Curious what your plan was if you encountered an issue during your run-up?

Here’s a proposed change that is being recommended to require ADS-B In along with the existing ADS-B Out.

May be time for some NOTAM hierarchy? Totally disagree. NOTAMS are issued for specific things that can seriously affect any flight that it impacts. And have totally zero impact on all other flights. There is no way to determine beforehand how severe the results could be for any flight that is in co...

If you’re doing the training a year apart and you won’t be using either rating much, if at all, then I assume it is primarily out of simple interest and exposure to different aspects of flying. As such it likely doesn’t really matter. However, I would still recommend doing the taildragger first. Thi...

May have to drop by and see her again next winter when I’m down south. Saw her in 2016 while at Oshkosh and certainly is an impressive bird.

Hmmm, I didn’t think a Twin Otter could be had for a million bucks. Where would I find such a deal?

This thread got me to do a quick look at Cornwall’s website and I noticed a page that I haven’t noticed on other school websites. It titled “Sexual Violence Policy”. I've never seen that before on other websites and I’m wondering if that's something all schools are going to be required to do?

Interesting that you use a personal attack response. All I was doing was making a wee bit of fun about the somewhat commonly used phrase “...a far bigger problem than any of us realize” since the mere act of using that phrase is intended to show that the user does, in fact, realize the magnitude of ...

Loser people and loser companies always blame someone else.

This is bigger than Sunwing. Its a broader mentality that has taken over, and a far bigger problem than any of us realize.

Apparently you realize it since you’re the one warning the rest of us.

There’s no answer to your question, really. If it truly is (and only you know that) a toss up, then just flip a coin because there’s no absolute way to choose because no one can accurately predict the future. The real key is, whichever you choose commit to it 100% and do the very best you can both t...

Oh, those horrible airports! Ain’t it great when our government takes such pride in keeping us all safe?

Hefty +1 to this! TC are not your friends.

What?!??! You mean being an airline pilot isn’t better than the rest of the world?

Did you perchance mean “indubitably”?

I think your logic is a bit flawed. If things were slow, you'd be flying more because there would be more availability of aircraft and instructors. I think you may have missed that the original poster is an instructor and apparently is reporting that the school, or at least he, has fewer active stu...

If it flies, floats or f@#*s, its cheaper to rent. An oldie but a goodie. I heard that way back in the 70’s and proceeded to totally ignore it for some reason. :rolleyes: I’m married, have owned a few boats and also a number of airplanes. Which I guess just proves another old but true saying - “You...

Just another reason not to ride in an aircraft that has to beat the air into submission in order to fly.

If you’re really only 30 years old then nothing is even remotely a long time ago for you.

Imagine paying to park for work.. That’s the reality for pretty much every person that works for any business in a downtown location. So they either take the bus or pay for their own parking in a lot as close as reasonable (depending on their willingness to pay) to their office. Just curious, but w...

Glad everyone is relatively OK. That's all that Pilots fault though. It's not the "take off zone" - it's the harbour and on the water you have to follow right off way rules and avoid other vessels. He had lots of time to stop. Actually that’s a restricted area for aircraft operations only. No boats...

Check with Centennial Flight Centre at the Villeneuve Airport - CZVL just north west of Edmonton. They can do IPCs in their Redbird sim that’s pretty quick and affordable.

As an old guy looking back I'd say that quote is well worth keeping in mind. Along the same line, I would definitely say doing things is almost always better than having things.
