Iwould be downright surprised if ALPA didn't have Agency Shop language in the AC contract. Every ALPA chapter has it in their contract.

Re: Multi Engine Instructor Qualifications
Do most students get the multi first and then their group 1? I assumed they would train for these concurrently.

Multi Engine Instructor Qualifications
I was day dreaming about follow on career options and was looking at how people got their Multi Engine hours. This led me to wonder what it took to be allowed to instruct multi engine and if there was a Multi Engine Instructor rating like in the US? From reading CAR 425.21(5) it seems to be a multi ...

Re: Joining the RCAF at 37 years old
Finding pilots to fly the Polaris, Globemasters, Challengers, and hercs is not a problem. They form a small percentage of the cockpits and there are no shortages of volunteers within the ranks to fly them. We still need bodies though. If we can get someone to the Polaris in half the time it would o...

Re: Joining the RCAF at 37 years old
Yet we'll take a Hungarian pilot who flew under the soviets and allow them to train future fighter pilots at 417 Sqn? Who is more likely to be flexible to doing things the RCAF way? I think the RCAF are now beggars instead of choosers. If we really want to set ourselves up for success we would allow...

Re: Drone seized by Red Deer RCMP after flying in the path of STARS air ambulance
I'm not sure but wouldn't an altitude cap keep everyone safe?
Cap Drones to 250'
And then you can open up the rules to 3nm from airports

Re: New Flight Duty Time Regs are going to happen?
I've always found that weird ^ Military rules say crew rest is when the last crew members arrives at the hotel and the first one departs the hotel and you need 12 hours of uninterrupted crew rest. For operational reasons that can be reduced to 8 hours of uninterrupted rest which I've always seen int...

Re: New Flight Duty Time Regs are going to happen?
Likely because there's a tradeoff between safety and operations, and the level of flight safety compromise to the general public (Who is TC's main concern) between a fatigued 703+ pilot and a 702 pilot is different.Spokes wrote:Why does there always seem to be the notion that 702 pilots do not get fatigued?

Re: Inadvertent VFR into IMC
Have spent the last few hours reading the TC database with all the fines. I was surprised to see some pretty stupid things happen and relatively low fines. Flying as PIC without a medical $750 fine? Would have thought it'd be higher. Or operating as an AME without a valid license $1000? In my head I...

Re: Inadvertent VFR into IMC
Far more common of a scenario however, would be a VFR pilot who's decided to fly somewhere above a scattered layer, which becomes a broken layer, and then an undercast one. I've always been curious about this. I'm a VFR pilot with pretty good SA on IFR procedures and fly with the approach plates wi...

Can any of the aerobatic guys tell if your allowed to go from either positive to negative or vice versa because of the possible "g LOC"?

Re: Is it rare for a ppl student to solo with ten hours or l
Current RCAF training (provided under contract by civilian instructors to the TC syllabus) has first solo at 14 hours. At least, if you haven't reached the required standard by then you don't get any extra chances. Aren't the students also doing Aerobatics pre-solo? So not exactly the same syllabus.
