While it won't do anything to make people speak english on the radio, a new requirement to get any license in Canada will be an English test. This is a new ICAO requirement that TC expects to bring in around 2007 (last I heard).

The executive board will be elected soon, in the meantime the money is being held by the same person who runs AvCanada and at this time is going toward ru...

The primary focus is what can CAAP do with respect to training bonds and the Jetsgo situation. Other topics will include updates from various departments such as the website, ...

I was always under the impression that the carb heat carried through to the cylinders. Thinking about it more, I see that the heat wouldn't get far past the throat due to the temperature drop in the venturi. As always, appreciate your wisdom.
