To catch a predator?

Why on earth does the following job ad give me shivers? 250 TT requirement, way far away from the GTA/YOW/YUL/YYC and et al… Promissory note for a non type rated position? Okay, I still remember (dare I say with foundness?) Countless visits to the EI office and long road trips to get my next gig aft...

Re: help with 703 training exams

It's more on the line of "what will the inspector accept"? If I see others then I know what they are expecting as they won't give me any feedback on what is acceptable and what is not. Yeah that’s your only hurtle and frankly unless you have stumbled upon an outcast I have found that most of my dea...

Re: help with 703 training exams

Yes obviously all those 703 operators need their own version of GPS theory to ensure it's properly applied to their operations.... Since they are all using different GPS satellites and GPS networks right? With gps the exception, all the rest need to be tailored to the operation in question. I have ...

Re: T/O or Landing during Solar Eclipse

The moon is too small for totality. It looks like dawn or dusk during a full eclipse. The correction to that is 'it depends'. The earth-moon distance varies over the course of it's orbit. If moon is at it's closest to the earth at eclipse time, totality can last up to 7 minutes and it will be compl...

Re: Strike Vote: 97% in Favour

Something I found online Why does everything feel so unaffordable? According to the pre-1983 CPI calculation method, inflation is nearly TRIPLE what current CPI data says. If you used pre-1983 CPI, inflation peaked at 18% in November 2022 and currently stands at a whopping 8%. Under this method, ho...

Re: LOOKING FOR COMPANY TO GET PIC TIME FOR ATPL

You can get a 705 FO position without an ATPL. I just have an ATPL Frozen. Does your license say 'Airline Transport Pilot' on it, or does it say 'Commercial Pilot' ? You left a bit of gray back there… Assuming a CPL holder also has a valid IATRA then yes the candidate could potentially crew a 705 p...

Re: Flight Training - Criminal Record

You didn’t get charged or convicted? The police may keep a record of detaining you but that won’t show up in a record check.

Unless you’re omitting something… good to go as far as I can see!

Good luck,

Re: "VALID" Group 1 IFR rating ( inlusive of the IPC - instrument proficiency check)

Quick question and direction, finished all my IPC training and next is the “flight test”. Just got hired by an operator flying twins and they’re going to be training me for the PPC on their aircraft (12.500 and under). Should I spend the hundreds on getting the IPC at the school where I finished th...

I’ve a few friends currently at EK and 15 M doesn’t sound too outrageous with compound interest and if a very aggressively well ...

What is your power management technique on the 985 when you’re at your destination? Do you start reducing 3-4 miles out? 2 miles out from the downwind, I start backing off the power slowly… the mix was leaned and carb heat set into the green so slowly start moving the mix knob forward and gradually...

Re: Is Rise Air in need of a new HR manager?

Seems like a typo after a copy paste of a job ad. Not really something to fire an HR manager over, no? Perhaps not although if I was overseeing this person’s position I wouldn’t be impressed. Cut and paste… the definition of lazy. What could be worse? Not proof reading it! Your HR is the front line...
