Went last year, this year --- chalk me up to the low $$. (and the fact I had to pay for last year by taking the wife on a cruise last month)

....... hard work, low pay, challenging hours and lots of time away from home......

Pretty much sums up Sex to me....

Also, don't get caught paying more to learn something, or learn in something you "MAY" be flying in. Learn in the most effective manner, both practically and cost, in the appropriate machine for what you are learning at that time and then train in what you will be flying once you actually know what ...

Fly the 152. It's cheaper, more fun and spins far better than the 172. I did all my PPL on a 152, then transitioned to a 172 when I had a licence and wanted to take people up with me. Only reason to train in a 172 is if you are too heavy for you and your instructor to put meaningful fuel in. I was l...

Go fot it!

+1 For DCs - bullet proof.

I have a set for each family member - I highly recommend searching EBay for what you require. With some patience, I paid no more than 50% of retail, for product that has worked to spec (just a few cosmetic scratches). Even got an ANR version for < $300.

BTW - You can do the Farnsworth D-15 at your local optometrist, get him to send in a report and that is acceptable. No need to go through Transport (if you don't want to). Me - Cannot see anything on the Ishihara (even the plates that only colour blind people can see) - Have aced the D-15 several ti...

Tried to post this yesterday, but somehow it got lost... As VFR Pilot, flying into an ATF airfield, how am I supposed to know there is IFR traffic around? Take CZBA for example, as I had an interesting encounter with a King Air there a couple of years ago. 1) Consulting the CFS, there is nothing on ...

My view is, if you're burdening other pilots by being NORDO in an airspace that has frequent IFR traffic it's on you to make sure you're eyes outside. All the time. And making course adjustments as needed. The IFR traffic has no idea you're even there unless he sees you. And we all know how hard it...

TSB website reports it as a Cessna 182. Richmond Hill, Ontario, 10 November 2015 - The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is deploying a team of investigators to the site of an accident involving a Cessna 182 near the Parry Sound airport, Ontario. The TSB will gather information and assess ...

How does an employer even find out how you did groundschool? TC has my PTR, the info in it does not appear online anywhere, or on any of my documents. Don't overthink this, just learn the best way you can and get your license. That is something the do require, and can verify!

Flying upside down, you got it co-joe. If I've understood the gist of the 2 threads on this topic: If you're a Pilot flying an airplane with your hands and feet, have them on the pedals where they belong. If you're one of those "pilots" whose airplane is taking you along for a ride, have your heels...

Me - was picking up in-laws at Pearson. Was late, running very low on gas. Decided to fill up after I picked them up. met them, put them in car, drove out of airport into gas station directly over the street. Filled up, paid, and as I was pulling out onto Airport Road noticed the lights were out. Sp...

Perhaps he landed, could not retract the flaps, therefore took off again to perform the 'stuck flaps' checklist?

+1 to what HiFlyChick wrote - added advantage is often the answer to a question is given in a later question - or at least a big hint towards the answer. Helps a lot.

I post on here, but mainly read as I have learned and continue to learn much about aviation from people I would otherwise have not had an opportunity to converse with. I also post/read the other new forum for the same reasons. On both forums, I believe I am able to filter out the dross and still get...

Do the practice exams, study your weak areas and repeat. I also used the PPL exam answer guide, gave me another 1000 or so practice questions, and a full practice exam. Got my recommend, then realised that it was only valid for a limited time. Wrote exam, before I felt I was ready, got 98% - dropped...

I'll be there from 19th - 26th, driving in hauling our popup trailer. Will be somewhere in Camp Scholler

Good point - the actual statement in the reference I used was "no tendency to rotate" - ie you have to force it to.

Google . This whole discussion comes down to basic definitions. For a body to be in equilibrium, 2 conditions needs to be satisfied: 1) The vector sum of all forces acting on the body must zero 2) The sum of all torques acting on the body, with respect to any axis, must be zero. 1 says there is no a...

Reminds me of a unit test I set for my Cadets, which for fun I set every answer to 'B'. amazing how uncomfortable it made them feel - and how many right answers were changed because they could not believe another B answer. Fun with Patterns.

Nav Canada released this VFR Communication guide a few days ago

Congrats! I was in a similar situation, took a while to get cleared to solo, but still remember that flight as if it was yesterday. also reminds me somewhat of my Daughter's solo late summer - where she completed it then for some reason pulled the mixture on the taxiway.....
