Ottawa VFR Sightseeing

I'm surprised I couldn't find this question asked here before, but feel free to correct me if my searching abilities need work. I'm planning a sightseeing trip to the National Capital (I'm aware of the CYRs) coming from the GTA. In Toronto, there's a well-established 'city tour' song-and-dance. Is t...

Has anyone used flyblocktime.com?

I'm thinking of renting from them but wanted to hear some feedback before putting down 1900 bucks to buy the minimum 25 hours.

PMs welcome.

Re: Canada to introduce new regulations limiting flight crew

You need to read the whole article, not just the first paragraph Garneau said his government's proposal would not be limited to large planes. "We're looking at it not just for big airplanes, but we're looking at it across the spectrum," he said. sounds like he has a 'one size fits all' concept in m...

Re: Next Jet ?

dash8dave, there's no such think as a Beechwood 1900. It's a reporter's inability to fact-check. NextJet will be operating Beechcraft 1900s, which have 19 seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_1900 In case you care, GGN operates them, painted in crybaby blue. The whole 9-seater plane is an...

Re: Fort McMurray mandatory evac

I'd still love to the the Ruskies show up. I'd bet they do things differently than we do and we might learn a thing or two. Language barrier would be a real issue in the airspace, but when help is offered and you say no thanks, the next time they might not offer. I think the last thing congested fi...
