Yes you are missing something. If you took a minute to read the threads above you would notice the mention of fuel tax......It disappeared. The government guys, snorkle, snorkle, chuckle chuckle, took the tax money and ran. Then came up with this great user pay thing...and boneheads like you bought...

Yes you can do trips to florida and such, but as soon as you start planning to do one you'll realize very quickly it's much safer/cheaper/quicker to go commercially. I don't want to stomp on your idea of doing those trips, because a number of pilots do make these kind of trips, but it'd be a 4-12 ho...

Jaques Strappe's review was very good, i've got about 100 hours on a mirage and they were great for flying south. Buttonville to florida no problem. One thing i didn't like however but you get this with most singles (or twins as well) is that you couldn't fill the seats and get much fuel in either. ...

The instructor did not fly in actual IMC, so he cannot log actual instrument time. Clear as mud? Don't confuse "instrument - actual" with IFR. IFR is a a set of rules, which you can operate under in VMC conditions. You only log "instrument - actual" when the aircraft is in IMC wx conditions, which ...

correct me if i'm wrong but... Lets say you're going on a x-country flight with your student for hood time. you plan to fly from toronto to london, to hamilton back to toronto (2hrs lets say of hood flying for your student and a few approaches). now you file IFR to do this flight. Since you are pilo...

you're gonna have to work your arse off now more then anything, because come oct/nov/dec you're going to get a lot of weather cancellations which have to be taken into account. you'll probably get 75% less flights in those months as you would during the months between now and october. best thing i c...

Nail, meet hammer.

okay, yeah, that just made me laugh out loud at work... not good

The WWFC is a awesome facility, with top notch instructors and aircraft! Alright, now for an impartial oppinion. 25 year old cessna's with one radio and an ADF does NOT constitude "top notch aircraft" For the rest of you plugging the conestoga college course, realize his intentions are to send his ...

I took the aerocourse just over a year ago and all i can say is that it was great. However... don't go in there without a fairly good understanding of the material. The course is not designed to take you from not knowing anything about IFR to being a pro. The course goes very fast and you'll get los...

That's exactly why I chose History - well mentioned it - because I love it. If it's something you love, why not choose that as your career? I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here, but if it's something you enjoy and think you'll do well at, why not follow that path? If you do well at it.. fly for en...

I totally agreed with all of those people who say "why on earth would you pay every month"... and then a family member bought me this god forsaken game... it's soooooo adicting.

Wow, i was pretty surprised to find this in the dictionary... BUT air pocket n. A downward air current that causes an aircraft to lose altitude abruptly. Also called air hole. air pocket n : a local region of low pressure or descending air that causes a plane to lose height suddenly [syn: pocket, ai...

good god that's crap.

people having pride in their country is one thing... that my friends is insane.



could you imagine a version of that for canada? just think of it, hockey players, and curlers standing togeather as one... in clouds.

Q - What's the last thing that goes through a birds mind when hitting an aircraft?



A - It's ass

I read through this thread, and I see a lot of good posts, however there are some sentiments, which are missed, or frowned upon. I do feel bad for whoever gets tossed aside so someone else can get hired, but there are factors that people don’t' consider. Employers MUST hire minorities in Canada, tha...

i'll second that

It's probably impossible to determine the altitude of the Jet. You could do it fairly easily if you can find the shadow. I couldn't, though. you're on crack. fairly easy? not only would you need to find the shadow, you'd then need to know exactly where the sun was when the picture was taken in rela...

how many of your flight schools credit students when you have to cancel on them? i'm gonna go out on a limb and say ZERO. As a student, i've had my aircraft taken from me at the last minute because someone else needed it dual. Now from a business perspective, yes you're making more money by getting ...

I'm pretty sure the only statistics TC keeps on licensing is issued on this website: http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/general/personnel/stats/stats005.htm But breaking it down to licensed pilots who are teens... wow that'll take some math.. better get started. around 50,000 pilots in canada. 9353 o...

I really don't know if this is a discussion on whether you should log time reading as much as it is... "are you an idiot while flying?" If you're flying on autopilot and you're reviewing your cfs, poh or cap/cap gen preparing for an approach or just getting info on your next arrival point then yes y...

Why would you leave them in your car? Cars get broken into, stolen etc. What would you suggest, putting them in a safety deposit box guarded by dogs and motion sensored machineguns? Seriously man, he didn't leave it ontop of his car... he put it IN his car, and locked them in, what more can you exp...

Don't forget the rest of the requirements:

3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves, &
1 Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Oh man that was good.

It was always between belfast and quebec, good to see it's staying in the country though. Mirabel already has the infrastructure to support a project like that which is good, because that airport really isn't getting the traffic in there it should.[/i]

Probably a good thing the second a/c was a copter, able to avoid the beech that quickly. Man i can imagine they all had a good laugh after that one "Damn that beech almost hit me" "If i wanted a beech in the way, i'd have brought my wife along" on a side note, ever wonder why they call a close call ...

I heard about this on the radio this morning... 10-15cm today.. 10-15cm tomorrow and like 30 on wed, and how the roads are going to be horrible, and people are going to be crashing and dying. All i can think is.. B.S. Yes it's gonna snow, but the media is most likely blowing this thing outta proport...
