Contact Tanner Poulin at RFC. He is rated and instructing. He was my check out instructor and he is very easy going, relatable, and realistic.

Thanks much for the quick response Braun. I did all of my flight training out of CYOW so i was quite used to the procedures with Clearance/Ground/Tower/Terminal. But now based out of an uncountrolled site, it is much different and slightly out of my comfort zone. I just need to build the confidence,...

Hi, I have just recently switched to the Rockcliffe Flying Club (RFC) at CYRO which is settled right in between CYOW (OTTAWA) and CYND (GATINEAU). I am wondering what is the best way to request a squawk code? Is there a 1800 number to call and get prior to startup? Is it better to acquire before dep...

Hi,

Does anyone have any good online map learning tools such as movies/emoudles, etc? Look at skyvector today made me realize that I am severely lacking that skills department.

Cheers,

Nah. Not giving up on the Craptana, just relocating to a different airport that is closer to my house.

I love the Katana because i feel like it is the miata of the sky, but the Cessna has more weight and PAX capacity

Many thanks RNAV30 for the quick response. I will definitely need to take a POH on my next business trip to get up to speed and some light reading.. I will find out the model and PM you once i know!

TIA!

Hello all, just wanting to do my research before making the big leap. The club i am looking at going to has all Cessna's. What is involved in the checkout ride(s)? How many flights are usually involved? What do i need to read up on for the Cessna? I have 80+ hrs on the DV20 with 0 on a Cessna (150/1...

ummmm. Were you searching cougar dating earlier or was it just coincidence?

What happened to our good friend the Colonel? I haven't seen him posting on here in a long time.

All about feel for the aircraft...

Practice practice practice in the circuit....

Nothing on the web will teach you this.

I did my groundschool during the earlier part of flight training. This helped me prepare for the various stages of my training. IMO., I'd join it earlier in the flight training stage but not before your first flight. I found the i did it prepared me for the diferent portions of my flying. I would; h...

Likewise, I doubt i did well on my test but I now have mine.

You should talk to others who have taken the iATPL program...

Are you taking it at OAS?

I can honestly tell you, i've gotten ahead of myself and definitely butchered some landings during a touch and go... Needless to say, I have taken these experiences to heart and have since begun focusing on the touch (land) first before doing anything else because I still have about 5000' of rwy lef...

I am looking to go for my CPL written and these companies do not have a CPL exam. Is it just as good to go with the PPL one?

Look yourself in the mirror on the morning of your exam. Flex your biceps and repeat, "I'm the shit, the top dawg baby. Canyou dig it? somebody call thefire ddepartment. I'm on fire." This is what i do every day, but i also flex my pecs in there too... Its the only way i can get throug the work day...

Sooooo. You're telling me that I shouldn't put a photo of an aircraft sailing into the sunset as a background photo in the bottom left corner of my cv?

Amateurs... I have been flying for just over a year now and I believe I am the best pilot out there. jk.

It can be hard to know what to right in your resume, particularly when it's slim pickings at the beginning of you career. I just submitted my first resume ever (and I'm 53) yesterday, to an organization I already work for, just to move up a rank. I had my wife help me right it - she is a college pr...

DS, You wouldn't. On top of the eapis customs requirements, I recommend a full verbal briefing from the US wxbrief -- within 24 hours of your flight. They would go through your route and alert you to any TFR's -- and it's all on tape, which protects you somewhat from any briefing error. Then you go...

Now you can do a flight to NYC. Same deal except even more handoffs. However I found everyone in both NY and DC on different trips extremely professional and helpful. (although extremely busy as well). Just follow your directions and ask if a request (like different altitude) is needed. Works the s...

Hey, I know that instrument panel pretty well... Nice shot! What was your route? Did you stay for a while or just get some gas at YTZ and go home? I'm not sure my pax could handle 2+ hours nonstop ... My route was direct from CYOW passing just to just north of the Campbleford VOR and south of the Y...

To put you at even more ease... I flew direct from CYOW to CYTZ. Great flight from one busy airspace to another, simply not being afraid to ask the kind person on the other side of the radio will do wonders. I got to speak with many people (in order)... - Ottawa Clearance - Ottawa Ground - Ottawa To...
