Re: Having issues with Medical?

Put me on the list. I'm currently required to get a CT scan on my entire torso EVERY year to get my medical renewed. My CAME believes it's overkill and ridiculous, my GP thinks the radiation is a risk to my health, and last year I had to pay $1000 for my CT as it was inside 12 months and OHIP wouldn...

[/quote] No it isn't. That's how it's being justified, but the ugly truth is they are putting low time pilots in those jobs so they can dangle the flying carrot and get away with paying (sometimes less than) minimum wage.

Re: Career Advice

I think some key points are still being overlooked. You have to network. I had an entire career before flying in sales and tons of places said no walk ins. If I stopped at the sign I would have been unemployed. If you are young and don't have life experience and only flying experience I would get in...

Looking for Cub instruction - Durham Region

Looking for anyone that is experienced in piper cubs and off airport flying in Durham Region. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm a CPl/Multi IFR with tail wheel experience but would like someone that can teach me the finer points of how to fly my cub.

Thanks in advance

Floatplane Camping - Do's and Don'ts

Hello all, Just got myself a cub on floats and looking to do some camping in Ontario. I'm wondering what I need to know in regards to where I can land and camp. I know Algonquin and all parks are out of bounds so I'm looking for suggestions and tips. I'll be flying out of the Kawartha Lakes area and...

Re: Having issues with Medical?

Update....... After fulfilling TCs requirements and submitting through my CAME I received my medical in the mail in less than 14 days. Here is hoping the tide is changing at TC.

Re: Having issues with Medical?

Sorry to hear. I'm currently in the same boat. Had thyroid cancer in 2016. Met with the surgeon on why they were only taking half my thyroid and not the entire thing...got some run around answers but trusted her. Needless to say on my followup ultrasound they found a small nodule in the other side a...
