I have a question about when it is possible to conduct a straight-in approach (no PT). I'd like to make it clear that my question is not about when it is possible to use straight-in landing minima. RAC 9.16 describes straight-in approaches from an intermediate fix. Although poorly written, it explai...

I agree with this formula. Spent a year in Vancouver on the ramp as a low timer, decided it was enough. Now I'm up north and within 6 months, I have 700 hours, am trained on 4 different aircraft (right seat mind you) including Be20 and should progress smoothly to Pa31 left seat at 1000ish. On top of...

I'm looking for some basic info on Airspeed Aviation out of YXX. Mainly wondering if John Giesbrecht is still the CP and if they operate 2 crew, although anything would be appreciated.

Thanks!

They have a YVR base?

Well I made a post with the same subject name about a week ago and no responses... so I'll ask on on this thread - Skywords advertises for Vancouver. Do they have pilot bases there?

I'm still curious where this information came from...

And where did you hear this...

I've noticed Skywords has their main base in Markham, Ontario however they also advertise Vancouver and Ottawa. Do they have pilot bases in Vancouver?

Just started work at YVR and I'm looking for a place. Think I may need something for longer than 3-6 months though...

Thanks

I hear that pasco is hiring summer help on the ramp. Do they do any upgrading to FO from the ramp?

Seems like an interesting place to say the least! We're kind of behind at school here and won't be done until late May or early June. I've been told my position will be held until June or July.

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for.

Nice ski hill! I learned to ski / board at Red Mountain in Rossland BC - looks juuust a bit different

Just another 250hr rampie

Hey guys, got a job offer in YTH with Perimeter the other day. Was wondering if anyone had any pictures kicking around of the airport / aircraft or town. Lived in BC my entire live and am curious what the area looks like - I imagine it is much flatter :P Only pic I found on a search was a native pas...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm curious how often do the change the exams? Are they changed often with questions randomly generated from a large archive?

sounds right wally, I'm certain you don't need 250TT to write the exam... but to validate the IATRA, 250TT is needed.

Total Time

(a) Aeroplane - Two Crew

ii) Experience

An applicant shall have completed flight training on the aeroplane type and have completed a minimum of 250 hours pilot flight time on aeroplanes.


Perhaps it was lower in the past?

I have recently talked to TC regarding the IATRA and from what I understood requirements are 150 hours total and a license be it a private or commercial. As mentioned the rating is needed for A/C that require two crew. Hmm.. I'm pretty sure it is 250 hours TT. I wish it were 150 though, then I woul...

What would it take for an entry level pilot to get on this cargo run out of YVR?

Do they upgrade from the ramp at YVR? Or do you need the hours first and then apply direct into a FO position? (If so, how many do they want for an FO?)

Top Gun bit was great
