Hi Boys, Ok quick question for you. I've been introduced to two different types of CORRECTION methods for holds when dealing with a tail/headwind. The 2/3 method which I don't agree with, and the other method of adding/subtracting the seconds according to your outbound / inbound tracks. If I fly out...

And it's ok to put students, instructors and other pilots in danger like maylan does? It's ok to ignore health and safety regulations and labour laws like maylan does? Probably 90% of flying schools in Canada are operating against the labour laws! Health and safety? The good thing about flight inst...

Is there movement? I'm at least seeing a few job ads being posted for pilots / week. This is much better than going for months without any.


What do you guys think?

I just have a question for you ifr pilot's. You're in a single engine aircraft and are IMC... and all of a sudden you lose your engine. What do you do? How do you do the forced approach when you don't even see the ground?

If somebody could help elaborate on that it would be great.


Thanks

The company had its flaws even when RH was the CFI... Instructors who moved on to better things were thankful for the few years of flying but were not happy with the pay and treatment.

Unfortunately some schools don't seem to rent out planes solo at night time.

Then I would quite frankly not call them flight "TRAINING" schools.

I had a chap in here today who had been asking a question of flying instructors and they did not give him the answer he was looking for. He'll probably read this, and perhaps so will the instructors concerned and they will know who's who... But this is not about who's who. In the context of current...

So when can we expect the flight training industry to use modern computer flown trainers so all pilots will be more equal? In the not-so-distant future, the flight training industry will have to use only trainers which can be successfully taught via "twitter" and flown only by thumbs. :wink: There ...

Meh, I called and already pre-bought my set of VTA's and VNC's... apparently they're not so bad with distribution. I saw the changes, and I don't see what the big fuss is, they have opened up some really good spots for flight training which are clear of any transit routes between YCW and the mainlan...

Was wondering if anyone had any advice about how many hours I should fly per week until I am able to get my ppl? I am in the circuits now, and was told that my first solo should be coming up in the next week or so. One of the CFIs at the club said twice a week was ideal, not too much not too little...

Does anybody know where they will sell them? I tried calling Aviation world today but they were closed cause of Canada Day. I reckon they're going to be sold out pretty fast, so that means that the rest of us should be grounded until they send out more charts? Also is it just the VTA? I'd guess the ...

Yup, dumbed down and safer because of it. Its like those gear levers that look like a wheel -- that was someone's idea. The gear and flap levers used to look the same, and they are now made obvious (dumbed down,) so it's easy. Same with GPS, makes things easy. Same with an autopilot. And controlled...

Yes it has. Another sub-topic, could this be the reason why pilot's are treated so poorly? Aviation attracting the "dumber" and "non-cognizant" person to the industry hence causing lots of havoc. I'm not necessarily talking about competency and dumbness, even though that also is a factor. But just t...

HAHAHAH

Just so that you understand VOR's a bit better. Draw a fix on a piece of paper. Draw a quadrant over the station Then draw a bunch of straight lines leaving the STATION. These are your radials. So if you are to draw the line (RADIAL) that heads SOUTH EAST bound, your only way to fly back to the stat...

I'm trying to imagine the bald french air canada flight attendant doing a rap.

you got it hairdo

When we add the backpressure, we are increasing the AOA on the wings to produce more lift for the speed we are going. I think what you meant to say was that when we increase AOA in a steep turn, the airspeed will drop cause of a higher total drag (induced). We overcome this by adding a bit of power...

I honestly think KAG's resume is pretty sweet and to the point. I mean based on what he says, this resume was eye sighted by JZA and he's currently one of their fliers.

if you don't mind, what is your experience like? hrs? qualifications?

Has anybody found success with the avcanada / pcc ???

I mean the Instructor Position posted a few days ago was something I applied to, but no response. I applied when it had 2 views so I must have been one of the first ones.

Interesting....

Then a carrier like Ryan Air walks in and gets all of the customers.

Today it's no longer "oh I flew on British Airways, I can keep my head high." It's more about getting to your damn destination; there are so many options.

I was obviously being serious

Time to bring in the cadet scheme program and fill the equipments with 20 year old captains who's dream is to fly a jet one day... he'll probably do it for free Plus, he'll get a dental plan out of it too... we are speaking about Speedbird right?

Its not the industry its the generation. This generation entering the workforce now has always had everything NOW. Highspeed internet, streaming video to their phone and youtube video. They graduated high school at the height of an economic boom, which meant jobs were easy to come by, and paid well...
