Simply start the APU, which is more than adequate to serve as the second power source, and press on. APU picks up the bad side easily, and ETOPS is satisfied. I remember when I took my Dispatch oral. The guy gave me a Denver Stapleton to Chicago Midway flight plan to prepare. 727, many inop systems, AND a W departure, which never happens because that takes you directly over the front range of the Rockies. So long story short, I had to leave 45 people off. They guy asked me why I didn't have the items resolved, and I told him that my company would normally defer as much as possible, so that was the mode that I operated in. He gave me a harrumph, but I got the license that day. So I made no assumption about the APU on my flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the views but can’t embrace them in Canada The best part of getting back to Canada is driving with the flow of traffic on the highways, enough said.... We drive with the flow of traffic here, pass on right, shoulder, take all available lanes... You know, drive like a-holes. Also make "Chicago Exits"... Exit right or left from 3-4 lanes opposite. You must be country driving in the US. We were in Iowa City and everybody was lined up single file for 3 miles. Nobody using the construction merge lane... Almost TOO nice to the detriment of the flow of traffic. People were getting trapped between two lights. I know they saw my "Ill-annoy" plates and thought "what a Richard Head!" Well somebody had to move! Use all lanes available and keep flow going! Edited December 10, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we got detained at Rainbow Bridge as they looked through the whole truck. They were looking for guns. What a hassle. It's been a couple of years but I do remember Canada Customs asking not if we had gun(s), but if we owned them? WTF do they care what I own, as long as I'm not bringing it to Canada? Of course, you have to bite your lip and say noting BUT I still consider it very bad form from our "neighbors to the North." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let Us into Canada (old school style) without passports. I accidentally went through Duty Free a few years back. Coming back... They read us riot act in US. I felt like saying: "What? I can't comeback into my own country? Here's our ID. The Canadian Customs Agent effed up." Smokescreen... We have a Constitution here, liberty... Rebels be rebels. 5 minutes ago, row_33 said: road signs in Detroit specify this every half mile puts a little more fear into me, more than normally have heading into MoTown You won't drive so fast in prison.

You can do same here... Just not through a construction zone. Actually, you can... But that's just ignorant. I did have these plates. They never seen them before... Probably WTF. Hope these are in the database now. Will test them again shortly, with tonneau cover open. Probably geographically challenged and said: "WTF 'State' is Illinois & Michigan" while not finding in database. Plates been around for years. First time I crossed border with them.

But the speed limit is LOWER IN CANADA. 100kmh is 60mph. In most all States, 65mph. 55mph in Urban areas AND IN SOME States, 70 & 75mph in open country. Cops will give +0-5mph over... Maybe more within reason. Not sure how culture is in Canada... Okay I do know... But why are you going 90mph. Or is that 90kmh (you said mph)? Modern cars have dual guages, or press a button and go all Imperial or all Metric system. ???Huh??? Yeah... I have taken my car up to 135mph... Just for sh *ts and giggles. But if I was ever stopped... I deserve to be thrown in slammer, butt raped: NO! Even 90, you'd have to throw yourself @ mercy of the court. Just because everybody is doing it, doesn't make it okay. Edit: It's a $$$$$$$ grab too. To catch the "wreckless fish" in the school. Most of the time the pack will go with flow. Nobody is stopped if the pack acknowledges the speed trap.
