KS28, int’l peace gardens south of Brandon. There’s a ground border crossing you can walk through. And the peace gardens are a nice afternoon trip.

My info is about 15 years old, however.

I am part of the digital ADB trial and have access to my documents straight from the TC website to download to my Digital ADB. I know I am not a reference for cyber security, but what I have been trialing appears to be pretty hard to forge or hack. Call me hopeful but when TC goes live with this, i...

It begins. https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/reference-centre/civil-aviation-safety-alerts/pilot-documentation-civil-aviation-safety-alert-casa-no-2026-09 2. Transport Canada is now reinforcing its approach to validation of all new pilot hires. Operators are expected to ensure that all newly hired fl...

I really don't get the new ATPL "requirement" - used to be you needed a current group 1 ride for it to be valid. No current ride, revert to CPL privileges. Now you can't even apply without a two crew left seat done? But you can't be 2 crew left seat without an ATPL? What if you then go FO for years...

Sounds like they did exactly that, except for the first few seconds/minutes of confusion? It's not like you have tons of speed margin between overspeed and stall at FL400... Attitude differences between both speeds can be quite minimal, especially if you're also levelling off and your power may or ...

I think you might have a couple options: 1. Get a PIC PPC on the cheapest multi-crew Level D sim you can find, regardless of airframe type (lots of work and expense); 2. Go do an IPC on a cheap multi at a flight school. This will get you the restricted ATPL. Maybe someone in the know can advise whet...

Not that we should have to do this…but when I was waiting for my medical sticker after coming back from disability, I spoke to a TC lady in licensing. For $40, she emailed me a paper copy of my medical in a day, just like the paper documents we used to have. They had no idea how long it would actua...

TC owns this not AC. There is a presumption that a government document that is presented is valid and correct. Therefore I don't think that it is reasonable that AC should be held accountable for accepting a document that the presented fraudulently altered. What should never have happened is that i...

Air Canada has publicly stated that the individual held a valid Commercial Pilot Licence. They have also stated that he completed the company’s training program, passed recurrent training and flight checks, demonstrated a high level of competency, and that safety was not compromised. Those are not ...

This is what I'm trying to figure out. "Captain Geoff Wall was elected Chair of ACPA's governing Master Executive Council (MEC). In addition to presiding over meetings of the MEC, the Chair is responsible for administration of the contract between the Association and the airline, as well as dealing...

ATPL-Hs are fairly rare. Did he have military experience?

This is what I'm trying to figure out.

ATPL(H) to ATPL(A) has very little credits to carry over (ask me how I know). From memory: - 600hrs of helicopter flying can be credited towards the 1500hr requirement - Much of the night / IFR specific hours can be credited - The big hurdle is the 250hr PIC (and 100 x-ctry, 25 nt x-ctry, etc) must ...

The correct limitation is "known icing", not forecast icing. Is it? CAR 605.30 specifically mentions forecast icing: De-icing or Anti-icing Equipment 605.30 No person shall conduct a take-off or continue a flight in an aircraft where icing conditions are reported to exist or are forecast to be enco...

I don't disagree. However, with the GFA note of "trace/light icing in cloud above freezing level", it's probably correct to interpret any visible moisture above the freezing level to constitute forecast icing... I'm simply outlining some of the more conservative interpretations that are often used ...

Great news! Haven’t checked avcanada in a while so I’m late to the response. But hopefully everything went well! Keep us in the loop. Exciting times! Thanks! I’m now officially in the hiring pool, looks like a May ground school start. hey man, Did encore give you a date for May or June? Do keep us ...

Pretty much what digits said, we often debate what “forecast” icing is, but the most conservative interpretation generally is any visible moisture above the freezing level. I think it depends on circumstances. If there is no convective activity, and the ASEP shows no risk of icing, and you can safe...

I don't know of anyone actively avoiding it. It's just that more items need to line up to make it consistently happen. The prairies are generally out: in winter you have the constant freezing conditions in cloud. In summer weather is usually good, except for thunderstorms. I think this is pretty mu...

Can anyone shed some light on this job, specifically the hour requirements?

2500, 3500 preferred, seems like a pretty high bar to fly a C-206 or C-208 on a pipeline patrol...

Contrail?

Unfortunately things are winding down do to the energy situation. 400 flight cancelled for April, 1000 in May. Of those 400, 150 are encore. Bleek times are ahead. Assuming that will impact the planned monthly Ground schools for new FOs at encore? Are the ones already planned for next few months be...

Can't 703/704/705 FOs just go do their MIFR IPC in a redbird to meet the requirement to apply for the restricted ATPL? From what I understand, airlines won't care about the difference between a "restricted" and "non-restricted" ATPL. So the new requirement is essentially meaningless, unless airline...

So what happens in the future when no FO can get an atpl? What happens to all these FOs who are in cadet programs and get into a 705 machine at 250 hours? Not only are they screwed for the PIC requirement, but this just adds an extra hurdle... According to TC’s explanation, for someone upgrading “i...

I’ve used this extensively the last few days studying for my ATPL(H). It’s a great tool when used as one tool in the box. I used it a lot to confirm things that weren’t entirely clear, or to help present some of the more complex rules in a more clear presentation. It was also useful to quickly find ...
