Bell-powered

Hi All, I wonder if there is any formal employees of the old Capital Helicopters? That had maintenance hangar in Delta, and flying bases all over BC and Yukon? I am interested in the history, but don't know very much about it, apart from what I hear from my former boss. Any pictures and information is greatly appreciated. Melvin

Hi all, I am looking for some help regarding the NAT npx 138. I guess nat sold to cobham, can't get ahold of anyone. No surprise there. We got 1 neediness in our fleet the that radio, but it has no guard channels... how do we unlock that feature? Anyone has an idea or a number or name to contact? Much appreciated //M

Yeah we still use it. Definitely has some bugs here and there, but I think it is a really easy way to comply with WB, fdt, and tickets etc. But I wouldn't use it for nav personally

We use cirro A bit learning curve, but it is an amazing set of software. It does everything, flight tickets, weight and balance, duty times, schedule, flight following.. very good. But you have to be willing to learn it. I don't use it for nav. Cause that part is not that good. Pm if you want details

Eagle plains have tons of jet fuel. Not sure about avgas. Tombstones are amazing, follow. Dawson-mayo, mayo- Whitehorse.. I would go to Haines junction (kluane National park) then down to Haines Alaska. Pop over to Skagway. On to Atlin get fuel from Norm at discovery heli. Then Dease Lake, Smithers. Etc etc some amazing country Contact me if you have other questions

Know where you will find the required info. Dress and behave professional. Have a laptop with the regs available.

When I was looking a couple of years ago i found that the posted weight and the actual was very different, the older alpha 200 is still the lightest with comms, but way to big profile for a long fellow like me, I elected to take a chance on the northwall, and I am very very happy, its a fairly snug fit to get it on and off due to the jaw protector, but I found my way. It is very light and very low profile even with 2 internal visors, so for longlining out of it is really no issue.

I got a full suit and love it, stretchy, airy expensive but would do it again. Might get another too..

I guess someone has to come in an be that person. Did you read the first post, clearly some people dont know as much as you Funny nevertheless And i think even Jesus knew that..

All great responses. Nice and clean. I think also worth mention that the external load limit is referring to a load that does not put more weight on the skids. As an example the Bell 407 has a internal limit of 5250 (suck it b3) but an external of 6000. The limiting factor is the skid gear. The powertrain and engine can do 6000 but if you are going down the skid gear wont save your back. as you would be falling faster than a manhole cover..

Tough one, according to https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/reference-centre/advisory-circulars/ac-700-042.html It has to be tailored to your company... Its gonna be a hard one, I think the whole industry is awaiting something.... You have to design it and send it in to TC for approval.... By end of Jan

Make an appointment at Costco hearing centre. Then show up takes 15 min. Then a week to produce. Doneski

I don't personally believe that anr is a good option. I want to hear everything, and all anr does is send out a frequency that cancels the other ones so fatigue wise you are solid. But now you don't know when you are experiencing a dangerous db. I run the northwall helmet with Costco custom earplugs. Works awesome. Northwall was a big chance as it was so new, but worked out great. Light, small footprint, dual visor internally.. got it from Skye avionics. Costco plugs costs 55$

I bought some custom molds from Costco. 50$ and so freaking great. No noise cancelling or anything, BUT brings everything down enough. And no problem at all

Absolutely we should be making 6 figures, but at what cost. People want to sit in their office or not come in at all when there are things needs to be done... machines to clean. Paperwork to be done, I think a lot of people has lost sight of a bigger picture where we making it very hard for operators to be able to stay open. I know of so many guys that just want to show up for go time make x a day and x hourly and when there is no flying they go and do other stuff... if you have a income of 100-120 should not an operator expect to get a hand with other things at the office/hangar?
