My prayers go out to Lockhart

Great group of people

Check your PM's LegoMan

Since you have already looked at a school in London (Aero) I would highly recommend Empire Aviation

I agree with C-HRIS...check out Empire Aviation, top notch school.

I would also suggest Toronto Airways, they pay well and you will do lots of flying.

As far as which schools will be effected by the new legislation....they all are if they are going to offer vocational training (commercial & instructor ratings)

They will need to be registered by Sept 18th of this year.

I attended the information seminar on the PCCA (Private career colleges act) I myself work in the management department of a small school, and this new law affects all flights schools in Ontario that offer the CPL and instructor ratings. It's going to mean hard times ahead for some of our operations.

Unfoutunatley Pete....the law has already been passed. All flight schools that teach vocational training (CPL, instructor ratings) regardless of size have until Sept 18/07 to register.

I love the quote feature Doc!!

and I've noticed you love to make posts that have nothing to do with the thread

Well.......... Once again These guys are trying to take another Job away from me. This government has already cost me one Job and now they are working hardto make sure I dont have a job at all. The sad thing is that the school I work at now NOT one of us will be able to teach commercial students. I...

No this new legislation covers all flight training units.

The Ontario Gov, with no resistance from Transport Canada, is proceeding with its policy of including Flight Training Units in its Private Career College act. BC already has something similar in place. In Ontario it means that even though an FTU is Federally regulated and mandated (things such as e...

Spectrum Airways in Burlington has been looking for instructors. You might want to try there.

It's always sad to read things like that.

It's pretty scary too to see that security is relaxed enough that someone would be able to crawl in there without anyone noticing

Something you have to keep in mind as well is the weather. If you only book on the weekends you could have 2 weekends in a row where the weather is not suitable for flight training. Would your job schedule allow you do some flight training in the evenings (once the days are longer of course during t...

Take a tour through some of the other threads (in the Flight Training forum in particular)

It will give you a very good idea about what to expect.

It's alot to think about that's for sure. It's important you understand though that a flying career will not get you into a good paycheck for a long while. After you complete your commercial, multi/IFR and instructor (should you choose that route) you will be pulling in paychecks WELL UNDER 30,000/y...

The next big question is how many of us actually mananged to pick up here, I know I've picked up twice here and both where not fat and ugly. Working on the 3rd chick as we speak! Sorry to inform you slugger, but I am from sioux lookout and if you think those women you picked up where not ugly nor f...

Oh good old Pik!

I spent too many hours sitting on that ramp waiting for passengers.

Congratulations Petite!

The instructor rating will average $5000-$8000

Hamilton has 2 class I's to teach instructor ratings.

Peninsulair in Hamilton has a seminole and a PE on staff.

miss mae, interesting. if u wouldnt mind, how would you define "good instructor" for the instructor rating? We all have different personalities. Just because an instructor is a class one doesn't mean that they are a good instructor for everyone. My instructor was perfect for me and I still keep in ...

I started mine in April 2000 and finished in August of the same year. I had a part time job at the time but was lucky enough to find a good instructor who was willing to work around my schedule.

Best of luck with your groundschool, the only tips I have for you is to take notes and pay attention.

If you are looking to train on the DA20 I highly recommend Empire Aviation in London.
