And if memory serves me, I recall the IO-520 with a newer style starter adapter also prohibiting turning the engine in reverse because of the spring on the starter drive catching and causing damage or even itself breaking.

I timed out Sept 2014. Called in a few times to be told that no courses were planned for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Good morning!

Did you see this thread linked at the top of the forum? It'll take you to some great threads.

Happened to me and two other people I know, all in Vancouver. We're going through the second time now Vancouver is probably the least short staffed and most in demand posting for a transfer so not surprising that the pool is more "stagnant" Figured as much. Made me wonder, though, why they pushed u...

Happened to me and two other people I know, all in Vancouver. We're going through the second time now

Hang tight, it'll come. Times vary. When I was first issued the booklet, it took 7 weeks to arrive. When I renewed it last year, it was at my door within 5 business days of dropping off my paperwork at the office. I didn't even pay for expedited processing! I did shell out a couple dollars for a tem...

What happened in Vancouver today? All I got from tower was some sort of water leak in Surrey

This is the NOTAM, I pulled it off https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/ Apparently the A87 airway was in the flight's flight plan. But: 1. The flight never reached it; and 2. The last known altitude was FL330 - above the FL320 closure. V6158/14 NOTAMN Q) URRV/QARLC/IV/NBO/E/000/530/4818N04023E095 ...

Curious: IFR, VFR, or FSS?

How's everyone faring in the process now?

I'm still waiting for a training offer. I jump whenever I see an unfamiliar area code on my phone only to be disappointed that I won a cruise to the Caribbean.

I have two DCs for sale One is several years old but has new gel seals, headpad, and mic protector. Second one is much newer and didn't need new parts. Both function like new. Asking $200 each or $350 for both. I am located in Vancouver. Shipping, if required, is at the buyer's expense. PM please.

Congratulations! Good luck up north

Try sending an e-mail to atscareers@navcanada.ca and asking when the next Vancouver assessment is scheduled for. Or, post on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/takecharge.navcanada

I don't think there really is a "usual time" between phases. Some people have had to wait only a few weeks between the assessment and the telephone interview; others have had to wait months. I have been told that, sometimes, people are advanced to the next phase if their candidacy (18 months) is abo...

Congratulations!

Thanks!

Which stream were you placed in?

Got the green light for FSS!

My first interview came almost immediately after passing the assessment session.

The call for the second interview came about two months later.

I suspect it varies based on what FIR you're in, who's in the pool, and the anticipated need for courses to be filled.

Ditto, 8 month wait for me.

Shame. I was under the impression that there is the possibility of "upgrading" from FSS to VFR or VFR to IFR -- or even backwards. Are you going to be reapplying to try to get another stream?

I got to the last question (30?) but the timer ran out before I could move my pointer to "submit". So 29 for me with probably a couple wrong.

I'm getting my CPL/Multi-IFR for my career and not for pleasure?

Working on the CPL alone should be sufficient proof by its nature.

Yes, will be there! I applied January 20th, which was only a couple weeks after the last assessment. Been a bit of a wait, but it was entirely expected. Good luck! Is there an AM and PM test? I only know about the test in the morning... Morning for me too, perhaps there's only one? Ah, I can't comp...

Received and accepted an invitation to a testing session in YVR on Nov 14th, nearly 6 months after my online application.

Anyone else?
