Back when CARS were still Air Regs they stated that you could do your apprenticeship on foreign reg Aircraft, but you did need to complete 6 months on Canadian Reg. before you could write your exams. (The route I took incidently.) As for the Experimental category, I haven't looked recently but Back ...

Dictionary: Repair - fix; mend, make ammends for modification - change or limit slightly Modification I would assume from a TC stand point is a change to the original design of the product. ie a ski tray in the tail section of a Beaver, Change of the Engine type of Piston to Turbine. Repair - So rep...

The last three shops I took my 4 . to before I sold it was shop rate of 106/hour and I never saw a bill for under 2,500. I got rid of that 4X4 in a hurry! Not to mention the Gas consumption driving to Springbank every day from Calgary. I was spending close to 500 a month on Gas not to mention 1000/m...

Niss: How lucky are you to have a plasma cutter! Well, then go for it! Draw it out cut it out and present it to your AME. Mind you I am not sure what all your planning to do but if your cracking open Pitot and static lines ect to reroute all you instruments, switches and radios then you better make ...

My sources is the opposite with Airco, The maintenance side is not a walkthrough closet like some shops especially in the Edmonton Region. I have had a talk with CB a couple times and He seems to be a pretty good egg same with the Ops manager and CP. Mind you that was all during interviews so maybe ...

If all your concerned about is the cost ask your AME if They would let you do the baffles then have the AME check and verify your work (Kind of an intro to Aprentiod life!) I am sure if your AME hasn't a problem with Showing you what to do, and how to do it you could do it yourself, under loose supe...

Sorry, can't help there with outside Africa work. However, there are quite a number of outfits that do UN contracts just not sure how you would find out who they are.

We are looking at a similiar thing for another Foreign licensed individual. It was explained to us that, all they needed to do was work under a Canadian Licensed AME for 6 months then Write the CARS exam. (That is if the person has a valid ICAO license.) If they License is not recognized by ICAO the...

Wrenching these are a couple of options Com Air (South Africa, they do alot of UN contracts mostly Using king Air 200's) Med Air all over Africa using an assortment of aircraft mostly King Air and Caravans. Airserve World wide everything from 206 to King Airs. Flying Doctors I believe are based in K...

Boy did I open a can of worms when I used Tires as an example! :oops: :oops: Sorry, I didn't mean for the Annual inspection thread to be hijacked to a discussion on tire wear. My appologies! Since we are on the topic. I have been with companies that run tires to the point where the threads show and ...

Strega Yes, sometimes can be a gray area here. I have had some DOMs say if anything fails the Annual inspection ie find a bald tire, and owner doesn't want to change it, then you don't sign off the Annual.(Bit of a lame example but you get the idea!) Then I have worked for other DOM's who say you si...

Snap-off, Mac-off when they are specialty tools, then there is Princess Auto for the butchery tools!
For everything else in between, Mastercraft, Husky, and Craftsman which ever has the best offer at the time!

Yes, sometimes you run into the planes that have had major modifications carried out by some one that should not have. Like a non certified Wipline door on a 206 with no STC or any supporting documents other then this piece taken from wreck so and so this piece taken from another wreck different mod...

I'm living that life right now, it's not that exciting in fact it is pretty boring if the plane is in good shape! I am essentially working part time on the Aircraft and full time on the paperwork for maintaining it in a foreign country. Africans Love paperwork, and I thought Transport was Bad! I hav...

Thanks duplicate,

Most Avionics people I know (Not all Avionics people!) Work regular white man hours (Monday - Friday 8:00 - 4:30) Where most M licensed people work every type of hour under the Sun! (that has got to be worth the extra money! :roll: On a serious note The Avionics techs I know make about the same as I...

Office Supply: As to the AD's depends what the requirements are on the AD, some stipulate a date time, some a specific number of hours and others have both a date and Time listed. ie 200 hours or 12 months which ever comes first. Not knowing which AD/AD's you are refering to nor the time/calender da...

You could try Cascade in Abbotsford, B.C., Field Aviation in Calgary, CAE in Edmonton, and if memory serves a US Aircraft Manufacturing company was planning to move house to Springbank Airport in Calgary (Need confirmation on that one though from any Springbank people on here.) Cascade works mostly ...

Office: Most AMO/AME's see several different Aircraft in a week, if you took the Aircraft into an AMO to have the Annual done the work is usually assigned to the person who will do the Annual. If that said person, (Experienced Apprentice, or AME) is unaware of what AD's, SB's..... Are due at the Ann...
