Guys and Girls,
I think we are going slightly off topic here. Regardless of their reasons for flying in the mountains can we please maintain some respect for the pilot and his family.

Did any of you guys or girls know the pilot and the extent of the injuries?

Thanks for all the replies guys and girls. Its always nice to get constructive comments. Will let you know how I get on with my search for part time work. Safe flying to all out there.

I flew out of Springbank yesterday and the winds were gusting to over 30 knots in the afternoon along with turbulence. It was certainly not a good day for mountain flying.

Any info on the crash in Canmore yesterday? My respect to the families and friends of those killed.

HZ2P my extreme apologies to yourself good sir.
Next time I post I promise to keep your feelings
in mind.
Happy and safe flying to all out there.

Can anyone let me know what are employment prospects like at present in Alberta for Class 4 guys and girls? In particular the Calgary area.

First 10 or so from Flight Instructor Guide, Learning Factors.
Lots of theory of Flight. Five or 6 questions on VOR, know your TO and FROM pictures. A couple of weight and balance, no Meteorology, the last few on Medical Factors. Hope all goes well.

Wrong, you can sit the writtens in Orlando.

Anyone know of any schools in either BC or Ontario that hire their Class 4 guys upon completion of the rating?

Any freelence guys either out of Springbank or YYC please contact me regarding the renewal of an Instructor rating.

Cheers,
Right Seat Captain.

How long does the Class 4 written last for after applying for a renewal, is it 12 or 24 months?

I currently live and work in a non aviation field here in Calgary. I am in the process of getting my Class 4 renewed. Can anyone please advise of what the prospects are currently in this area? Is movement still slow? Upon completion I will probably remain in my current employment and seek part time ...
