Re: Would you say working as an air traffic controller is a job or a career?
Go to the airport and look at the parking lots. First where the ATC folks park and then where the pilots park - a big part of your question will be answered. :P BAHAHA!! Funny... when I was wrapping up my MEI, I remember looking across the parking lot at the tower thinking: “there’s gold in them th...

Re: YWG process
I don't know if it has changed, but the YWG ACC is probably the absolute worst for IFR in Canada. Lot of cliques, OT shenanigans, etc. In 08-12 the checkout rate was below 5% and that only counted trainees that made it to the floor, not even the ones who were cease-trained in the course/sector-spec...

Re: Monitor Tower or call "Ready" at the hold short line
The proper phraseology is "ABC123 holding short of 35R on Bravo ready to depart in sequence with the traffic on final visual." Do you have a reference for that?

Re: Monitor Tower or call "Ready" at the hold short line
Hi all: It's been AGES since I chimed in on a forum and so this one is it because it seems interesting 'n' such. I've seen some reference to a 'national standard'. As I sit here awkwardly in the dark at home posting and watching M*A*S*H, I do not have a copy of MATS phraseology on hand. However, I l...

Canada Flight Supplement
Hi everyone, I have read on the always correct wikipedia that carrying a CFS satisfies the CAR 602.60(1)(b) requirements. 602.60 (1) No person shall conduct a take-off in a power-driven aircraft, other than an ultra-light aeroplane, unless the following operational and emergency equipment is carried...

IFR readbacks
Hi all: I'm working on a flight safety article and would like some input from everyone here. If you read CAR 602.31 you will read that IFR aircraft are to acknowledge instructions and readback clearances, and while this is similar for VFR aircraft, the requirement to readback a clearance is solely b...

Re: NORDO - flashing green, in the air
Thanks for the replies! It would be interesting to know if most pilots KNOW what to do if the were given a red light on landing... Because I'll be honest, it doesn't seem all to clear and I get the impression that many can't arrive properly, let alone handle a red light... In the moment, it would be...

NORDO - flashing green, in the air
Hello all: Just a quick question that I want to send out to everyone about VFR NORDO arrival procedures. I am somewhat stumped after some discussion over the past while about this topic, specifically the flashing green light to an aircraft in flight. As most of us should be aware of, the flashing gr...

Nice! Thanks!stofer wrote:Aircraft must to be separated by 1000' until "established", then depending on the mode, a minimum 2 mile stagger will be run, or if an ILS monitor is in place the stagger is not required.

Re: Questions for CYYC Terminal? Ask here
If there are two a/c on the ILS's (say 35L and 35R simultaneously), do they have to be separated 1000' vertically/staggered on the approaches?Acey91 wrote:35R and 35L far enough apart for simultaneous ILS approaches?

How did you calculate your rate, and where did you find out what you could charge?ahramin wrote:My insurance covers all pilots with at least 250 tt and 25 on type plus a checkout from me. No phone call required, it's already listed on the proof of insurance.
I rent it out for $60 an hour dry.

Thanks, that's helpful. I think there will be a few more discussions with TC on this anyways.

I'm not personally collecting any payment - never have, and never will. There is an agreement in place between A and B... I just do the flying. My original post was merely to find out what you can collect as an aircraft owner... I still don't know what that is

Re: Renting out your airplane
There's no disconnect as there's no reason for there to be a connection. TC is concerned with whether you're operating a Commericial Air Service, a term defined in the CARs. Your insurance company is concerned with whether you're trying to make money with the airplane, which is a totally different ...

Re: Renting out your airplane
Thanks everyone, for the replies. To clarify: This aircraft is owned by a non profit organization (I am one of the pilots) and the aircraft is being rented out and will be rented out to other non profit groups. I just recently learned about this and how it was being done, hence some of my stress. Th...

Renting out your airplane
Hi all: Looking for some input. I have spoken with Transport about this three times now, and have heard two different responses. Has anyone here had experience renting out their airplane which is privately registered (not falling under Part VI subpart 4)? If so, what costs were you able to recover? ...

There's a hunk of junk Nissan Skyline across the road from me. I'll talk to the owner and see if I can get you two in touch so you can take it off of his hands for a song and use it as a trade for the this 180...
