Im guessing they look at the exams you've written and seen in which language you did them??

Or maybe french LPI only goes to QC residents lol.

Langley Flying School Rocks my friend... i did a fam with them and it was fantastic. It's like a little community by it self and it becomes like a family. Relatively small and fun

Langley Airport's definately a good airport to practice precise approaches on Runway 01/19.

Good Luck !

I dont mean to be a thread whore here, but looking for the right answers in the right place. Would one recommend spreding out the time in which it takes to complete the PPL, say over several moths or would it be beneficial to do it in a couple of weeks working longer days and busting ones ass so to...

I went the private route and built hours with my own plane. I found sveral differences between myself and a college grad. I developed better decision making skills because when I had a mechanical issue with the plane or weather was questionable I didn't have a flight school making the decision for ...

Just got a new licence in the mail. Nothing has changed on it...no reason to issue a new one. The only difference is that it now say "Language Proficiency - English". What a waste of time, effort, money, postage, paper...etc. Tax dollars / user fees hard at work. I don't know about you, isn't it ni...

Remember all of the schools will say the industry is looking for a lot of pilots ! these kind of schools are in it just for the money and don't really care about your training. Find a school that is the right fit, you don't want to find out at half of your training that the school you're with isn't ...

when I was a PPL student i switched schools, had to wait for my age to meet 17 so that I could get my license, so after my training was done, i just did xc's, upper airwork and trips with my instructor man .. got my PPL at 105 hours, I did start flying since I was 15 though... Don't feel stupid, I c...

are you planning on supporting a family? the early years won't secure you that financial income, not to mention when you fly for the big guys.


But follow your heart cause you'll regret it if you don't !

Not have to make 18,000/year just to get my head in the door to get a chance to fly a shiny jet.

I personally can't name one operator that flies jets and pays 18 000 / year, and there are many out there. Do you have any info on which company pays that much?

good thing my legal name ain't wxnut. Rimsky, I just find Cat disrespectful. This could perhaps be that you don't really know what or when somebody means what when you look at a post. Sometimes jokes are taken as hating comments and flames commence. Perhaps 50% of why we have a flaming culture here ...

I'd suggest taking ground school. If you're thinking of flying commercially, some basic things need to be taught. Missing out on those things means you're going to have to catch up. Online Ground School for a CPL candidate is not the best choice at all. I'd suggest taking a regular ground school cla...

You... wanna 'act' as the mature one and drop it ? afterall you called yourself "elderly" in comparison to me. So STFU and move on will yah... there are better people you can argue with who will give you what you want. I for one won't... so bug off and call it a day you old arse. Im done with you, r...

and you know nothing in general... dumbass.

ttyl '.'

get a life grand pa... picking on me won't get u far, i'll twist ur brain out with teaching techniques if I ever would think that it would be worth the effort. You're not really worth even being paid attention too. So bug off and spend your precious time with somebody else. You said you had a wife.....

Student just learning all these warm fuzzies? Nope. Oh and to answer your earlier question... I don't like the way you respond to some people, that to me is a motivator to push your buttons when I get time to look at what you have to say - mainly bs though. Looks like you suck at knowing who is whe...

I already knew those plus much more that you failed to mention just stickin it to yah pal.

I'm prolly not the best person to be "sarcastic" with as I like yourself don't take bs from anybody I'll answer upright like you do.

Night

Apply where you want to work, get the interview / medical and all that done then worry about red pass


Cat... don't you live in BC ?? whats all this talk about not understanding how canadians do it

Actually you don't they will put you into prepaid spanish classes. There are a ton of foreign pilots flying for them.

Which now that i wonder... how is it that ACA WJA / and other mainlines in north america need a redpass at an airport like CYYZ but KLM guys have nothing dangling off their pockets? lol... guess they don't need a red pass or anything of the same sort to transit these terminals? or do they have somet...

one would think that you would know with your level of experience.

Standard Operating Procedures
- a set of guidelines published by the airline so that the crew is on the same page when dealing with a problem, procedure, etc

Yah, I don't get it...it's kindov in our job description isn't it??? Exactly. How can they deny honest law abiding citizens the right to work just because your work involves flying in other countries. so if a pilot from Lufthansa KLM British Midland Air France Austrian Airlines was to move to canad...

u want to go to the airlines fast? you can consider leaving canada :) and i literally mean it. you want to be a pilot? get your licenses and see what parts of the world are looking for pilots. Mostly, the financially unstable country's will not be able to produce x# of pilots / year, leaving them de...

..and not one that totally sells out all the local people for the high paying customers from China and India. so that means bye bye montair and pro ifr? :P would PFC fall under the same boat cause of BCIT? GO CFC GO then. Landing that 1st job is a BITCH....trust me. I am in that boat now. Companies...

That sounds about right. Working for a pilot supply store atm, I find nothing more annoying then having to tell a customer "sorry we don't have that map because navcanada doesn't want to send us any" This is extremely frustrating for me and the customer. I don't remember the last time we even had a...

I'm constantly disappointed by the constant lack of grammar and stupid spelling mistakes on this forum. I find that swapping THEN and THAN are the worst two infractions. example: "Working for Air Canada is way better THEN where I used to work." "If you don't like the union THAN you should not apply...
