A what? A what? A cheque. You know, those small things you write on to transfer money from your account to some other person or company. Jeebus I must be getting old.... Frankly 5 minutes of my time every 6 months isn't enough to get worked up about. Dude you seriously need to read your medical val...

Good luck with any help from TC. The CAME's don't know the requirements. PM sent.

Who owns the land shouldn't make a difference to the taxes, the land owner or leasee pays that. Enclosed T hangar at YYJ, lease, tax and miscellaneous annual fees is $3300/yr. The tax portion for that is $1450. This is calculated on the aggregate value of 30 hangars in one association and then divid...

Got paper work in just under two weeks on an inspection back in April on the left coast.

I know that, but I have paid my dues and that is what I get to do all summer.

4 or 5 hours in YYJ is not going to do you any good, trust me.

Save your money. The chances of getting anything fruitful out of it at this point is unlikely. Put the money aside and use it later when you know how best to use it. For example you find your having trouble with nav, now you have the opportunity to go and do some extra work on that subject. Maybe yo...

Your first fatal mistake in this industry

Alex, My advice, FWIW, stop flying now. Come over here and find a good school to finish your training here. Do an instructor rating with them and impress them every day your there so that when you have finished your training and have spent 20G's with them they give you a job. Get some experience and...

Currently on the TC site; (4) An applicant for the renewal of an instrument rating that expired more than 24 months before the date of application, shall: (amended 1999/03/01; previous version) (a) successfully complete the flight test referred to in paragraph 421.46(2)(c); and (amended 1999/03/01; ...

Yes, a valid instructor rating is all that is needed, the entry in the log is quoted from the CAR's.

Strictly speaking you should carry it with you in case you get ramped. The sad part is the self paced study program asks questions that are so utterly irrelevant to anything that would actually be of value in safely and effectively operating any aircraft that it is a complete waste of time. My advi...

As CFI I used to do them initially, as it gave me insight into how the students were progressing, how the various instructors were teaching. It also allowed me to see where the work load was and would likely be in the near future. Eventually I managed to get an admin person appointed as an AP by TC ...

Pretty well explained in the PDF at this link.

Remember a stalled wing has no load, that's why we fall to our doom when we stall. This is just not true. A stalled wing is still generating lift. Not enough to fly level, but we don't necessarily fall to our doom and the wing is still generating lift. http://poisson.me.dal.ca/~dp_04_5/images/foils...

OK. Picture two bleach bottles bouncing around in a choppy sea, one is 3/4 full and the other is empty.The fuller one wallows around where as the empty one gets thrown around wildly. The accelration forces (G) are much higher on the empty one as it is tossed around more. Now in an airplane we can st...

Sent to CARRAC, COPA, my MP and every contact in my address book who is involved in aviation. To Whom it may concern; I read about (NPA #2013-014) on the COPA National website ( https://www.copanational.org/Newregaerodrome2015.cfm ) and want to voice my opposition to this in strongest possible way. ...

Hello all As a quick brief of my self; I'm a holder of ICAO CPL/IR license and ATR72 type rating with the bellow flight experiences: Total Duration of Flight: 2425hrs Airplane Single Engine Land: 184hrs Airplane Multi Engine Land (ATR72): 2241hrs Actual Instrument: 1971hrs Cross Country: 2325hrs Ni...

As per: (a) the application for extension of the rating is made while the rating is still valid; and (amended 2008/05/01; no previous version) (b) the applicant demonstrates that there has been no reasonable opportunity to renew the rating within the 90 days before the day on which the rating would...

If you can't do it, teach it, if you can't teach it, go into government.
