@Rob_A_Russell You are both ignorant and an idiot. Enjoy your day. Blissfully.

@steffanwatkins Ferry flights (and SFOCs) happen all the time without registration, I'm sure you've noticed that with the ACES fleet.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins Because bombardier has a Pearson land base, they're the company that would be charging the parking fees. Because they're the manufacturer, they can do test and ferry flights without a registration.

@steffanwatkins @karenmccrimmon I should also note that many commercial aircraft are registered as "owned" by their operators even though they are leased from a financing company.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins @karenmccrimmon But the transfer of ownership happened when the cheque cleared, the registrations of the transfer with the FAA and TC followed much later.

@GravyPlaneWatch Correction: The CL650 is listed on that site under "Wanted for acquisition" and not under "For sale" - they just never took down the want ad when they bought it.

@steffanwatkins I'm not bored enough to look this up myself, but you might be....

How did Ford do his Texas trip? Was it a charter with ACASS?

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins It might be full service aircraft management as per https://t.co/kZgqDjLvKM

Or just entry to service as per https://t.co/Igc0UISLTf

@steffanwatkins The province's fleet (solicitor general and ministry of natural resources) doesn't have any similar types themselves, so this is the safe and proper way to have an oddball - like how the RCMP doesn't actually own their Blackhawks.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins ACASS is a charter owner/operator that already has similar aircraft in their fleet, I expect this is just a dedicated contract like CargoJet has for AirDrake.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins C-FBBW was imported and registered in Canada by ACASS on 2026-04-10 and it first flew to Canada (Pearson) with that registration on 2026-04-15.

@MerriamWebster PC stands for Problem Code. The problem with the printer is that it needs someone to load more letter-sized paper.

@luigifcruz I'm transmitting ADS-L in Canada (same 915MHz as the US) using SoftRF and receiving it with OGN (base stations and stratux) already

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@EKOSResearch @FarhanKhanCA Ekos should put out a press release announcing the fraud and report the identity theft to police

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins Except the Mode-S number actually is the tail number just encoded in to hexadecimal for transmission. It's a conversion algorithm, not a lookup table.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins If you run your own receiver, shouldn't be too hard to make a bot like I did with @sosaglidingbot

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins @nationalpost Ah, you weren't clear about what part of the claims you considered suspect. The article says "up to" 4 and then clarifies that the 4th is contracted to Alberta instead of RCMP.

[Rob Russell @Rob_A_Russell]

@steffanwatkins @nationalpost They're talking about the pilots, who are contractors and not themselves RCMP
