Re: Porter CSeries/Airport Expansion
. I wonder though, since Porter has already stepped pretty far outside their original business plan what's preventing them from setting up in Pearson with both the Q and C Series? If they get stuck with the jets, maybe what they could do is keep the Q's at YTZ and operate the jets from Pearson and ...

Re: Do people aspire to be corporate pilots?
I aspire to be a corporate pilot. The majority of my classmates in my college program drool at the thought of flying 777's at Air Canada, but I would much prefer a great corporate gig like that of ., C208, and Jet Jockey. The lifestyle of a corporate pilot seems to be a better fit for me. I'd love t...

Re: Government subsidized training in Ontario
I would second those opinions. As a graduate of one of the Ontario subsidized Colleges, they used to be, "challenging." Now it seems anyone with a heartbeat and some money can graduate. Failed the year end qualifier? Oh don't worry, just take the year again and keep trying. The more pilots that gra...

Which Ontario Transport Canada Office is the Fastest?
I screwed up majorly and decided to give my aviation medical and a few other important flying documents a trip to the washing machine. :oops: Needless to say they didn't stay intact and it looks like I simply left some tissue paper in my pockets. I have my PPL qualifier exam on May 20th and I need a...

Re: Getting better at flying...without flying?
Reduce power (+/- 15'' MP in our case, depending on the day, loading, winds, etc), let the aircraft decelerate, add some flaps (1st notch for us), lower the nose to an attitude for 85 kts, TRIM!!! Only after all this is done should you move onto your next task. Now the students job is to monitor th...

Porter
What would the outcome be at porter if their expansion plans don't fall through? Will they just remain the small niche regional airline they are right now and maybe throw in a few other routes to provide at least a little growth? Will they maybe operate the Cseries out of other airports like YOW/YUL...

Re: HSI in c172
If I were considering putting an HSI in a 172, I would definitely have a look at Aspen Avionics . I have never used one of their systems, but it looks like exactly the right kind of thing for a 172, and probably about the same cost as a traditional HSI. I think Sault College has installed them in t...

Re: What was the first airplane you flew in?
My first flight was on an Air Canada DC-9 from YYZ-YOW when I was 3 months old in 1996. The first flight I actually remember was another Air Canada DC-9 from YOW-YQB (No idea how old I was, but I remember it). My first flight up front was with the cadets on a 172 in 2010 on a 3 hour fam flight from ...

Re: DHC-8-400 Combine announced
Canadian North will be all over this I think. When they replace all of their 732's with the new 733's, what are they going to be flying into those remote communities with gravel strips that are usually flown with 732 Combies? It'll be a bit of a compromise but there's not much of a choice. Or is the...
