My friend/co-worker just did it. The exams aren't that hard (he used Gliem). Only thing to worry about is making sure you write the canadian conversion exam at the testing center, not the regular atp exam. no recommend required. i'd personally travel to a FSDO that will do the conversion in house vs...

Canada?

They're extremely backlogged. Expect a long time for the initial medical.

I've waited nearly a year for them to process a renewal.

Sounds good to use in a dirtbike, lawnmower, carbureted motorcycle, once you drain the water and check for tank corrosion. Wouldn't use it in an airplane.

You like will be exempt if "English Proficient" is endorsed under limitations on your FAA Private when you convert that to Canada. You'll have to take an exam as part of the conversion which will be in English (but no check ride), however. Some flight schools seem to enforce taking a formal aviation...

TORONTO, April 27, 2020 /CNW/ - Porter Airlines is extending its temporary suspension of all flights due to COVID-19 by four weeks until June 29. The airline stopped flying on March 21, as travel restrictions and public health measures were increasing in North America. "Our initial restart date of J...

There's tons of guys on Kijiji still doing them, even in Ontario. The requirements for a passport photo are "from a professional." So that's a pretty wide criteria.

I'd go to them if you can't get Costco or like another professional studio to do it.

Still plenty of schools open in the US if you're interested. Some testing centers there are too. You can still cross the border for something like that. Or, if you're Canadian, you can take your training in Canada, and contribute to the Canadian aviation industry. "Fastest Way" and "Cheapest way" a...

No, it's a pretty simple conversion (slightly more complex if you want a US ATP). Tons of people, including myself, have both certificates and there's lots of documentation on the conversion on this site. There are also the official TC and FAA advisory circulars. For a Commercial or higher, you will...

I think Air Hart does.

CX-2 is fine. I used a Sporty's E6B for all my tests. Some TC invigilators made me remove the batteries, some did not. This was years ago, but I don't see how a E6B is preferable. Especially when you're writing ATP exams or the IATRA, the ability to easily calculate mach numbers is worth its weight ...

I wouldn't bother with a globalstar sat phone if reliability is a concern. never had an issue with a iridium satphone, but i have had a spot not work (which uses globalstar). iridium is particularly better anywhere mountainous or at northern latitudes.

DHL uses a lot of belly space for cargo vs their own planes. Probably the cost of farming out cargo space to competitors or dedicated cargo ops.

Still a ridiculous surcharge, just increase pricing.

The easy way in limited radar coverage is file your legally required flight plan with Canadian flight service somehow, call 1-800-WX-BRIEF, select the state you are going to gross the border at (Montana in this case), ask for a border crossing squawk code. They will call Salt Lake Center and get you...

i modified it and sent it as a letter. letters to the house of commons are postage free FYI.

Makes no sense why he landed if the roll was significant enough that he reported it.

We were told to keep ours at our base, other bases were told to return them.

Is there even a transport office anywhere you can just walk into? The one in YYJ has been closed for a long time, they are there, you just can't go in without an appointment.

Here you go.

August 1st.

All Porter employees are off until at least June 1st.

Huge ground stop right now.

The first has fallen (Sunwing). "Regrettably at this time the Company has announced it is laying off the entire pilot group starting April 8th. Your Union will meet with the Company tomorrow morning to discuss mitigation strategies for the members. While we go through this difficult time we will ens...

Depends on what your insurance company wants. There's a few of us that fly a plane my buddy owns, some need a checkout, some are fine with their previous experience.

Flew from the West Coast to Buenos Aires through YYZ Thursday-Friday. Plane was maybe 1/3 full. The thing that struck me was the level of screening in Argentina. Debarked one pax at a time. Initial screening on the jetway at the cabin door and then there was a whole crew in hazmat gear for another ...
