| 30-Jun-2024 | | | Grass around RAJ cut and trimmed Thursday evening June 27, 2024. I brought along a weed/grass trimmer as the grass was up to 12 inches (I don't think the push lawnmower would be able to get through it). | Maintenance |

| 19-Aug-2024 | | | Nose wheel found flat while connecting tach sheets. Added air but there is an obvious leak between the wheel halves. BFC maintenance will address during the week. [19-Aug-2024: Edited by C.Meelker] | Chris Meelker |

| 3-Dec-2024 | | | Good News: Airplane was taken into BFC Maintenance for altimeter issue. BFC's resolution response: I verified your snag and found that the altimeter was 90’ off from the calibration card supplied with the unit. I recalibrated the altimeter and verified the accuracy up to 20000’. It is now within limits. | Maintenance |

| 30-Jun-2025 | | | Reminder: please do not over tighten the oil dipstick. It makes it very difficult to loosen for the next user! Thanks 🙏 | Hal Sabetimehr |

| 4-Jul-2025 | | | Aircraft windshield replacement underway. | Graham Elliott |
| 9-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #1: Windshield replacement - Thursday July 3 - Front seats and side panel interiors removed for access. Removed old windshield by drilling out rivets from lower windshield retainer strap and then lifting windshield up in an attempt to pull it out from upper slot...it was torture and took brute strength to remove as the sealant was old and very sticky. Cleaned up old sealant from channels and removed old plastic from top of dashboard which was deteriorated and wrinkled. | Maintenance |
| 10-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #2: Windshield replacement - Tuesday July 8 - Removed pilot side window by drilling out window frame hinges from door. Torture again with old sealant that wouldn't give, but we finally overcame with brute force and a little help from a neighbour 80 year old mechanic who happened to be passing by. Installed new pilot side door window with new rubber seal (more torture...these things never cooperate). Window frame now ready to rivet hinges back on door. | Maintenance |
| 10-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #1: Windshield replacement - Wednesday July 9 - Trimming of the windshield to fit (this took most of the day and we installed, marked, removed, trimmed, reinstalled about 10 times to get a good fit as the windshield is oversized by about 1/2 inch in both directions. Not so much torture this time, but time consuming and meticulous. We then cleaned up the dashboard on top of the instrument panel of old glue and prepped it for painting. Area was masked and a flat black spray paint applied. It looks nice! | Maintenance |
| 10-Jul-2025 | | | Correction: The previous latest entry should read Up-date #3 | Maintenance |
| 11-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #4: Windshield replacement - Thursday July 10 - Pilot side window frame installed into door and spring reconnected to window lever. Windshield felt seal applied to edges of windshield and windshield installed into opening on airplane (with great difficulty as the slot channel along the top of the windshield doesn't like to accept anything thicker than the plastic...unfortunately the felt added extra thickness). Windshield retainer partially installed with stainless steel screws, washers and fibre lock-nuts...more torture as you have to put your hand way up from underneath the instrument panel and blindly feel for the protruding screws in order to put on the nuts...if you have access, that is....the instruments, radios and all the other goodies make it rather difficult. Stay tuned for more up-dates! (The airplane wont be ready for this weekend unfortunately). | Maintenance |
| 11-Jul-2025 | | | Thank you for the updates, and your tireless persistence and efforts, Allan!! | Hal Sabetimehr |
| 16-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #4: Windshield replacement - Tuesday July 15 - Most of the day involved screws (approximately 44), nuts and washers installed in the windshield lower retainer with four difficult ones left to go. Seat covers installed (and, wow, they look very plush and nice...sheepskin) | Maintenance |
| 16-Jul-2025 | | | Correction: The previous latest entry should read Up-date #5 | Maintenance |
| 17-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #6: Windshield replacement - Wednesday July 16 - The remaining most difficult screws installed on windshield (and wouldn't you know, we dropped the 5/16 wrench down behind the top area of the radio rack...it took two hours to locate it...it's never where you think it is). The top window to wing fairing cuffs were also installed. Headrest holes were punched in the lambskin seat covers and the headrests installed. | Maintenance |
| 18-Jul-2025 | | | Up-date #: Windshield replacement - Thursday July 17 - Windshield finally finished with sealant around the perimeter, interior panels that were removed are now installed, Pilot and co-pilot seats installed with nice new lambskin seat covers. Two new engine cowl mounts installed to replace broken ones. Plastic protective sheet removed from windshield and pilot side window...it looks really nice! | Maintenance |
| 18-Jul-2025 | | | An antenna that was bolted on the old windshield located midpoint is still there but not bolted onto the new windshield (which would require drilling a hole). It may be a Glideslope antenna. Currently we did not want to drill a hole in the new windshield and so it is dangling a little bit from the ceiling. One of the flying club members will tape it to the ceiling until we get a consensus what kind of antenna it is and it we need it anymore. | Maintenance |
| 18-Jul-2025 | | | Special thank in windshield and window replacement goes out to Robert Badiali, Debra Teelucksingh, Marvin McDoom and Zaayan (an up and coming aircraft maintenance mechanic and son of methods employee at Bombardier). | Maintenance |
| 19-Jul-2025 | | | Overvoltage light on at start up; would not reset. Did 1 circuit to test suspected light sensor issue, as previously encountered with lower power settings on club C150 (and rectified with new sensor; 1 sensor currently on order for RAJ); light extinguished with take-off power and remained off consistently for about 15 minutes of flight at cruise power settings (also, ammeter appeared to always remain within a needle width of zero). The O/V light then illuminated again (would not reset), followed by almost immediate intermittent/flickering radios and electrical failure. Immediately returned to NC3 and landed flapless/NORDO. Notified and discussed with Alan. | |
