Sure, I'd believe it. I'm no expert but I would say that 49kts is definitely at the top end. Carson's website claims at least a 15kt gain and a 2000 lb increase in weight. If we saw a 49kt increase on our Sea Kings we'd have a no-FLIR Vne of 200kts and an all up weight of 22,500 lbs. That'd be...

The only things in an hourly weather report that are metric are the temperature, dew point and sea level pressure. Everything else is Imperial, wind speed in knots, visibility in statute miles, altimeter setting in inches of mercury. In the Sea King, the only things that are metric are the...

I think they're still in the system, the Air Force guys still have them on their NCD's when onboard ships.

Once or twice a week, you know how it is, but most likely you don't...  ;D

I just did a quick calculation using ING Direct's calculator. Here's how it breaks down... 100 dollars invested every month for 20 years at a 3.65% interest rate will yield $35,376.85, minus 15% and you're left with $30,070.32 85 dollars invested every month for 20 years at 3.65% will yield...

Doesn't exactly work that way. Think of it this way, 100% of your money is allowed to grow if you contribute to RRSPs, if you had to pay tax on the money you invested, only 85% (in the 15% flat tax scenario) would be compounded. You don't need to be an economist to figure out that 100%...

Ok guys, enough is enough. Back on topic or this will be locked and cleaned out. Inch Army.ca Staff

Different guy, Coffin is on the Multi course bound for CC177s. They're talking about Lewis who eventually passed the Hornet OTU.

Why not? The Sqn CO has incredible powers of badge approval for wear. We come up with new Detachment badges for every deployment, so why wouldn't a guy be allowed to wear a 2000 hr badge if it's approved by the CO? I couldn't tell you if it is approved or not, but that's between that guy and the...

I'm sure. We all have ejection seat time, it's part of getting your wings. Snowbird #2 this year is a Herc guy, a short instructional tour in Moose Jaw, but I don't think it's a requirement.

You alluded to being born and raised as having to be a requirement to be the head of state. In a country as open and accepting to immigration as we are in Canada, I would think that it shouldn't matter where one is born, including our Queen.

You mean foreigners like our last two Governors General? Or Vic Toews born in Paraguay, the president of the TB and former Minister of Justice? But don't sweat it IGA, they're good people, they even swore an oath to our Queen to prove it.

First, Snowbird is not a career. It is a 3 year posting and then you're back to your unit. There was a few Sea King guys on the team though both instructed at the Big 2 before getting selected for the team. And to answer your question, yes Harvard time counts. Shawn McCaughey (RIP) was the...

And with that, on goes the lock. Inch Army.ca Staff

In most planes, I wouldn't land gear up just because of snow. You risk striking a wing tip that is that much lower with the gear retracted and flipping yourself upside down. Not a big deal in a high wing plane like a Cessna, but try getting out of a low wing plane with a canopy while resting on...

Uh, wind has nothing to do with whether you land on the right side of the divided highway or the left side, think about it... In either case, if the highway is east-west and the wind is out of the west, you can land either side of the highway and still be into wind.

At sea, 9 technicians do the A check and B check for about an hour and a half after every shut down. That's 13.5 man-hours right there, and these are normal servicing procedures done every single day. I've signed off ground runs that take 30 min, but since there were 3 techs out there with me...

A Helicopter Air Detachment (Helairdet) is typically comprised of 4 pilots, 2 TACCOs (Navigators), 2 AESOps, 1 MWO tech (AVS or AVN), 1 Sgt tech (AVS or AVN), 2 Mcpl AVN, 1 MCpl AVS, 4 Cpl AVN and 2 Cpl AVS for a total manning of 19. So if you go AVN or AVS and end up in a Maritime Helicopter...

Pilot isn't red? I find that hard to believe. We're overflowing with ANAV's here in Shearwater and according to the APS openings, we've got 9 vacant pilot slots here at 423 which would make us undermanned by about 25 percent. CM brief next week where we'll find out for sure.
