Just a stab in the dark and wondering if there is anyone out there in avcanada world that would have a room for rent for the duration of my course in YEG starting February? The commute from where I live is not possible/reasonable so I need some temporary accommodations, a bed and a desk would do. Ra...

I'm genuinely curious what TC think is going to happen when 705 operator go to various airport with no deicing facility/ability in the winter in Canada. It is just a matter of time and it will happen again because the same thing is going on all over the country. There are operators that don't deice...

I'm curious about something, do people feel that they're potentially limiting themselves by refusing a different stream than the one they actually want? I see here that most people are lining up for IFR and VFR options yet wont even think about FSS as a means to get into the system then later on upg...

Any news about offers for the new year training courses yet in YEG?

100% taxable and I believe the words the words on the offer sheet goes along the lines of "...the training allowance is taxable and will be reported on a form T4A..." If that's grey area then we are all screwed... as far as that other person is concerned if they chose not to report on their T4A I ho...

at the fear of feeding the troll..... No wonder the schools are giving you the run around. If this any indication of how your dealing with this issue online is in any similar way how you dealt with it in person at the FTU, I'd be surprised that an FTU would have not given you your PTR back and said ...

Is anyone willing to move for a job these days? Granted that there are many aviators that will pickup and move to further their career in aviation however, some seem very unwilling to move. Also granted that family situation can also affect ones ability to uproot and move easily but you chose this c...

However, it's not in the POH, if it is so crucial why does it not exist as part of pre-start in some schools and does in others? We have one school of thought that says no practical reason not to follow the POH the other school of thought that creates double redundancy and unnecessary 20 minute run-...

What about that mixture check while at runup power? Even had a 'discussion' with a PE about it. POH makes no mention of this yet many FTUs have this in their checklist.

WTF? I have never heard of anyone charging for that exam. No school that I have been part of student/instructor has ever charged for that.

@davecessna Obviously Dave you don't care a rats ass about instructing I suggest you and others like you keep wondering if CAVOK is good enough to fly or not and leave topic like this to those that care. You're dead wrong, sir. I'm paying you your poverty-level wages to teach me how to fly, in the ...

With people continuously being bottle fed info and used to being "friends" with their teachers, are we losing our ability to truly being an instructor to them? With people being concerned about hurting other people's feelings or fear of ending or damaging the "friendships" at stake can this be a cau...

It's amazing the amount of people who get mislead or mislead themselves or have been mislead by someone who has taken training before and says it "has" to be done such and such a way or else. Much of the scheduling and training schedule also depends on the students goal and your market place. If you...

Only time I've seen a 90 day extension was when TC cancelled a renewal ride, it became their fault that the rating would have lapsed. But it would be a new one for me to see an "outside source" other than weather to cause TC to offer an extension. Class II rides aren't the end of the world, but when...

Im with SSU, what ya finish? Unless we can speculate?

You finally finished dinner

what an absurd thing to base a life altering decision on. since when does what you wear affect what kind of pilot you are? It is not absurd. When one of these shoulder decoration schools dare call me or my fellow instructors unprofessional because we don't have that as our dress code their credibil...
