They're great until they cut off your area for delivery after months of service without warning, then you become like me, trying to find and convince a human at @Instacart that they couldn't possibly have cut service to part of #Ottawa intentionally, and that they made a mistake.
I'd like confirmation that an @Instacart product manager woke up one morning and said, you know what? I'm going to intentionally throw established customers in the west-end of #Ottawa under the bus, and not notify them either. Ça fait aucun sens @fidjissimo.
I didn't know @apoorva_mehta is Canadian; I'd like to think that gives #Ottawa @Instacart service an edge, but since my area was cut off after months of service, that's not the case. I can't believe they'd be *shrinking* their coverage, which is why I think there was a mistake.

🇨🇦 When #RCAF #14WingGreenwood personnel misconfigure their plane's transponder with a placeholder to fill in a blank (12345677), it suggests they can't be bothered to look up the right value. If so, what else are they skipping, and how does that affect the aircraft's safety? ImageImageImage
On 2022-04-27 the same #RCAF CC-130H aircraft, now correctly configured, flew again, showing personnel at #14WingGreenwood can configure a CC-130H Mode-S transponder properly, eventually.
How many days will it be before the same mistake is made again?

🇨🇦 Excellent report by @Breanna_KS about the Edmonton Police Service's "secret" surveillance plane, but it leaves a lot of questions unanswered, like, how didn't I notice that one before?

Let's go over (granted, with hindsight) all the details.

👮 🛩️ 👋
Let's look up the obvious, planes with an owner of "Edmonton"

There are 4 plane owners with that word in their name:
‣ Edmonton Soaring Club ❌
‣ Edmonton Flying Club ❌
‣ City Of Edmonton ✅
‣ Edmonton Regional Helicopters Inc. ❌
Re-do the search using the correct owner:

The City of Edmonton own four Canadian-registered aircraft:

‣ C-FEPS Eurocopter EC120B
‣ C-FEPU Aerospatiale AS350 B3
‣ C-GEPS Aerospatiale AS350 B3
‣ C-GMXM Cessna 182Q ✅

🇨🇦 Canadians need to spend more time discussing American aircraft flying surveillance patterns over #Ottawa; Canada's Capital city.
• Who are they?
• Who do they work for?
• What are they collecting?
• How long do they keep our data?
• How do they protect our data?

The aircraft of interest is this one, but these pictures were taken before it was modified with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) equipment.

We can track them using the #ADSBexchange network of transponder receivers, despite their request to the FAA that nobody track their movements.

🇨🇦🚔🛩️ With the Ontario Provincial Police #OPP circling the anti-vax rally today, I figured I should make a thread about what we can tease out of the behaviour of their surveillance Cessna, and if any of that can be applied to other aircraft in the fleet. 🧵
First, consult the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register (CCAR), and search using the name the OPP has their aircraft registered under:

"Province Of Ontario, Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services"

Now you have a list of all their aircraft. 👍

Pop that in a spreadsheet for later, and use the registration numbers to hand-roll a search for the aircraft using #ADSBexchange.
