“Orienteering”

NCO Leadership Training Weekend

Ganaraska Forest Centre

.

.

Capt. Weigel the course instructor

.

This past weekend cadets from 151 Squadron and #2 Vandenbos Squadron in Whitby spent the weekend learning how to navigate through the bush using only a compass and a contour map.  Although we have been using orienteering as a leadership training program for our cadets for many years it is now a requirement for all cadets to successfully complete the orienteering program before they can graduate from the level 4 Cadet Training program and be eligible for promotion to the rank of F/Sgt.

Aviation Photo of The Week

.

      

.      

A pilot for a Far East carrier requested permission and landed at FRA (Frankfurt, Germany) for an unscheduled refueling stop. The reason soon became apparent. The Number 3 engine had been shut down previously because of excessive vibration. The maintenance crew had taken some sturdy seat belts  and wrapped them around the fan blades and the structures behind, thus stopping any unwanted wind-milling and vibration.

.

Now the Germans, who are kind of picky about this sort of thing  inspected the malfunctioning engine and immediately grounded the aircraft.  The airline operator had to send a chunk of money to get the first engine replaced (took about 10 days).  The repair contractor decided to do some impromptu inspection work on the other engines, none of which looked all that great either.  The result: A total of 3 engines were eventually changed on this plane before it was permitted to fly again.
