Horizon pilots are well known in the industry as wimps

Out of curiosity, is QX NDB capable? On the RJ side, SKYW isn't. Not in the ol' Op Specs.

SkyWest can't do an NDB approach at all? An NDB approach saved my butt going in to ORD one time preventing a diversion. Not many people get to shoot an NDB 9R in actual. Twas fun after doing two misses due to NAV1 and 2 crapping out on the ILS. Didn't have anything else. I was told it was due to water ingestion of a canon plug in the belly. So, since it's a CRJ that SkyWest flys I guess you'll be diverting should the same problem occur to you.

C-Eh
N-Eh
D-Eh...

I fly and hang out with tons of former and curent QX'ers...and while they are usually complete wimps in life...(dashtrash),:laugh: they most certainly are not in flight...

We can in the Brasilia. Not in the RJ. I don't care to get into ORD (or any airport, for that matter) that badly, except my domicile. :smash: FAT has some real approaches, not that NDB crap.

I'm gonna start body-checking every Canadian pilot I see up in Kelowna. And while they're writhing in pain on the floor, I'll shout, "WHO'S THE WIMP NOW?!?" I figure if I do that for the next three years, I'm bound to eventually get the guy that said this. And that will make me feel like less of a wimp.

Capable and authorized in all aircraft (including the RJ), with vertical guidance using DA authorized in the Q400.

Yes, very capable. The departure procedures out of Kelowna and kamloops reqire NDB navigation.:crying:
