Worked for a company as an MU2 Pilot and just before I got there a Pilot flying solo was positioning the aircraft to an airport and flew the thing approx 120 feet down the runway on the belly and got it airbourne .... Quite the feat for an MU2 good job keeping a round aircraft off the props and gett...

I had a forced feed back joystick and gave it away but it was great fun running off the end of the runway or crashing on purpose. I bought a saitek yoke and throttle system with extra throttle and rudders for about $400. You can set it up so you have 2 throttle 2 props 2 mixtures. it has several but...

I have had sleep apnea for years .. and use the Super Charger lol ... when I got sleep apnea my wight went from 180 to 296 .... CPAP ... my next size was 21 inches.... I am now hovering 200 and my neck size is 17 inches..... That cpap rocks I can stay up for like 36 hours at a time and drive late at...

I use MS Flight sim X on my desk top with throttles rudder pedals and a yoke. real world plates and maps and the gps rocks !!!! You can buy a higher end lap top from places like Factory direct .... on line ... for really cheap. I just bought a quad core lap top with a high end graphics card for $400...

A few years ago my buddy was an AME on one based in Canada (Southwestern Ontario) and I seem to think that it was flying an N Registration and I think we had the conversation of flying an N Tail # in Canada). The pilots were Canadian. The answer was that the aircraft was not type rated by Canada. I ...

Awesome video to watch over my morning coffee.

Thank you for posting this.

I wish you were my flight instructor when I was learning how to fly. I remember hearing my first instructor yelling Flair Flair Flair as I was watching the runway coming up o hit us ..... thinking to myself .. "what is a flair " Moral of the story ... don't always assume the student knows ... I real...

Interesting all the pioints of view on medivacs .... There is good reading here. I just wanted to add about the waste of Government money here. I think Doc mentioned that. I started doing Medivacs with Bearskin in the mid late 80's and then for a company out of Sault Ste. Marie. There were some trip...

Is that a Cessna ???? looks like a Piper Commanche !!!

Sorry the link above has pics and say its a Beech.

Either way I hope every one is going to be OK.

Fly Safe All.

When I started flying in Ontario in 1979 the Student Pilot Permit was X2#####, Private was YZP 2#####, Commercial was YZC plus the digits and ATPL was YZA plus the digits and now no letters just the digits. The numbers have always stayed the same. My licence was alway 6 numbers, I had a PPC once and...

Thank you very much for sharing such a very personal story. Gives you an appreciation to make all of the Saturdays that you have left to live, Important Memories. Glad you are well and hear to share. To the Colonel .. sir you say some pretty powerful things and there is wisdom in your comments, alth...

I was looking into renting at the Woodstock Flying Club they show a Piper J3 Cub and my buddy rents in Burlington and he said that they have a Piper Cub as well.

I hope this helps.

Fly Safe All

I am pretty sure that I saw a dvd training video when I was in Sportys Pilot shops web site. I know that Microsoft Flight Sim X has some aircraft in there that have the Garmin 1000 in them and you acutually fly them in the simulator right on your computer.

Hope this helps. Fly Safe

Colonel ... I watched that video and it was GREAT ... thank you for sharing that. Some of the best flying I ever did was in my buddies Champ ... in the summer, after supper watching the sun set over Lake Superior, with the door up or off. MU 2 and Citation and yet the Champ wins every time. That was...

Below is a part of an email ... I kept in my email inbox since 2008. This is Nasty Stuff and please read it and do your own research ... but the public has the right to know ~~~ Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that ...

I just posted a link on my Facebook Page about this stuff. It is appearently nasty stuff. It turns poisonous at 86 degress F, and your average body temp is 98. But I saw something on the news about it the other day and they said that "It is widely known in the aviation industry among pilots NOT TO D...

I saw Bob Hoover at Oshkosh in the late 70's fly the Shrike Commander.

WOW .... the man was an airplanes best friend.

Just an insight to down the road a few years. Alot of people who start in the right seat and stay in the right seat have trouble with the 25 hours ( I think thats the number) of PIC NIGHT CROSS COUNTRY to meet the requirements for the ATPL. 500 or 600 hours of PIC is much better looking than very li...

All great info for from the above posters. here is an FYI I renewed my Multi IFR in Nov 2011. I started at Perimeter but had to finish in Kitchener due to time constraints with my time off from work. I had lef my Multi IFR lapse for 15 years. I asked about a PStar because i did not meet the 5 year c...

CLAIM IT .... Claim everything you can claim.

Rev Canada will let you know what you can not claim.
Put it in. You have nothing to loose except YOUR MONEY.

Just a thought

another point to add is that you can continue to use this infomation... you can click on update every three months or so and you will have updated info. I still refer to mine two years after I purchased it. Your books are out of date the minute you get them.

I mentioned this software before ... you can get it at www.canadapilot.com I purchased it for the desktop/laptop and I thought it was the best money I ever spent on Study Material. Glad to hear someone else liked it as much as I did. Congrats on the pass. Someone in here asked me if I was getting a ...

You can turn your home computer into a simulator with something like Flight SimX and get a flight control yoke, throttles and a ruddder peddle set for added realism. You can use real world IFR Charts and Approach Plates. But you can NOT log the time. But you can get some great training and added ATC...
