Very unfortunate news.

Everyone will have different experiences I am sure, but I have found Wade very reasonable over the years. One great advantage with getting your training done in YMM is that the 'training areas' are right outside the control zone. I would have no problem recommending Wade's operation to anyone lookin...

Another thing to consider is where you plan to hangar or tie down your plane. YMM isn't really GA friendly; it's pretty tough to find a spot to leave your plane.

If that doesn't concern you, I have a great 206 outfitted really nicely!

Saw this the other day on the Cessna.org forum... Gotta love the t-shirt on the last photo!

Thanks TG. Sorry, shouldnt have snapped at you.

That's what I love about this site. Always a critic... no matter the topic.

Yikes: RIO VISTA, Calif. - A small plane and a helicopter have clipped each other over Northern California, leaving two pilots with minor injuries, authorities said. The six-seat Beechcraft Bonanza crashed Sunday just short of an airport, while the two-seat Robinson R22 helicopter landed in a field ...

Thanks. Someday maybe we will be able to use all the great hardware in Canada like they are designed to be used...

Does anyone have any experience with the Garmin 796? They mention that the unit comes pre-loaded with geo referenced VFR sectionals. Do they come preloaded with Canadian content though. I've looked at Foreflight, but they still do not have the ability to do VFR sectionals as they blame Nav Canada fo...

32.5ft deep x 48ft wide. Fits my C206 and a vehicle easily.

Hi all, I am looking at renting or leasing out my unused hangar in Vernon BC. I purchased it a couple of years ago with plans to retire there, but that seems to be a bit further out than planned. So for now, it sits empty. Does anyone on here have any experience on what the 'going-rate' is for renti...

First time posting pics on here... hope it works.

It's nicer than the 206 that you don't own

Thanks guys. They sure don't make CARS easy to read...

Hi all, Just reading up on CARS (404.4) since my medical is coming up for renewal. My renewal examination is within a day or two of the anniversary of my last medical. Scheduling one where I live doesn't give me many options on dates, so we live with what we get, and work doesn't allow me to travel ...

Since we are talking about recommended routes...

Any advice on routes to Vernon from Northern Alberta (Fort McMurray?)

Then do more spins. If I owned an aircraft that could spin (can only get 1/4 turn out of my Clipper and that takes work) I would spin it every flight that it was inside the utility cat W&B. You must be the exception to the folks I fly with, including my previous instructors. None of them got excite...

That's the one. Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know the name of the interior shop in Calgary? Someone mentioned the name the other day and I'll be damned if I can remember it now. The guy's name was Carson? Not Carson Air...

Sounds like you are starting to enjoy flying again. That's great! As everyone has said; it's pretty normal what you are feeling. I can actually remember the exact flight that I turned the corner and actually enjoyed it as a student, which was not that long ago and won't be long for you either. For m...

Hedley, great to see some information applicable to us private pilots. Appreciate the advice.

Anyone know of any reasonable interior shops in Alberta or BC?

Looking at sprucing up a Cessna P206...

5x5, I think you missed my point... and ya, maybe I exaggerated the surface a bit... Hey it's a story, it's meant to be interesting (the fish was this BIG, really...). There really was a forestry dude sleeping in his truck though! But, my point was that he did a great job teaching me that an a/c can...

Good point Hadley. Most of us are all now taught that airplanes can only land on asphalt or concrete. I was fortunate enough to have an instructor for part of my training that thought outside of the box on some lessons, namely the precautionary landing. Unfortunately for him it didn't win him much f...

cdnpilot, my apolgies for jumping on you. Just trying to figure out a flight that was a real drag.

Meatloaf, I know it's likely a dumb question, but how do you know so quick it's not a dead mag?
