Survival Vest R eferring to the article Survival by Steve Drinkwater (Nov. ‘17), I would like to provide the following advice. Get a fishing or similar vest with lots of pockets. Put your survival gear in the pockets. If you have to get out of the airplane quickly, you’ll have the basics: signal mirror, first aid kit, matches, secondary fire starter, etc. on you. You may not have time to rummage around the plane looking for your emergency pack under all the stuff that has fallen over top of it. You also need to know how to use it. Volunteer to be a Scout leader, etc. so you can learn all sorts of outdoor skills, or just go camping and figure out how it all works. Having the camping basics down pat can make your remote stay much more comfortable, or perhaps be the difference between life and death. Harrie Jones

Sa- t Fi Comes to GA New Era in Cockpit Communications

Satellite communication is getting more common in GA.

more than 1,000 satellites in earth orbit, comprised of two types: Geostationary (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO). GEO satellites, stationed 22,300 miles above the earth, appear fixed above a specific point on the earth, and deliver bandwidth of between 200 and 430 kbps. LEO satellite constellations typically have 60 or more satellites, orbiting at high speed 485 miles above the earth. The LEO constellation appears to be in constant motion; it is designed to have a satellite fly by the user at all times, thereby maintaining the communications link at modem speeds. Next-generation LEO constellations will provide bandwidth performance improvements.

Cause, Effect, Repair Van’s RV Step Problem

Proper repair of fatigue cracks can be challenging.

ued use of this defective step would have resulted in complete separation with a skinned shin and possibly a damaged flap. On an RV website I discovered that this problem is not unique to our aircraft, and is certainly not uncommon. What surprised me is that it is also not limited to the right-hand step but also occurs on the left-hand one. So much for my theory of the prop pulsations on the right-hand side of the aircraft. Or do prop pulsations also affect the left-hand step? Also, in our case the right-hand step was probably used less than half as often as the left-hand one, so stepping on and off of a step seems not to have played any role in its failure. Repair: Our first repair obviously did not solve the problem. For our second repair I used 4130 steel to form an airfoil sleeve, 12-gauge by 1-1/2 in. long, to fit snuggly inside the airfoil section of the step at the fracture point.

Required Radio M andatory and Aerodrome Traffic Frequencies

Be aware of required frequencies around some airports.

Some aerodromes have a designated Aerodrome Traffic Frequency (ATF) based again on the mix and density of traffic. The ATF is es- tablished to ensure that all radio- equipped aircraft operating on the ground or within the area are listen- ing on a common frequency and following common reporting procedures. The ATF will normally be the frequency of the UNICOM where one exists or 123.2 MHz where a UNICOM does not exist.

Runway Lights on a Budget Unity Airport’s Homemade Solution By Maynard Slater

The Unity Flying Club operates and maintains the Unity, Sask. airport (KE8). Back around 1980 a decision was made to install lights on our new 2000-ft paved runway. The cost? Quotes of $10- $20,000 were easy to get; it was the cash that was hard to come by. First we had to plow a trench on each side of the runway. Next, for 20 lights, 100 feet apart on each side of the runway, we needed 40 wooden stakes to which we wired 40 pieces of two-inch plastic water pipe 24 in. long. Some suitable wiring was available, which we put into the trench from post to post. For lights, we used outdoor sockets that were mounted in the metal lids of glass peanut butter jars, employing Marr connectors . We used ordinary 110-volt bulbs under the glass jars. The light sockets fit into the top of the two-foot pipes. An ARCAL of metal fencepost, shaped like a T, bulbs with “corn cob” LEDs, which unit was not purchased due to cost would allow the two feet of plastic then gave off a white light instead of and reliability issues.

Judge Honoured Vegreville Celebrates Moshansky By Ed Lefsrud

V egreville Flying Club honoured a founding member at a 2017 fly-in breakfast. The Hon. Virgil P. Moshan- sky, C.M., Q.C., LL.B., FRAeS., was the guest. Moshansky, a Vegreville lawyer and previously the town’s three-term mayor, was an aviation enthusiast, pilot and plane owner. In the 1980s Moshansky was appointed as a judge on Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed to head up a Commission of Inquiry when Air Ontario flight 1363 ended in disaster at Dryden, Ont. on March 10, 1989. Moshansky was tasked with making Canadian aviation safer, and he did. In the summer of 2016, Moshansky was given the University of Alberta’s Distinguished Alumni Award. On the day of the fly-in, a crew of volunteers parked around three dozen planes and fed about 300 people. Moshansky gave a most interesting insight into the Air Ontario crash, its investigation and the resulting recom- mendations. Moshansky’s presence at the fly-in was made possible by Bern Katelko, who flew Moshansky from his Calgary home to Vegreville airport (EV3) and return in his Citation.

Rambler Rolled Out Montreal Aviation Museum’s Latest Creation Text and photos by Jean-Pierre Bonin and Robert St-Pierre

It was in 1938 that Patrick Campbell, then 15 years old, paid two dollars for a seven-minute flight in a Curtiss-Reid Rambler. The boy grew up to be an engineer in the aviation industry and, after retiring, became a volunteer at the Canadian Aviation Heritage Cen- tre, recently renamed the Montreal Aviation Museum (MAM). Campbell remembered his flight in the Mon- treal-built Curtiss-Reid Rambler and convinced MAM to build a replica of this airplane for Montreal’s 375th anniversary. It would also be a fitting tribute for Canada’s 150th festivities, The MAM received the Canadian as this aircraft is part of Canada’s Aeronautical Preservation Association aviation history.

The new captain said his best advice for aspiring pilots is to get flying.“Get your hours done as quickly as possible because people are hiring,” he said.

For Morriset, there are pros and cons to each path. “There’s a certain amount of value to paying your dues, but I think it’s great that new pilots won’t need to sacrifice so much to move up in the ranks.” After 11 years with the company, Morriset is a training captain and has been named one of two pilots who will fly the new Cessna Grand Caravan EX on Harbour Air’s downtown Vancouver to downtown Seattle scheduled service launching in the Photo by Mike Reyno spring 2018.
