HST Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Any thoughts on whether this could fly north of the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 For me, unless it has floats, the single engine approach doesn't work, especially IFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 the US has an airport every 82 feet and most are ILS equipped so single engine operations are viable. IN Canada there is an airport every 800 miles and if your lucky you get asphalt, so not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super 80 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Someone toyed around with this idea in Southern Ontario and the Montreal area, also with PC-12's but they couldn't raise any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Good airplane but like a lot of things that work in the US, I don't think we have the population to support this kind of operation. Definitely interesting though. With airline travel becoming so unappealing, I believe more ideas like this will continue to surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp fa Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If it was going to work anywhere up here, I think GTA to Muskoka would be a good bet. Lots of money there, lots of incentive to avoid the hellish cottage commutes on the 400. It would probably have to be in conjunction with some kind of ground transport shuttle service as well though.
