sorry to offend the two of you below, perhaps what I was trying to say was mis-interpreted. When FSS frequencys are congested, two minutes of frequency congestion because of a 1 minute ETA change on a VFR flight plan is unnecessary. And yes, I realize that FSS starts SAR from the last known point of...

From what a military recruiter has told me, CURRENTLY you need a university degree to be accepted. This was changed really recently, as a few years ago, you needed nothing but to pass the selection process. That was when they were really short pilots...apparently they are not scrounging for pilots l...

There were some news releases regarding Toronto City Centre airport, as well as a temporary base last summer in Muskoka airport. I believe that the somewhat "official" line of southern ontario lies between Toronto and Barrie.

lin_pilot, must be a soo student or grad(That is not meant as an attack on you), You can definetly land a job with what confed gives you in floats, trust me on that(I dont know how it is now with the economic downturn but a few years ago I've known people in my class to have a float gig a few month...

a float rating, but still not the 50 hours that most company's want for insurance.

I thought I may have heard something about Mr. Sikorsky flying right-seat and it could have went from there?

I'm not sure if I misunderstood, did you apply to centennial for flight training and AME or only AME? If you applied to centennial for flight training, you have indicated that you are willing to pay for the flight training. Why not go to school for AME and pay for the training on the side from the l...

thks zlin... I believe the one you got is the last one to be sent. There will not be a new one in April 2009 (at least that's what the flyer said in the latest safety letter .. Thats unfortunate. Paper copies are the way to go! I hope I'll still be able to get the Cat1 medical after staring at the ...

Also try this link. I am not sure what issue they are selling here as it says 2008-2. I would call before ordering.

... just one problem...the "current AIM" is an online thing only now, you cant get it as a book anymore. This really sucks on the part of TC ... You cant even buy one! Like many I still have my old AIP all up-to-date to the last mailed amendment. So who the heck is going to print the AIM from back ...

Avg. 125/hr for the plane alone x 200 hrs MINIMUM is 25 000

of the 200 hours say 100 is dual x 45/hr is 4500

plus books and ground school.

I would say you are looking close to 30k.

Your Financial Aid office should also be able to help.

Sorry for the earlier comment, here are a couple sites that may work. In some cases just applying for some of the scholarships will get you them as nobody else may have applied.

and I believe the other site is

Good Luck

MikeSexr, My marks were rather high with all university courses, however, I have many friends who were in the same position, if not worse than you, and they were accepted and the majority made it through first semester. It all has to do with attitude and hard work at the Sault. It also has to do wit...

I am confused as to the point you are trying to make? Take today for example. I logged 2.7 dual and 1.0 solo in an aerobatic single engine aircraft. 2.7 x 150 (aerobatic plane average rate???) = $405 1.0 x 150 = $150 2.7 x 50 (instructor rate average?) = $135 x 13% taxes = $89. 70 Total = $779.70 My...

Please do explain how you manage to swing that kind of sweet deal. It's called government subsidization lol. I go to Sault College. I pay normal tuition for the college diploma, and then get all of the flight training free. I could have gotten all of it for free, however I managed to get my PPL bef...

I would approximate that 60% of career oriented student pilots do not attend or get accepted to a college. It's aslo a well known fact that only a portion of those that do get accepted will actually complete the program. Some of the college programs have notably high attrition rates. It's not unhea...

10k PPL, everything else FREE!! Courtesy of the Ontario Government. Could have all been free.

thanks for helping to translate my comments. i'm sure the zlin is a nice aircraft but fleet reliability and safety record are way more important than type IMHO. i would choose confed over the sault if confeds fleet was just as safe and reliable and i went to the sault. i have no idea what the safet...

Hello, I am currently enrolled in the Sault College program, and I know that they accept out of province students. More specific to your case, there was a person from Quebec who just graduated here last year. I know she was from the Montreal area. I am not sure what she did for the high-school porti...

sorry my mistake

no need to clarify for me, I am already in year two of the program lol!

Hello again, The Sault does not have a "person" requirement, as in there is no set number of people that do not make it through. It is entirely based on your own marks. And first semester math is very simple, and more a review of high school math. There are plenty of students in my year who had belo...

Yes for sure, where about are you working now?

Hey there, I am currently in the Sault Program and loving it. The Zlin242 is a wonderful machine and a great trainer. I would highly recommend choosing one of the government subsidized programs (Seneca, Sault, Confed). Total tuition for the three years in the Sault will be approximately 16 000, and ...
