If the 500 hour inspection was done according to the manual by a reputable shop, the mags were run up to operating RPM.

What kind of mags?

So no need for multiple pax, ratings or flying in the US. This says RPP. The bonus is needing only a class 4 medical. If he wants/needs the PPL at a later date, it will be a cheap upgrade with you teaching him for free.

What mags? Bosch, Bendix?

So you want to get a LSTC because you don't want to do the extra work of a certified covering system, but you still plan on remaking (not rebuilding) over half your airplane in the next few years? Something doesn't sound right with that. TC has effectively put the kibosh on converting certified to e...

Hey Guys! im back! recently got a job with Jazz at a component shop. and i'm shopping for tools right now. what do you think of this? -->http://www.sears.ca/product/craftsman-md-51-piece-universal-max-axess-socket-set/609-000383034-45309?recs=igodigital need you advice and suggestions! thanks!!! No...

I bet he pleads guilty at his first opportunity and gets a fine and suspension. As pointed out a TC record is forever, the criminal record (if any results) can be pardoned after a period of time. Sounds like you are assuming he wants to be a pilot as a career. A TC record has no effect on him renti...

One of the reasons there is no STC, is that since the scaremongers have tanked the value of the aircraft, nobody wants to pay for an OH, much less a complete FWF. We've been sitting on a 0 TSOH io346 for years because the customer pulled a Houdini and nobody else wants it.

I personally prefer the slick mags because they are so user friendly in terms of internal and engine timing. THe bendix ones can be a bit tricky with the scale and such. At least with the scale you can set a Bendix to less then .5°. Using the Slick tool you'd be lucky to get it within 2-3° internal...

I would appreciate any comments on what can I expect would be most probably need to be done , (what wears out for sure, ) or minimally and max typical cost on slick 500 hour magneto inspection. Slick parts are stupidly expensive. Champion does that to force you to buy a new one from them vs. paying...

I'll be sure to let my coworker know that the family was wrong and he didn't lose a friend. Thanks for your help!!!

Husband and wife in a Beech 18. A coworker got the news today. I don't feel right about giving second hand specifics but I'm pretty sure the pilot's initials are DB.

If you haven't done anything aircraft related during that time, it will be a little tougher. The bigger problem is that the market is completely over-saturated with apprentices. There's at least 50 locals and 300 Canada wide applying for every job. I think Stevenson is putting out over 70 new appren...

Remember, when you're standing on a float reaching way into the cowling, $$$$$nap-on and Ma$tercraft make the exact same sound when they hit the water.

Are there any additives that may help. CYOO only offers 100LL and Jet A1. Any other alternatives? I could always siphon from my car!! Some have had success adding Alcor TCP to 100LL. You could also try a 50/50 mix of 100LL and mogas. For a 150 this is as simple as bringing a couple of jerry cans wi...

Hey FlyGy, I know they are not live, wasn't born yesterday Thought they were a bit more recent. Almost a year to go from filming to Production. It has to be at least a year. Episode three, which aired Nov 21st, was showing a crew filming an Arctic Air episode which had already aired February 14th. ...

Interesting... CYBR doesn't exist but almost every farmer's strip does.

The funny thing is, I am really good with computers (Right now I hold a Comptia A+ Computer Technician Certification, and a CCNA for networking) I did this all in grade 10 of highschool... You and a million other high school graduates. I was in IT for over 20 years, mainly servers, networks and pro...

By the time you add an extra flight test, pre-flight test evaluation, the extra time to get back in the groove of learning, going over things you've already been taught, it works out to be about $1k more.

Show me a checklist from a school that says what the idle speed is supposed to be and the tolerance allowed.

My question is simply stated above. What is with this forum?? You have to look at the occupation. Fairly low paying for the required credentials, usually bad hours, unstable employment, the list goes on. Veterans remember the good old days and the young ones have been sold a high tech big $$$ caree...

I'd say it would be very difficult. They are basically signing away their careers if something goes wrong. They'd really have to know you well and be confident of your work. I've seen people who at first looked like natural mechanics turn out to be complete morons. Only a history with someone can gi...

If you can find an AME who is willing to sign off your work, no problem. There is also a list of elementary maintenance tasks that do not require an AME sign off, such as oil changes, tire swaps, etc.. If you don't mind your plane being restricted to Canada only, look into the Owner-Maintenance cate...

After you complete your remote training, where will you be working to complete your four year full-time apprenticeship before being eligible to get your license? You don't get a license from a school, you get it from Transport Canada after an apprenticeship and completing an exam (or exams depending...

My personal verdict is that at Harvs, I was a customer. At Winnipeg, I was a student. Well said. Harv's seems flashy, fast paced and impersonal. WA feels like you're learning from a friend. Both schools are good (well, with the exception of harv's at air cadets time). It all depends on your persona...
