Maybe it should be more like "Don't have to be crazy, but sure as hell helps"?

You are in a very similar position I was in 12 years ago. Everyone told me to go to school. I did all my training in high school and nearly had my CPL in hand when I graduated. Worked a fishing lodge and dock in Manitoba the week after I finished high school, which led me to a real flying job the ne...

Thanks for some input, i really don't see it having any complications but we all know how little legal details are tedious! The violation is 8 (1) a: "8 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the operator of a vehicle shall obey (a) any instructions displayed on a sign that are applicable to the vehicle" Ju...

Considering a lot of us here spend too much time at airports, and i wont be taking this as legal advice, i wonder if anyone else has had this scenario before. My wife dropped me off at YUL to head out for another rotation and we said our see ya laters. Then she totally blew through a stop sign, righ...

I picked up MANY divers on the west coast from fish farms. We would fly at 500 feet home, taking the "long route" down the inlets. Its no worse then them doing something silly like DRIVING the malahat home if they were down victoria way!

I had a friend that was going out on a multi flight test many moons ago... they did the run-up and they called it off for mechanical reasons. The DFTE told him to log it as they were intending to fly. And as we all know, its harder to say no in this racquet we call aviation. So learning experience? ...

Thank you

Interesting comments RVR12, are you saying that you skud run in weather that is so critical visibility wise that the difference between how fast a Cessna will respond to the controls compared to a Beaver means the difference between flying and crashing? That is how a real bush pilot defines " commo...

Not to be a pessimist, but IMHO; I have to agree a beaver is easier to FLY than a cessna, but there is alot you have to know when flying it. Cessnas are VERY forgiving, but you rub a beaver the wrong way, and nice knowing you. Most of the common "traps" are well known about the -2 but to be honest, ...

I must have missed the part where he says it's a float plane... some guys still fly them on wheels, not tooo many though...

That's a good solution... thanks!

Need some advice on my references; I used to put their position when I worked for them or with them. Ie: "Bob Jones, Chief Pilot, Scare-me airways, (123) 456-7890"... I never wanted to just put "Joe Blow(123) 456-7890" but most of my references have moved on... What would be the perfered way to form...

Most runways up here are 3500' x 100' gravel, and a bit slick now. They have aprons that are usualy around one end of the runway, with a little terminal that tends to be locked when your pax aren't there. The MTO's sometimes offer "overnight accomidations" or a daytime fee, but require PNR. PV8's AR...

Skis are great, Until one of those days...

More thunder storms up in the north here tonight, not much for rain, they'll be more a starting tomorrow too!

I have been flying around them for the past week, and with a wind shift last night it REALLY cleared the air up in my neck of the woods... it's been a hard time flying to some of the most local places and i'm glad that i know the area VERY well, the smoke even 40 miles north of the big fires was pus...

What part of SW ON? are you in the GTA? I'd presume the place is in either Orillia or Owen Sound maybe? If you're farther south than check at perhaps Brampton Flight Center, or Huron Flight Center...? I may be able to help if you gave a general location...

What is the most correct (if any) answer to call a plane than lands and takes off on water...... if not, what do you call it? I only ask because some people use Seaplane, others Float plane, others use other words I guess... I believe the CARS use the two interchangeably... (Seaplane endorsement, Fl...

They have 3 172's. They plan to put UJR on floats in a few months. the 172 is 108/hr on wheels, or 175 on floats. Dual is 42/hr. also, if you want to, you can talk to the owner and probly get some block time on a 150 preatty cheap... i will probly go in tomorrow (monday) if you want i can find out w...

remeber, flying is the best thing you can do with your pants on!

They should see what there is at Flight Safety, but from what i heard, its amazing there! I have never gone, but from what i hear there are really good graphics and like on approach to YYZ the cars are there on one of the roads and they aren't even spaced evenly... you feel like your actualy flying....
