Re: Class 1 Medical - Recent diagnoses of depression
Canadian Flight Trainers has a full article on depression and getting a medical in aviation. You need to prove stability when going on or off any SSRIs before you can get a medical.

Re: PGI's Recommendations
Like any academic presentation, be careful of copyright infringement and cite your sources appropriately. It might also seem nice and easy to paste a bunch of words on a screen, but be aware that doing so might make the student feel like a recipient of your lecture as opposed to an active learner in...

Re: PPL Checkride at 16yo
Do the PPAER and PPL flight test when you're 16. Use them as credit to obtain the Rec permit, and then apply for the PPL on the 17th birthday.

This page says that a PDF version exists somewhere in the TC cloud. https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.895259/publication.html You used to be able to click a "View PDF" link on that page and view a really high quality version of it, similar to how they publish the Flight Training Manual for free.

Re: Transat AT seeking additional government funding after reporting $114.3M Q1 loss
Maybe by the end of the year .. but not in the short term. Unless a bunch of junior guys jump to AC .. time will tell. Lots of junior pilots have already left and are flying at other jobs. They've kept their place at AT in case their new jobs don't work out well enough. The company won't know they'...

Re: looking for Nav trips with answers on Toronto VNC
Stanhope (CND4) to Pembrooke (CYTA) to Ottawa (CYOW). This route was seen on the PPAER exam.
Maniwacki, to YTA NDB, to Deerhurst Resort, to Muskoka, to Deerhurst Resort Again. This was seen on a CPAER exam.
Grimsby - London - Gore Bay - Sault Ste. Marie. I just made this up.
Good luck!

Re: Special VFR question
SVFR is only applicable to control zones and does not extend into other classes of controlled airspace. That includes Class C, D and E control zones in Canada.
Answer to scenario 1 is that you must maintain VFR as required by law. Scenario 2 is a yes.

One of the only times I was genuinely frightened in an aircraft was when my seat slid back unexpectedly as I was entering a loop. It only slid back one or two holes and clicked back in, but my heart absolutely stopped. I don't think I would have reacted as badly had I seen a ghost in that moment. A ...

If you want to get technical, answer A is written as factual report that a condition exists whereas the GFA is a forecast of possible weather.

Re: Are degrees important now?
I think using your post-secondary education to earn different qualifications right now would be worth it. Lots of these diplomas and degrees from colleges can easily be turned into a Bachelor of Education which could give you a teaching job to fall back on in the future.
