So exciting to see someone not only pass their test, but cross something off their bucket list at the same time.

SkyVector uses FAA charts, not Nav Canada as of yet. Still a great site though. If only we could do planning on that tool similar to ForeFlight

Has hell frozen over? Nav Canada is working with ForeFlight to bring Canadian VNC and VTA charts into ForeFlight!

my advice... Get a good instructor Now you tell me. Where were you in the early 1970's? Not even thought of sir... :-) Born in 1983. Wish I would have had the opportunity and funds to start early.

Flying is just a hobby for myself, and always will be... I have been extremely fortunate in another career (IT) that starting over isn't an option, nor would I want it to be... I completed all of my flight training in Windsor, Ontario and received my PPL out of the efforts. I was rather slow at gett...

No worries, we were all green once. Just so I'm clear you don't touch down in a crab, you only crab until the flare then straighten it out with rudder and hold the center line with aileron - you still touchdown with the upwind wheel first. It takes practice, and you really need a good feel of how t...

I start doing crosswind corrections as soon as I'm established on final, rather than crabbing and doing it short final... I find things always work out much better this way. Snowy, if your planning on moving to anything with passengers on it learn to crab, it's a superior technique. Not only is it ...

Move to Chatham, and we'll buy a 172... You've got yourself a deal.

Give this a shot, it will allow you to run Windows based applications within OSX.
