Maybe they didn’t fill out the right checklist? Try arrival departure and DP checklist?

Hi Did you check that you got fuel at the injectors? aired out the fuel system? More crazy stuff; are there any emergency stops are they reset?

I wrote my exams at Halifax office and everyone there was great! Very helpful. I find lots of it is how you approach them. They don’t make the rules they just try to follow them.

I don't want to go there but I ha...

That musical would have been different if they came there to work.

It's crazy that our rescue/lifesaving equipment is to dangerous to use, at drills and exercise, as intended in a real emergency.

I would contact the manufacture of the cooler, you can add to many plates and mess with the flow rates and actually lose cooling capacety.

Hi, Did you have it apart again since you changed the O-rings? It's easy to damage the rectangular ring that's on the lower stainless bowl, the one under the discs, during assemble I did this myself last month. And it gave me a similar problem. How are the bearings check the maintence history if the...
