I heard this was coming after the upheaval with TC’s “explanation” of how the regs are interpreted at the last H-A-C. I wasn’t there I just heard third hand the highlights and just shook my head. Of course there was no warning, there would be a mad dash for Blackhawk sales/imports had they done so. Cant wait to see how they address this in the next decade….. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Grief. “There has been an increase in interest among Canadian commercial operators in using aircraft with a Special Certificate of Airworthiness – Limited in aerial work. This may represent a significant change in the risk environment.”. Ya no #### after that last H-A-C revelation RE: Said blackhawks. They are pulling the safety card so all bets are off. The disclaimer of risk to buying these aircraft moving forward is a pretty obvious deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transport has to play by their own rules, I’m guessing the large amount of interest in these aircraft is not only a concern of just safety. Who knows what the real reasoning is.

Pool pilot Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 26 minutes ago, CM119 said: Who knows what the real reasoning is. My guess. Transport Canada will not train the inspectors on the Blackhawk. The inspectors got their undies in a knot and have put up road blocks. If we can't fly them then we will fight to stop them coming into the country. This is my guess as I cannot think of anything else the inspectors do. We all know they don't shut down shady operators. Oh wait.... I forgot about sitting around drinking coffee on a zoom meeting at home because they no longer are required to be in the office. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its first flight was in October of 1974, it’s a few months younger than the Écureuil which first flew in June of 1974. Not to discredit the Blackhawk in any way but there’s a reason the marines are replacing it. Saying it’s the future is like saying Pam Anderson is the future of supermodels 😂. It kind of is true however that Canada has largely become the old folks home of otherwise globally deemed retired airframe types. The Blackhawk will never make a huge breakthrough in Canadas civilian market so long as they are being used internationally by the G7 militaries at the very minimum. The bell V-280 Valour is supposed to start replacing the Blackhawk in 2030 with no firm retirement date yet scheduled for the Blackhawk. Active military equipment is always a problem with Transport Canada’s aircraft processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
