RCAF Formation team Bald Eagles

Reaching out to the internet for a little help with a few photos. I know the date is between 1959-1960, and that the formation team is the Bald Eagles. What I am trying to find, if at all possible, is the crew names. I'm hoping someone out there has some information to shine a light on this for me. ...

Re: A&P to AME

My understanding is that having your A&P will not help you for your AME license. You will be required to start from ground zero.

Re: TCCA M1/M2 to EASA conversion

I recently wrote my module 2 (physics) exam in Orlando Florida. This is (as far as I've found) the only other location in North America, other than Montreal, to write the EASA part 66 exams. Orlando exams are CAA (UK) affiliated. They DO NOT provide any study material. I did re-enroll for the club66...

Re: I have my M1, What are my options to get my M2 license.

Probably a good question to ask your PMI or your local TC office inspector. LOL The answer may vary from region to region, and even inspector-to-inspector. From my past experience with TC, get your answer IN WRITING.

Was there any requirement to have a "need" for your A&P? I have heard rumour in the past that the FAA wont issue an A&P with out endorsement from an american company.

Re: AME M1 License holder Apprenticeship time to obtain AME M2

Swede, a little confused by your statement that you were able to sign your own log book. If you were able to sign a maintenance release, why would you even be required to have a log book signed off? According to CAR's M1 OR M2 license includes all turbine helicopters. For sure. As a M1 engineer wit...

+1 to this. That should actually be the first thing you do. What TCCA will require varies from region to region and even office to office, so ask questions directly to the person / office who will be reviewing your application. Advice here on Avcanada may send you on a wild goose chase. :smt117 Inc...

Re: AME M1 License holder Apprenticeship time to obtain AME M2

I just went through this myself this year. -Yes, you will need 70% of APPLICABLE tasks signed off. This is determined by a letter from your current PRM as to which aircraft types you are working on. So be careful as to which ATA blocks you start signing off into. It is better to have zero tasks sign...

I have to disagree on this one . For the most part , a CPL does not make you or your aircraft any safer than me or my aircraft. And I have to disagree on this one. While a commercial pilots licence doesn't provide any degree of safety, a commercial registered aircraft does. Commercial Aircraft are ...

Re: Avionic training on line acceptable to TC

The only way to have "E" privileges with an "M" license is to have an M1/M2 combined and depending on your inspector this isn't an easy process. Yes, this grants you Avionics(E) and Structures(S) privileges, if approved by your AMO. It is up to the individual AMO to grant these rights. I can't see m...
