I was once told that by a pilot once but a few weeks later after I squeaked he also added when the wheel gets too squeaky, it also gets replaced!

I wonder how many of the antivaxers here, have their MMR or tetanus shots? They must also be people who just stay in Canada close to mommy and haven’t travelled outside of Canada let alone their province!

On-Line Petition Agains Tfw Pilots
transientorque2 replied to Gilles's topic in General Helicopter Operations
I don't know but this was a similar issue back in the 70's. Back then Canadian operators were hiring X Vietnam vets to fly in northern Quebec on the Hydro Quebec James Bay project. This was due to a shortage of helicopter pilots. The federal government however provided funding to train pilots. Why doesn't the government do the same today and provide operators that same funding to help Canadian low time pilots get a foothold in the industry rather than TFW taking that experience outside Canada? -
Harvey Evans is the guy who got the compnay going from scratch for Ericson. He passed away a few years ago in Chetwynd.

Why doesn't EuroCopter go to Chrysler and have their engineers come up with the push button electric sliding door opener just like the mini vans have. They're child proof too just in case one of those absent minded drillers or juggies, might have their foot still stuck out the side.

You better watch what you write. We might have to report you to the SPCA for utter threats. :shock:

Boy I'm glad that no one has spotted any of those Black helicopters that lurk in the dark of night.

I think that the HF is just as reliable as a Global Star sat phone, which is just as good as a paper weight right now.

Correct. That was my observation too. Thats called a heel landing unless your feet are on backwards. They're a bit harder to do than toe ins. But this Chinook pilot is a 10 for sure.
