CYQB - Jobs de rampe
Bonjour à tous! J'ai décidé de profiter de la période creuse pour compléter un BACC universitaire dans la région de Québec. J'aspire à travailler dans le domaine de l'aviation à temps partiel, pendant ces quelques années. J'ai un multi-IFR commercial et de l'expérience de vol, mais je doute pouvoir ...

Re: Laser EYES
Had Lasik done in 99. It's good to see life once again! I was -3.5/-3.75 with some astigmatism. After having done a few flights and skydives at night, I can now safely say this eye surgery went alright ;) Choose a surgeon with a strong eye-surgery background. Mine had over 13k eyes done prior to get...

Re: Laser Eye Surgery
I had Lasik surgery in 2000 from a doctor who had performed this before more than 13k times. He lifted a portion of the cornea, then sent the laser to 'permanently' correct my vision. At that point in history, they were merely waiting a single day to operate the second eye, as the success rate was p...

Re: VFR over the top for sea planes?
And I am not convinced that the amazing advances in technology in aircraft has made any real difference in the ability of pilots to make sound decisions when flying them. Of course some folks might be tempted to push on weather more since they got that handheld GPS. Which is, I agree, not an advanc...

Re: VFR over the top for sea planes?
Flying is a learning experience from our first flight to our last flight and reading all these opinions is a learning experience. By the way would what I think really be of value to you? Well put, and that was my reason for asking. I for myself consider mixing up opinions from experienced workers (...

Re: VFR over the top for sea planes?
You wanna be gliding distance from water - or ground, if engine failure. It's definitely safe and should be legal to VFR OTT where you got a broken ceiling in which you can pick spots on the water/ground for landing in case of need (engine failure). My opinion is, that's a solid and safe scenario. K...

Re: Qualif Multimoteurs
Voilà, saison sur flottes terminée, j'ai fait le tour sur la côte Pacifique et (en relativisant aux tarifs québécois) il y a de forts bons prix. Pro IFR revient souvent pour les prix, la qualité de l'éducation et le programme bien monté. Malheureusement ils sont forts occupés ces temps-ci aussi bien...

Re: Regulations/Standards on Parachutes
If kept in the container, it has to be opened, vented, once in a while (more often the better), and repacked My parachute rigger tells me that the more often you repack a chute, the faster you wear it out. Especially with the new 180 day rule in the USA, we just repack our emergency chutes once in ...

Re: Regulations/Standards on Parachutes
So my chute is no longer serviceable even though it has been in a warm dry environment and never opened since new? In other words it has no value now? It certainly still has some value, as far as emergencies goes. I personally have never found any trace of legal requirements for Emergency Chutes in...

Salut, J'ai maintenant pas mal fait le tour de mes options, je crois. En premier lieu, j'ai elimine l'option de faire mon multi-ifr aux USA et convertir ensuite en CPL. Probablement l'option la moins dispendieuse, par contre, malheureusement... Deuxiemement, j'ai fait le tour des tarifs canadiens, e...
