Re: C-185 Float Training

Sudbury Aviation on Whitewater lake in Azilda. They've been in the business for a long time and have great people. They have a 185 on floats and a beaver and I think they might have a 172 or something on floats for training too. There is no substitute for professional training from people who do it...

Re: Airline life

Re: INRAT

I heard that there are about 6-8 questions about the GPS, which makes up a good percentage of the exam. Maybe I'll go and write the INRAT soon to find out for sure!

Make your job-search road-trip worthwhile, and count it as one of your two per year. :idea:

Re: CPAER prep

I memorized all of the formula's at the time, and I still remember them (mind you, I do use them often).
Heck, for some reason, I can still do 'Finding the Sun's True Bearing' - and I never use it.
