Well here's a good one, it's been a few months since I've last flown and I've lost my ADB. :oops: It expires in about 10 months, so I figure why not just renew it now if I can? So does anyone one when the earliest I can send in a renewal application? And will I get the new ADB a few weeks down the r...

Sorry with my choice of wording. It does have "some" authority during the initial stages of the roll, but it doesn't come on very linear. Hence I said ease it forward as the airspeed is picking up. Obviously full back pressure during the starting stages of a roll isn't going to help get the nose whe...

Is my sarcasm detector broken?

When I first started my training 5 years ago, I was told to climb back to 500'AGL and if no conflict cut over to a early crosswind and re-join downwind right away. Should you always stay at 500'AGL until you are clear of the runway? Reason I ask is, maybe you have someone crossing overhead at 1000'A...

I hold nearly full back pressure on the controls until I start getting some airspeed on the roll. As the A/C picks up airspeed I start easing off the back pressure just a bit to prevent a tail strike on the Diamond. The T tail is kind of on/off in a soft field take off. Nothing, nothing, then bam. J...

Word is that they are getting a new fleet of 172s. But it's August, and I have yet to have seen them.

Decided i'm not going the diploma route, the school isn't Confed/Seneca, so I would have to pay every cent for the flight training anyways.

What is the typical cost for a CAT 1 medical in Calgary? I've had one place tell me $200 + 60 for ECG, booked an appointment, then they called me back and said it was actually $300+60 for a CAT 1. Called a 2nd place and they said $200, asked if that was for a CAT 1, and the receptionist said yes. :r...

Did you get a full class schedule? I thought the program was going to be more on the lines of in class 3-4 days a week etc, and or half days and the rest was flying etc. But when we were presented the class outline, it was five full 3 credit college classes per semester. Meaning I'd be at main campu...

Initially I was quite geared towards getting an aviation diploma, but after attending a information meeting and talking to a friend who took the first year of a program, I'm having second thoughts. I finished my PPL training over 4 years ago and didn't really stay current, so I'm just getting myself...

I took PPL training a few yeas ago, but since then have not flown. I am wanting to go back and get my PPL, but am having issues with finding a school that offers a daytime ground school. Is there anywhere that offers anything during the day?
