Re: HF Always required for Transatlantic?

Great discussion, thank you guys. I've also found this in the AIM at the end of 2.5.2: NOTE: Because of VHF coverage, aircraft may proceed across the Atlantic without HF radio subject to the following restrictions: (a) below FL 195, routing YFB – SF – KFV; and (b) FL 250 or above, routing YYR – OZN ...

Re: HF Always required for Transatlantic?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. The answer might lie within the definition of "high seas": high seas means any body of water, or frozen surface thereof, that is not within the territorial waters of any state; (haute mer) As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_waters, "territorial...

HF Always required for Transatlantic?

I fly a TBM for the owner and I was tasked to see if we could go to Iceland. The aircraft is not equipped with an HF radio. I stumbled upon the following CAR: 602.39 No pilot-in-command of a single-engined aircraft, or of a multi-engined aircraft that would be unable to maintain flight in the event ...

RNAV requirements for private aircraft

I fly a TBM for its owner. We are not a private operator. I’ve been recently reading about RNAV requirements and wanted to hear from someone who had experience with this. The aircraft itself is well equipped and is capable of RNAV 10, 5, 2, and 1. However, the way I interpret 604 regs is that we can...

Deadhead back to Canada: entry requirements

Wondering if anyone has experience with deadheading back to Canada after having flown a plane down south. Let’s say I fly my client down to the US where the plane will stay for a week. I want to “deadhead” back home to Canada on an airline and then come down a week later to fly it back. Would I need...

Well that’s how I did it back when I was doing my CPL and it was fine. Had a CPL student who also went this route with no issues.

I love how clear TC regs are, eh.

Unless he gets the IR prior to CPL in which case that 20 hour requirement is considered to be met, reducing the total dual requirement for CPL to 15 hrs

Re: Supervising Hood Time

CAR 401.62 stipulates that Class 4s need to be supervised when exercising privileges of the instructor rating. Interestingly, 401.69 lists those privileges and training towards an instument rating isn’t one of them!

You basically need to be supervised for PPL, CPL, night ratings etc

Re: Supervising Hood Time

If you act as a “safety pilot” then you don’t really need a y qualifications particularly, but you don’t log anything and your friend logs PIC as mentioned before. It might make more sense for you to provide the dual instruction in which case you log PIC and your friend logs dual. You will need to a...

Re: Any IFR rated pilots looking for IFR hours ?

How’s this pilot going to log IFR hours? Are they the PIC and you’re logging dual as a student? They would then need to qualify for IFR instruction as per 421.25 (9) https://tc.canada.ca/en/corporate-services/acts-regulations/list-regulations/canadian-aviation-regulations-sor-96-433/standards/part-i...

Re: Do you log landings

Logging takeoffs and landings might be required for the 5-in-6 months passenger carrying currency. I log night takeoffs and landing because those are relatively rare. Depending on how frequently you fly, you might want to log day to+landings too.
