Is a type rating required?

Did someone still operating this beauty here?

...narcissist in social media? I used to follow some 'famous' pilots on different social media, but recently I realized how narcissistic some are, trying to show how 'wonderful' it is to work as a pilot. Being a pilot is like any job, it has its positive and negative things, but they idealize it so...

Being a Pilot is NOT like any other job, If you were a Pilot, (which I am assuming you are not), you would not have made that comment. Flying is something that gets in your blood and stays there. My Dad used to say that is was a Disease and once you have it its there for life...like Herpes.. I have...

Hey ! I'd like to see your point of view about the benefits of learning to soar for a powered a/c pilot (let's see a CPL pilot). I know, it's very awesome to fly a glider and requires a lot of manual skills, but I'd like to go deeper into this question. Is it worth paying for another license? Thanks...

Hi aviatiors ! I'm very excited. Finally I will start my PPL course, but before I'd like to read a little bit about what I'm going to study. I've searched free blogs and books but I didn't find something interesting... Any recommendation? PS : I can't buy used-new PPL books because I'm not currently...

Thanks a lot of your replies.... the northern option looks pretty challenging

I'm just curious... has anyone ever took a C152/C172 and flown from Quebec/GTA to BC and vice versa? I'm wondering to read your experiences because I'd love to do this trip one someday...

Safe landings !

Well, I'm going to tell you my own experience. I saw their website and I contacted them through the contact us tab. Great, I received a reply nearly 10 days later, after sending emails to three emails addresses, the Facebook page and call them from my country (I'm not Canadian). Well, finally I rece...

Looking for anyone's experience or knowledge of the Victoria Flying club . I will be picking this school in the near future for my PPL.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks !

Not funny @treykule... you don't help him

Cedric, sorry, I'm not an expert in flight schools, so I can't give you a hand. Remeber, forums will rarely help you, on the contrary, you're going to sink more in your pursuit

PS : I tell you this advice based on my own experience;)

Any academy will not give you this chance for sure. Maybe some FTU's will tell you that we take flight instructors for our graduates but don't be naive and don't put off by that "promise". If you wanna work as a FI you have study hard and show that you have something more than just a simple instruct...

Hi !

I'm wondering if an humble aviatior can give me some information about the state of the teeth of a pilot holding a Class I medical check.

Thanks

@billgeno That being said, if you have no other back up plan and few marketable skills beyond your pilot's licence, I would highly suggest that you do complete a program. There is the problem. I have a High School Diploma and I think that it isn't enough... In addition, I belong to a family who most...

@cncpc Yes it is. I have a dim future in front of me but someone told me a time when I forgot completely my idea of ​​being a pilot that I'll always be angry with myself if I do not follow what my heart wants. I want to become a pilot. Not an airline pilot. I don't care if I fly C172's all my life. ...

@Meatservo I'm a comprehensive guy, so don't worry, more or less I understood what you are telling BUT you have to understand that I'm going to make a great financial expense and I want to be sure that I'm going in the good way. Moreover I'm not Canadian, I haven't never been in Canada and I have on...

Thanks for this useful advice ! I spent this morning searching info for some colleges like Conestoga and Algonquin... Are there this degrees useful? Moreover, I read a lot of recommendations about Sault and Confederation colleges... Yeah, there are subsidized by the goverment but Sault operates Zlin...

Au Quebec, si tu est motorisé, je te conseille de voir Lachute Aviation, a Meribel, ALM par Avion, à Mascouche (ils vont s'installer à Meribel bien tôt), Exact Air à Chicoutimi et Grondair à St-Jacques. Toutes ont ces plus et moins, mais au moins elles ont un bon prix et ils sont un petit peu genre ...

Dear Canadian aviatiors, I’m a young guy, no Canadian, and I’m thinking to start my aviation career in Canada. I’m writing this thread to show you my decisions and, as a rookie in the aviation world, I hope to receive advice on your part. Well, when I started to search flight schools in Canada I foc...

Hi !

I have a simple question : Would you recommend me to apply for the Aircraft Maintenance Diploma in Red River College, Winnipeg ?

PS : I'm thinking to take flight lessons at same time

Cheers
