RE: Solo v. PIC, from CAR 400.01(1): "solo flight time" means, with respect to the flight time necessary to acquire a permit, licence or rating, (a) in the case of a pilot, the flight time during which the pilot is the sole flight crew member , and (b) in the case of a student pilot permit holder, t...

I wouldn't make you redo the whole course. In the past all I have asked of people in your position is to go through a few ground lessons, (I don't think that I've ever taken more than five hours for this), and a few flights. The idea is to knock the rust off and send you on your way. Where are you ...

all parachuting ops in Canada are completely illegal Ok, I'll bite Remember, a 17 yr old figured this out. So can you. Hint: would it be legal for a jump plane to take off and climb up, then dive and buzz someone standing in the middle of a field? Why not? Ah... 602.14 (b) in circumstances other th...

In regard to 1), there are operations out there were 2 pilots are required even though the aircraft type certificate specifies that the aircraft is certified as single pilot. And for that time to be loggable toward a license or recency requirements, there needs to be a COM (issued under Part 7 or 6...

When the student is flying solo - as regulations require him to do - he is indisputably PIC of the aircraft and logs it as such. True. But your original comment about regaining night recency was for dual flying, this statement refers to solo flight. The pilot receiving dual instruction toward a Nig...

Hey Posthumane. A couple of years ago, NavCanada granted me a non-royalty permission to use their copyrighted materials, including reproduction for resale for profit. The permission, however, had strings attached. From one of the emails: "NAV CANADA is providing permission to reproduce various Aeron...

Entity A is the owner of the aircraft. A pilot wants to fly that aircraft, he knows he needs insurance, so he gets some, from COPA or Park or another broker. It's perfectly valid insurance in case of an incident, or accident - there will be coverage. But, he's breaking the law. No he isn't. The ass...

...how do people hiring pilots respond to the fact that you have a degree? With a few exceptions, they don't. Most of the exceptions are at the major airline level. The purpose of a degree is personal achievement, personal interest, and loss-of-medical backup. If these three points don't hold any v...

Hey Cops. Welcome to AvCanada. With regard to your writing of a "novel" (your word), there's nothing at all wrong with long posts. But I would recommend splitting them up into paragraphs. That makes them a helluvalot easier to read :) . As for your actual question, My plan would be to take training ...

Not to mention profitable.

Straightforward, logical. profitable: all very good. But is it accessible?

How do you get to have a sitdown with an underwriter? I would imagine that the brokers aren't much use for this.

Av_Av I agree with what you say, though the license number would be kept confidential to all but the admins as part of the vetting process. I still think that just providing it and using it to simply prove that yes they do have a valid license with TC is good enough. Good point, but the vetting pro...

I John Q. Instructor Lic number 711111 release all of my flight test and written tests results up to Todays Date to be sent to Bob Site Administrator Lic number 711112. Yours Truly John Q.

How about establishing a Canadian chapter of SAFE ? That way you could leverage the organizational structure of the Americans and many of their resources are aplicable to Canadian flight training. That's a good point. But I have to admit that I'm only slightly familiar with both NAFI and SAFE. I kn...

I was referring to the freelance instructor travelling with his own aircraft to an airport somewhere where the student has his airplane parked. Ah. This makes more sense. As gaamin says, this would be a negotiated point. Personally, I don't have an airplane, so I can only teach those I can drive to...

My question is simple. How about someone like me who does not hold a Canadian instructors rating and can not get one. Would I be able to teach in the association you guys are talking about? Cat, We're just brainstorming here, so it's tough to give a concrete answer. However, I'm inclined to think t...

As an offshoot/extension of the " Freelance instruction hookup website?

What I'm thinking is something along the lines of NAFI or SAFE in t...

Assumably most of the instructors involved in this venture would own and operate their own aircraft. Not likely. CAR's forbids freelance instructors from supplying the aircraft (unless they're training their own family member): Requirement to Hold a Flight Training Unit Operator Certificate 406.03 ...

Why would someone looking for a PPL instructor go for a $70/hr guy instead of a $50/hr guy? Even if the higher rate instructor is more experienced, many students would find it hard to justify the extra cost when the perceived benefit would be small. That's a good point. It's difficult to quantify "...

Interesting, military guys have an 18 hour duty day with max 14 hour flying. Although that's an interesting point, let's look at why it's a completely invalid comparison: 1) Military pilots are paid better, 2) Military pilots are not up to their eyeballs in debt paying for their flight training, 3)...
