Pre-Covid they had their quirks but were generally reasonable with a few experienced folks that would run a squeeze play when they knew it would work. Now they seem like they're all trainees. I have a few questions that I'd appreciate a serious answer to, is there an e-mail address that NavCanada ha...

^ they're the same answer! One written by management and one by a technician.

Such an ignorant comment. You clown.

Carson with their 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon spamming of job postings. Pay to get them stickied you cheap f**kers. Pathetic. I'd like to see the mods limit them to advertising the same position once a month at most.

All unconfirmed rumour mill: - taxi package came out after the incident. - crew queried ground multiple times prior to taxiing that route - a military wing walker was in place Questions about vantage point from flight deck to wingtip: You can see the wingtips, but depth perception can be difficult ...

This is a Canadian forum, so you won't get much specific information. Google Professional Pilot Rumour Network and trawl the terms and endearment page there's lots of Europeans there. I'm not familiar with the cadet program that you mentioned but if it's as good as it seems, he will have a LOT of co...

I have. I've even close one once myself. In both cases, the runway was clear in under 20 minutes. And both occurrences were in a small airport with limited services. A trainee put a 152 or 172 off the edge of the runway in YLW last year and it was closed for well over an hour. One would hope that i...

And how dumb would they look if the other stove died or had low oil pressure during the extra long journey to YYC? I do think YLW was an ok option, ultimately though, the time they spent circling to the north could have been spent in the cruise, running checklists and ultimately landing in YYC. The...

Yes, your foreign logbook will be approved, provided it is filled out correctly and understandable by your TC inspector. Firstly though, you will need your theoretical training recognised, if this can't be done (and it probably won't), you will have to do the ICS course or go to a school. Frustratin...

All 70x operators required to produce and follow SOP's?! Watch the 702 & 703 VFR helicopter operators scramble to write something that vaguely reflects their operation and convince the 8 different personalities with a combined 50,000hrs that they should be doing things "the standard way".

anybody have TC exams available to share with us or the test provided at RRC Refresher course. I try ti register for the course but is full booked now I have to wait to get into the program but if there its anybody out there with the exama dont be selfies and share we all looking for the sams goal....

I love my Garmin D2. Easy to read phone notifications without pulling your phone from your pocket. Home wx, UTC and local time all available at a glance. Pulse o2, Aviation database, direct to, nearest etc and a tonne of other functionality. It's not perfect but it's a great flying watch. From your ...

Well, you've just claimed that there were a lot of TFW's working this season, and even insinuated that there may have also been foreigners here working illegally. I think you should either put up, and allow a company to defend your claims, or shut up. Better yet, call the CBSA and tell them that you...

I've never heard of a TFW wrenching in Canada. What kind of nationality and who were they working for? Are you sure they were a TFW and not a Permanent Resident.

This has to be the most Canadian topic I've seen in a long time. Instead of going and talking to him, seeing if you could offer your knowledge and expertise to help troubleshoot his problem or teach him, you've gone online anonymously to basically rant. From your post history, you've got a lot to of...

I read your question and though, "It'd probably be fine", and thinking to myself that I must be an absolute cowboy after reading all the replies you got. Glad to know that I'm not so silly. Mogas is indeed different, with ethanol in it, it's madness to put it through a certified normally aspirated e...

In the US one needs 1 SM VIS to depart.

Not entirely true, under Part 91 (which it sounds like you'll be operating), you can take off in zero-zero conditions.

Please post price and length of course, or PM me if it's terribly sensitive.

Thanks!

Lucky, lucky boy.

Teach him the value of work, social skills and humility, ideally through a part time job as a teenager so that he can save for his flying by himself. Use the University tuition to get a degree should he not be able to maintain a medical certificate or some guy in a far off country eats a bat or some...

I see nobody has replied to this, and I feel unqualified to offer much advice except that until flying becomes your profession, you need to use the skills you currently have to support yourself. Other people either get a loan from their parents or work and save enough to pay for it themselves, if yo...

It was no hassle for me. I'm a citizen of a country that is issued an ESTA Visa Waiver by the US and I traveled to the US on a WB Visa.

Of course you can! If a truck breaks down, you can drive down and fix it and bring it back, why wouldn't the same apply to an airplane?

Contrary to popular belief on this thread. You don't actually have to fill out a Canadian AME logbook, you merely need a documented record of experience/tasks. Your EASA journal of experience should suffice for many tasks however there will be some tasks that your friendly TC inspector will want sig...
