Re: TC ATPL to FAA ATP Conversion - ACTION NEEDED

Not only difficulty with getting the U.S. ATP now...

Try getting a visa or approval for foreigners (Canadians) to take the required courses for training in the USA. Likely a road block there with U.S. Homeland Security & Customs as well...

i.e. fingerprints etc.

Re: Turbofan Icing Protection?

What about Air Temperature rise with the incoming air impacting the spinning Fan Blades.... Does that happen and would it be enough to keep ice from forming as well ???

I have some time on that plane when it was a skydiver machine, had no idea it had damage history like that. It flew pretty good though.

You are not alone Mav24.

There is a lot of people in the same postion with more time and experience. Contacts and people who know you are your best way to break into this industry. Keep trying and buy the guys on your trip north some beers. :wink:
