I converted a foreign licence to both Canadian and US a long time ago and I have not seen anything that would indicate any changes. First, your Aus Qualifications are not worth a brass razoo here. And some but not all of your experience is worth every penny. First exam you need a certified log book,...

Thanks Swordfish, Fact is, the aircraft is at 13,000 FT, at the top of a mountain, The reported climb descent climb is corroborated by the computer screen image that shows 192 kts and then zero knots. that 13,000 altitude narrows it down to a very precise location and if the clouds clear,we will hav...

re Bob Weaver of Canadian Press It looks like he has spoken with a number of people who flew with Bob. To give him some credit, the article he wrote is factual, and extremely well written. TBPress (ThunderBay) (and its possible that he has met Bob Heath...) http://www.tbnewswatch.com/news/national/2...

I just got off the phone from talking with Bob's wife Lucy. Lucy told me I was the first and only pilot who flew with Bob to give her a phone call. She very obviously appreciated the call and remembered me. Lucy does read Bob's log book and asks him about the pilots he flew with. Lucy is also receiv...

Like many others who have flown with Bob Heath, our thoughts and prayers are with him his wife Lucy, and the other unnamed crew members. Here is what I make of it. The information revealed is limited but enough. First the accident is located at around 83 degrees, which probably means from 82.5 to 83...

Great post by Colonel Sanders. As he says, keeping them awake is a problem so break it up with a lots of quizzes and never ending questions. Try to have a story about each section. Pull out every crash comic involving the type and link as many as possible to the course. Eg. Engine starting, improper...

Just read the latest mention in the news, looked at the 796 site and then here. While there are a lot of problems with the report, what strikes me is that the report detailed the altimeter settings as correct at the time. A one inch error would one highly probably cause of the accident. There are a ...

I've known quite a few "Ferry Pilots", they are all now dead. One went for swimming with the sharks twice in the pacific before giving up ferrying the pacific. SFO to HNL is the longest leg and its at the end of that leg that most ditchings occur. Fuel feed problems, mistakes are realized until the ...

Now, Can you explain WHY that was NOT Normal?

Australia is identical to New Zealand. The Instrument ride will be a long one, vor, ndb GPS, Loc a hold, Single Engine etc. The exams are not as bad as Canada so its easier. With your time, you wont a problem landing a job but, Aus Aviation goes up and down constantly. Work permit is a breeze, just ...

Cornwall is probably your best option for doing it in the Redbird. If you have 2500 hrs in a Jetstream I would not be so worried about the Inrat exam. I'm in the process of writing it again and at first, it is quite intimidating, but after getting down to the books, I found a few days of review brou...

Speaking of turning off the master switch,
It's amazing how a stationary prop
suddenly achieves the perfect forced landing.

Station Bored, say again call sign

It is a classic reminder that psychological factors are the primary cause of accidents. Yes, those characters who have an attitude / psychology of "to hell with the paperwork and less government in our lives" are also quite often entrepreneurs, business owners whose decisions have made them wildly s...

Colonel Sanders gave some excellent advice. I'm also resitting the INRAT and like Colonel Sanders, I've sat the exams twice before. I'll say this, you can study the AIM RAC and CAP GEN till the cows come home and you fall asleep with your face in the books but, you won't know if you will pass the ex...

Brenda, It can be very difficult finding a job when you have been out of it for five years. When you older, you don't exactly fit the fresh out of college profile that most traditional employers are used to receiving CV's from. At the same time, you have life experience, and may have significant qua...

It appears from your post that English is not your first language. That means you need to study your English and you can use the . text book which is excellent study material. You are unlikely to have any different result using any other study material. If you failed the exam three times, it means y...

When I came to Canada in 1988, while doing charter work, I did the essential ground and air work to pass the written and when done, got another charter job. 5 years later, the wife wanted to work in the USA or other places where an FAA license was essential. In those days, there was no easy way, you...

If you make the sacrifices and put in the effort you WILL get a job. Sorry, I can tell you another view, of what I've seen. The "Road Trip" might be correct in times when there is lots of hiring and lots of vacancies. A long time ago, I did several driving trips looking for a job and once did 20,00...

I'm returning to Instructing after a long absence.

If you are a freelance Class one within an hour or two of Ottawa

who is available

please drop me a PM.


Thanks

I've been out of Aviation for 13 years due to an encounter with Family Court. Now I'd like to get back into flying with some instructing. Last flying was IFR Turbine, however did get a Class 4 instructor rating some 14 years ago and previously did several thousand hours of instructing. I'd really ap...

I was speaking with their chief pilot a while back and I knew several guys who worked for them and their competition, also a great company. Sander's is a great company, pay reasonably well, lots of adventure overseas more suitable to a single guy. If you are married you would have to be prepared to ...
