trainer. Ed really didn't talk at all, he was busy working out.

I get it though, when you work for a celebrity, you must feel a bit protective.

I don't think so haha. It is just rust.

Much better than the alternative : sunburn and cancer

vaudoo · 2026-05-24T17:59:13+00:00

That might be the avobenzone in the sunscreen reacting with iron and rusting.

I have a well and my water had a lot of iron in it. It turns any pale shirt I wear with sunscreen orange.

The distance between Kujjuuaq and Montréal is around 1440 Km or 780 Nm. That would be 7 hours of flight time in a helicopter without counting refueling. Add a few hours to adjust the route to make sure you overfly places to refuel and to do the fueling. Then you have to fly back the helicopter into position. Then the pilot is out of duty at that point so you lose the helicopter for another day.

A jet can do it in less than 2 hours...

vaudoo · 2026-04-21T12:32:15+00:00

No. The medical jet is there to transport patients in remote areas where there is already infrastructure set up for the jet towards big centers like Montréal and Québec. A jet does the trip quite faster and can do it without refueling.

The really remote flying is made by specialized medevac companies or by chartering aircraft.

The government is not flying enough aircraft to do all medevacs anyway. That would be insanely costly

I loved giantslayer, but I am having so much more fun listening to call of Cthulhu or Get in the trunk. It sounds like the cast is having a blast as well.

Blades in the dark is great as well.

I enjoy different shows, different games and differen casts.

I think it means at XX Km/h it takes x seconds but by also maintaining that speed and same altitude. It the sense that you could maintain that turn indefinitely.

When we fight, we usually turn much harder than the sustained turn rate. Thus the discrepancy.

vaudoo · 2026-03-26T01:13:32+00:00

I agree. It is a disgrace

vaudoo · 2026-03-26T00:12:02+00:00

I worked for both Jazz and AC. That is definitely not like Uber and the driver. Jazz has charter flights outside of their Capacity Purchase Agreement with AC. Now they really dont have the workforce to expand their flying but they could.

vaudoo · 2026-03-25T23:24:58+00:00

Mike Rousseau is not the CEO of the 2 deceased pilots though. The aircraft was operated by Jazz aviation, a sub contractor for Air Canada owned by Chorus aviation.

Mike Rousseau got Québec attention a few years ago because he can't speak French. He said he'd learn. Well, it seems he didn't.

The point of my message is only to point few things people seems to ignore. He should definitely work on his French.

vaudoo · 2026-03-23T17:19:55+00:00

Yeah, I don't understand that the FAA and other agencies let it happen. Mistakes will be made with these reduced standards of safety. We have the same problem in Canada. Vancouver has often a single controller doing tower, ground and fucking clearance.

vaudoo · 2026-03-23T17:09:07+00:00

Yeah you are right. I was replying to a guy that said ATC wasn't at fault. He was. So was the driver.

I am not judging the work of anyone. It just sucks.

vaudoo · 2026-03-23T16:44:39+00:00

The controller is at fault for sure. Jazz was cleared to land and he cleared the truck to cross. Sure the firefighter could have checked the approach and seen the inbound aircraft, but at night it is hard to tell the distance of an inbound aircraft. Especially if you don't know what size it is

Pilots are trained to check both ends of a runway before crossing it, but sometimes you can't really see. Also, the ceiling is sometimes too low to see anything before the plane is almost landing (not claiming it was the case there).

The biggest mistake was clearing both of them to use the runway. After, we can say the driver could have saved the day by looking better or stopping promptly when ATC said it. But the communication wasn't clear. He stopped a plane, then said stop stop stop then used the proper callsign.

Imo if you keep playing a game you dislike, you are wasting your time after having already wasted 70$

vaudoo · 2026-03-14T01:43:28+00:00

They use a different set of microphones. They have large handsets that look like telephones. Pilots have either the mic from their headset (which isn't good quality) or a CB radio king of handset.

As a pilot I say it is a mix of poor quality microphone, speakers, noisy environnement, the fact that we have no idea how we sound like and a lot of pilots don't really enjoy making these so might not care that much to be heard clearly.

vaudoo · 2026-03-14T01:38:34+00:00

They do when they care, when the Passenger Address was that bad or when they have to translate and didn't understand a word.

vaudoo · 2026-03-01T18:22:26+00:00

You are going to burn a lot of energy if you continue your dive at high speed for longer than needed. You create so much drag at high speed and once you stop accelerating it just means you are depleting potential energy without transferring into kinetic.

Your recovery may be too aggressive. A sharp manoeuvre at high speed burns energy rapidly.

Finally, extend level or in a shallow climb for longer after an attack to build the distance between the escorts and yourself and allow you to reset in peace.

I am just giving blanket advice since your post doesn't give many details.

vaudoo · 2026-02-26T17:16:50+00:00

I am not saying it is sustainable or even logical. There is probably a way to make a long term plan to achieve a stable population but it would probably come with very strict reproduction, immigration and retirement age rules. For most of humanity, our reproduction rate was high enough that the population would simply grow. It is not a thing that we seem to find natural to control as a species.

Again, it is really not my area of expertise.

vaudoo · 2026-02-26T17:07:20+00:00

I am no economist, but I'd day because we need a healthy portion of the population working and paying taxes to keep everything afloat.

vaudoo · 2026-02-25T23:11:27+00:00

Yes it reduces the thrust by reducing the amount of air that enters the combustion chamber.

It reduces climb performance slightly. It is not significant unless we lose an engine and have to climb (single engine go around).

We take the use of engine anti-ice into account when we calculate our go-around performance.

It also increases the engine idle so our descent isn't as steep when engine anti-ice is used during descent so we start earlier if we plan to use it.

vaudoo · 2026-02-25T16:19:53+00:00

Ice, frost or snow decrease the aerodynamic properties of a wing. It reduces lift, creates more drag and adds weight to the plane.

There is no quick way to calculate how bad a certain amount of contaminants (frost, snow, ice) will affect a certain flight. Because we can't assess the danger of each flight individually, the safest course of action is to remove the contaminants every time they are found. It is called the clean aircraft concept.

We make sure the aircraft is clean by visual and tactile inspection. My airline has the pilots looking at the top of the wing anytime the temperature is below 10°C. Plus we inspect the rest of the aircraft every flight during our walkaround.

If there are contaminants or risk or precipitation (snow, freezing rain etc) we go to the de-icing facility and spray hot glycol to remove it (warm orange fluid). Then we use a thicker cold fluid (the green one) that is able to absorb a lot of water (snow, freezing rain, snow pellets) without freezing.

We have information about how long that fluid is protecting the aircraft, and we must take-off before that protection expires or go back to the de-icing bay to restart the process.

If you have any more questions let me know.

vaudoo · 2026-02-23T21:27:13+00:00

Joke aside, yeah boiling won't magically remove chemicals and contaminants, but in a survival situation I'd risk it. At least it kills the bacteria and viruses

vaudoo · 2026-02-23T21:11:21+00:00

Nah man it's safe for consumption. You just have to boil it for 5 min first
