Re: Is this IATRA Vaild?

With 180 hours it's a good idea to learn how to navigate the CARS effectively.

Have a look at 421.40 (3). Specifically all the requirements for an individual type rating.

Re: How do you value yourself as a low time pilot?

Self value and market value are 2 very different things. A 200 hour pilot today has very little market value. A 200 hour pilot should have the same self value as a 20,000 hour pilot. You are not your job and your self worth isn't tied to your job. Market value is a supply/demand issue. How many peop...

14 Day quarantine to be removed?

The sun isn't my preferred news outlet but maybe we haven't seen the end of airlines in Canada.

Re: cost of a charter

According to google the hourly rate for a Soverign is 4000usd/hr. Ballpark, 7 hours of flying. $28,000 for just the ride. On top of that you have to pay for crew and airplane expenses. Let's say $1500 per day for the crew and airplane. $32,500USD or roughly $45,500CAD for your 3 day trip..... What a...

Below 29000ft, it's up to your how to proceed in an emergency situation (Nat manual 17.14). If you're flying in NAT HLA then you must fly the contingencies regardless of your location.

Re: ATPL logbook question

"more is always better" has less to do with transport and more to do with the law of averages. If you need 250 hours PIC and have 1000 hours PIC then 3 out of every 4 hours could be logged incorrectly and you'd still be over the limit. If you need 250 hours and have 250.0001 hours then any mistake d...

Re: A Field Guide to NOTAMs

Would you care to give an exhaustive list of what kind of notams are essential? I don't think we need an exhaustive list. I think it's actually very simple. We don't need 300 notams about closed taxiways and burnt out taxi lights, which I can't and don't care to memorize. The controllers will know ...

I would also be interested in seeing the 2019 numbers. I will say that the numbers have increased closer to 20% since the 2017 survey came out.

Does anyone have access to the ATA SPEC 2000, chapter 17. I'm just looking to have a cursory view and don't want to spend $600 just for a curiosity.

Re: ARINC and FMS

Are all the published instrument approach procedures possible to be coded as per ARINC 424 standard on a FMS Navigation Database? Yes, if a procedure were unable to be coded it would be unable to be retrieved and therefore illegal to be flown by the fms. Up to how many fields can contain an IAP rec...

I believe there are certain vacuum pumps and that can be damaged by being rotated backwards.

I also agree that it is Obstacle clearance. That poses some questions however. Is it possible that the obstacles are future planned obstacles and required by the surrounding municipalities? Can obstacle clearance be proactive vs retroactive? Is it possible for the surrounding areas to affect Federal...

Re: YYZ SLOTS.....Again

The real question should be why. It was determined that the terminal can handle roughly 20-30 fewer movements per hour than the runways. What is the point in restricting aircraft that aren't actually affecting terminal, and therefore airport, throughput? During known peak times or times of weather, ...

Re: 705/703 Mixed Flight Time Restrictions

It depends on the order in which you did your flying. You have to be legal for the flight you are about to do. You could do 40 hours of 705 flying followed by 20 hours of 703 in 7 days but not the reverse. As soon as you hit 40 hours in any aircraft in 7 days you cannot fly any 705 aircraft. As soon...

Re: King Air PIC or Dash FO?

It depends what you want. If you want to get to the airlines faster, take the job where you'll fly more hours.

If you're enjoying the journey, take the King Air. PIC time will make you a better pilot and probably pays more. Also, if you eventually decide not to go to the airlines, PIC is king.

Re: expired medical question

Chances are, enforcement would like to have a word with you. They would look at whether it was done with intent (i.e. extenuating circumstances), how many times it was done and if you still did it after discovering the fact. They would then either council you or apply a monetary fine for each flight...
