This last week, Luke Penner (Canadian from Steinbach MB) won 3rd in the Advanced category at the U.S. National Aerobatic Championships! This puts Luke among the very best Aerobatic Pilots in the United States! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpm-SQlOLjQ&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1wxwxtWa6QamD-dBJE...

Good morning all! We've been giving recommendations and records of ground school for the PPL and CPL remotely since 1999, for the most part without drama. The only region that gave us drama was the Pacific region back in 2012-2013. The superintendent at the time said that according to CARs 421.13 th...

As a hearing aid wearing pilot this topic always gets my attention. I have no restrictions on my cat 1 medical due to my very poor hearing. Worse case you have to do a practical flight with a Class I or II instructor if your hearing changes a certain amount. You have to demonstrate that you can oper...

We have practice questions/course for the FAACA and FAAIA exams.

Thanks for the feedback on the ATPL. We are constantly working on the material and we've been sharpening up some of the ATPL material earlier this week already. We are adding more "must know" indicators for the material on the exam, but still including all the material on the study guide. I don't wa...

We find a lot of interest in tailwheel airplanes as we operate 5 tailwheel airplanes, out of 30 trikes. 3, Citabria Aurora 7ECA Metal winged, full gyro panel, gps/vor, g-meter. Also a PA-18-150, and a S2B The 7ECA do a lot of training for the RPP, PPL, CPL, Instructor ratings, and a good number of t...

Hi, What's your level of service for VFR airplanes in the terminal area in your part of the country? How are VFR airplanes treated? In Winnipeg the level of service has been poor and feels like it's getting worse again. Slots for IFR training are routinely cancelled at the last minute. Often the ATI...

Hi, I'm making a large wall map of North America with WAC charts.
Anybody have a mostly clean D-15, E-19, and F-22 for sale? A nice looking F-21 would also be a bonus.

We had word from the TC office at Winnipeg in Sept 2013 that this was the case. Have not heard anything since one way or the other. Will check with TC on Monday.

Hello, I'm very sorry you feel that we are just in it for the money. Obviously we gave you that impression someplace and it really bothers me. I'm very sorry. We've been around for 40 years this summer. With the same owner. It's not our intention to gouge anybody. We feel a big responsibility. Mista...

We have Cessna 152s for rent for $123/hour in Steinbach. These are nice looking airplanes, with fuel, insurance, headsets. We have 18 of them (so you won't have a maintenance issue), 4 have long range tanks, all have GPS built in. Fly all night long. Accommodations if you need are $400/month with wi...

Hi, Tailwheel checkouts. Lots of fun. You'll learn what your feet are for in a airplane and notice an improvement in your overall flying skills. Short and long term rentals are welcome, depending how busy the airplane is and how long you want it. Time for a checkout varies wildly depending on the pi...

Hi, is there a Transport Canada Delegate DE-3, Avionics & Electrical Systems in southern Ontario that can do the paperwork required to TSO 129C a Garmin 430 for IFR certification?

Adam

This has been happening for years. The issue is not the controllers. The sense I get is that they are doing the best they can with what they have. Maybe NavCanada management doesn't give a rip about VFR operations, or NavCanada management is incompetent at training and retaining, or there is incenti...

Here's a new web based Maintenance Tracker program that we have developed for our own company and now offering it to other AMOs.

The price is right, especially for lighter aircraft, it can be accessed from anywhere on the web, and it sends alarms to your email and cell phone.

When flying if the engine starts to run rough it's better to do a precautionary landing right a ways instead of ignoring the issue and waiting for the forced landing. It's the same way with running a flying school. Running 30 airplanes almost 24/7 from 2 bases with rookie pilots is stressful at the ...
