ATC here. As stated a few times, I expect you to maintain whatever mach is assigned in descent until it matches the assigned IAS then maintain that.

I haven't been a young buck in quite awhile lol, but thanks.

I only do the CAT I once a year because I only fly two crew. If I needed to fly single pilot I would just renew every 6 months. Keep in mind that Nav Canada pays for your medical once a year so if you did it every six months you would have to pay every other time. Under 40 your CAT 2 is good for tw...

I heard several flights the other day who were adding a letter suffix to their flight number -- such as "X-Ray" (was AF), and one even had two "Yankee Zulu" (was Speedbird-BA) What is the significance? It cuts down on like or similar sounding call signs. Instead of AF123 and BA123 which when busy c...

The following is a screen capture from the Handbook for Civil Aviation Medical Examiners.

Easiest way to find out is pay for a Cat 2 medical now as callou said. I'm assuming you are younger and it is good for 2 years. You may have to pay to update/renew it at some point prior to training. At least you will know if you have a chance of getting hired.

Hey Utkarsh, I have read all details given during this thread discussion as i was trying to get some more information about whole hiring process at NAV. I have applied for ATS role in September 2024 > Cleared online assessment in the same month > received an invitation for In-person FEAST test I ha...

She only gets the money if you die or she divorces you.

Starting when?

IIRC YQM starts ab initio training in Mar/Apr of each year.

To the people who object or complain about "balance unchanged", I suggest you complain to TC and NavCanada about it. That is the only way you will see a change assuming your complaint is deemed valid. Controllers have phraseology checked at least annually. Remedial checks are performed if you fail t...

Nav Can has had their listing for over 8 months now, I wonder if they just get as many people tested as possible before deciding and taking the very top candidates. Sucks for the rest of people who are waiting for an offer and never get it. Why not just say no and make the cut off hire. They want t...

What does Trudeau have to do with Navcan fees?

I'm curious why a guy in Quebec can make such a useful and free (for now) website when the full might of the Canadian Government can't.
Or won't.

Nav Canada is not the Canadian Government.

The PAL Dash8 departed YHZ awhile ago on their way to Curacao. If I recall correctly they operate on behalf of the Coast Guard.

When do you think it would be appropriate to reach out to NavCanada? Do they care about the details of the delay, or is it a matter of either having a certificate or not? Additionally the TC letter states my certificate would be restricted (ie. "with another ATC") for 6 months -- I presume this wou...

Huh?! Are you saying that NAV Canada doesn’t provide lodging/barracks for you when you go on training, and you’ll be forced to find your own way to live in Toronto on a $49k salary for up to 2 years?? I really hope that’s not what you’re saying. Not too long ago they not only didn't provide room an...

Interesting article in the news. What could it do for jump seat travel?

That's shocking. Imo it should be the first thing done after an incident.

What if the incident is the pilot's fault?

We have to warn people not to eat detergent pods, I don't hold out much hope of this being successful for the general population.

Have you tried an optometrist's office?

Or these guys list both polarized and non polarized:

Thanks!

Everyone is a full time employee either indeterminate or on contract for a specified period.

You will probably have more luck with posting this in the general forum as opposed to here in ATC.
