I was given a little tip from a manager at a tower that no VFR courses are planned for the fall.. She said Spring or Fall 2015...

Anybody heard anything else?

I decided to create this post in order to provide some information to Nav Canada applicants. Feel free to input your information . FIR : YVR Preference order (FSS,VFR,IFR): VFR Only Online Application Date: 18 Jan 2014 In person assessment invitation date: 26 Mar 2014 In person assessment: 29 Apr 20...

I attended the assessment on the 29th. The testing was less stressful than I expected, the only portion of the test I am worried about is the audio section. How do you feel it went? She told us the pass/fail for the audio test was something like less then 8 correct, so I was pretty confident after ...

I attended the assessment on the 29th. The testing was less stressful than I expected, the only portion of the test I am worried about is the audio section. How do you feel it went? Overall I think i did pretty decent. Twice I fucked up the order of questions and had to re-arrange the scantron shee...

Also, which FIR did you apply? Test for Vancouver was last week and they come here twice a year... So you might not hear anything for a while. I did my online application in early Jan and write the test last week...

I recently wrote the test, and there is not much you can study for besides the w-sim package they give you.

Only other thing you can practice is basic arithmetic, doing it in your head, fast!

The interviews aren't conducted by a contracted company, at least not in Ontario. I did my telephone interview last Thursday and am waiting for my green light as well. As for who gets through, my understanding is that similar to what you said above, if 8 apply and 4 spots are open then the top scor...

Well, I was in the process and had a phone interview scheduled but decided to cancel. I am bilingual, and it seems the odds of having to relocate for a position are high, possibly even to QC. Not that I would have minded personally (I am French Canadian), but my wife has an amazing career here in T...

Yeah I was hoping that I could get into the October course last year. My application expires early next year and I'm really hoping that I'll be able to make it. As far as phone inquiries go, its virtually impossible. Nav Can staff rarely disclose their plans so that you don't get your hopes up. I w...

I'm waiting for an in person interview. I did my assessment July 2013, phone interview August 2013, and I've been waiting ever since. My target is for the VFR stream. So far I know that there were two VFR courses last year, each in February and October. I am not expecting to hear about another VFR ...

They usually update their website for upcoming events: https://takecharge.navcanada.ca/en/content/onthemove/assessments Its interesting that they're keeping this one under the radar. Congrats on the invite though! I'm still waiting for an interview invite. Hopefully this is a sign of movement. Are ...

I am not sure where you are monitoring but I got a invitation for it late march and I am attending next Tuesday.

Anybody going to YVR Apr 29th assesment?

When I was in my In-Person Interview, the manager said that there was about 25% completion. That is for that particular ACC and stream though, I'd assume. This was for Terminal IFR through Vancouver for YYJ/YVR Thanks. If I make it, I will be in YVR as well.. I am guessing VFR stream has higher per...

I know there are no published numbers but I am wondering what are the approximate success rates for both IFR and VFR controller courses? For IFR, I heard 10% success rate.

Is there somewhere we can find the full list of airport and their pay classification? I managed to find he collective agreement.

What is the difference between AI and ATC pay scale?

What is annual ATC Premium?

Thanks

If you want Vancouver VTA points, I can email you a GPX file or CVS which you can import...

Wow! Never thought about that !?!?

OCR does not work due to all the symbols etc. I ended up typing them / conert them to decimal format.

I am wondering where i can download a database of VFR reporting points, specifically in the Vancouver Terminal Area?

Any file format is ok, GPX, TXT, XLS etc.

cheers

Hi I am looking for a pilot preferably with an aircraft that I can partner up for COPA Alaska Tour. I am from Victoria BC but I can meet you somewhere along the way via commercial flight...

I know this is a old thread but wondering if there are any aviation torrent sites created in the past few years where I can find Jeppesen Training videos or data cycles as well as other software i might not be aware of...
