Why, given the current economic and political climate, would Canada Soccer choose to fly on JetBlue to their World Cup match this weekend in Los Angeles? #fail www.instagram.com/reel/DaF7TGl...

Before I officially publish my findings, I need a second set of eyes to help me validate the data. If you have time, can you take a look at my new Uncontrolled Airport Circuit Study data and let me know if anything weird pops out at you. #flying #aviation #avgeek fly.blakecrosby.com/mid-field/

There are many things to be eye-rolling tired of these days, but today it's self proclaimed airline/travel experts complaining about all the things, whether it's seats, Internet, IFE, or some other "shortcoming". You're in a metal tube travelling at speeds unfathomable 100 years ago; get over it.

Sooo.. which airports are the worst offenders to CAR 602.96? Using a LH circuit when you should be using a RH one? 30% of traffic to CYXL are doing wrong-hand circuits on 34. However, these tracks avoid the city and this is an MF airport, so does that make it ok? #flying #avgeek #aviation

Analyzed 321 overhead join teardrops at 🇨🇦 uncontrolled airports using ADS-B data. Surprising result: there's no national consensus on which way to turn on the dead side it's (55% left, 45% right) for standard LH circuits. But individual airports show striking consistency. 🛩️ #avgeek #aviation

Here's my story about @tsbcanada-mirror.bsky.social report into the Titan implosion. Lots of missed chances to inspect the sub, including a boarding of OceanGate's support ship by armed officers from Canada Border Services Agency (not previously reported). www.wired.com/story/canada...

#TSBAir released its investigation report (A24P0107) into the October 2024 fatal accident involving a float-equipped aircraft operated by Wilderness Seaplanes Ltd. in Warner Bay, British Columbia. Find out more: https://ow.ly/XUht50Z8Qq9 #AviationSafety #Media

🇨🇦 Pilots. I'm doing a study on uncontrolled airports and the most popular circuit entry type pilots use. If you would like your uncontrolled airport included, please let me know! I will be publishing the results. #flying #aviation #avgeek

Today, the TSB issued 6 recommendations to @Transport_gc following its investigation (M23A0169) into the #Titan implosion. They focus on regulatory oversight, technical standards for submersibles, and safety management. Learn more: https://ow.ly/73cg50ZcrAz

FACT of the day: For a safety management system to be effective, it should proactively identify risks; and effective risk-mitigation measures should be implemented. https://ow.ly/ifwh50ZbOFB #MarineSafety

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

Albertans narrowly rejected permanent daylight saving time in a 2021 referendum. But today Premier Danielle Smith revealed the province *is* going ahead with it anyway. Opposition in the referendum was strongest in the biggest cities, while support was stronger in smaller towns and rural areas.

More self-serving bullshit from Canada's oil and gas industry. Let's dig in and check some facts. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/14/i...

Look, I know it's a lot to ask these folks to play their cards off the top of the deck. But even assuming the federal gas tax was 25 cents a litre (it's 10) that $1,200 a year in savings equates to 4,800 litres of gasoline consumption. The average household uses *way* less than half that.

Canada is a nation of explorers, builders, and innovators. Today Colonel Jeremy Hansen carries that legacy forward as he becomes first Canadian to venture to the Moon.

Runway incursions remain a growing concern. Despite new procedures and technologies, they’re still on the #TSBWatchlist and have been since 2010. More action is needed. Learn more: https://ow.ly/LCU450Xcx66 #AviationSafety

In seaplane accidents on water, getting out and staying afloat can be critical. After a 2009 accident, the TSB issued Rec A11-06 calling for occupants of commercial seaplanes to wear personal flotation devices: https://ow.ly/sUWe50YuKhp

Trump to allies: “Which of you fucking losers wants to secure the Strait of Hormuz?”

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot: Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus. It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

Aviation organizations worldwide are struggling to attract younger pilots COPA included. If we want the next generation to see value in COPA, we need to meet them earlier in their journey. Here’s how I plan to help make that happen. #avgeek #flying #aviation #copa
