Freewheel Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Purses on the West Coast are smaller than those in Central and Northern Ontario Just saying! While that may be true, it looks like West Coast pilots are using the same 27 lbs Braidner survival kit as many pilots in Ontario (as ballast ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Maybe I'll have to call the "Integrity Commissioner" Mario Dionne...apparently TC has had some issues with integrity lately, so you might not be too far off.. http://www2.macleans.ca/2013/12/23/transport-canada-inspector-falsified-safety-reports-but-details-under-wraps/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45PSI Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have. in the basket. not really a big deal - they open like lifejackets, not like your car's airbags. usually it's right as they're loading, and the basket's open anyways. if not the basket often rips 'em open anyways. as to in the cabin, they're the same UN number as lifejackets... they're the same co2 charge. but I like 'em outside, the noise of one going off is scary in flight, and they're better stowed in the basket too.
