Re: List of Aerobatic facility in Canada

If you are looking for aerobatic training go to IAC.org, click on “Learn”, then “Flight Schools”.
You can select Canada, or other countries, states in the US, etc.

Re: Amateur built aircraft

You also need to make sure there is an examiner available who is willing to do a flight test on an experimental. Not everybody will be comfortable with that.

Re: Group 1 IR 6/6/6 Currency

Re: How should I finish my PPL rating?

Go with option one. Even if you end up doing the written exam but can’t finish the flying you would be ahead. The written exam is valid for 24 months. Good motivation to get the flight test done within that time.

Re: Class 4 YYC

They may offer it but they have somewhat limited capacity due to lack of class 1 instructors. Did you call around and ask?
If you can access an airplane there might be some options with freelance instructors.

+1 for North Shore’s comments.
I use a QSet headset. Noise cancelling and Bluetooth significantly cheaper than the big brand names.
Very light weight and comfortable, great customer service.

Re: Demand for flight instructors

An instructor has to be class 2 or 1 in order to supervise a class 4.
We are definitely seeing the class 2s and 1s being hired away from instructing. Some upgrades to class 2, very few make it to class 1 before leaving. This is going to impact ability to train new class 4s.

Re: Own vs Rent Break Even?

Owning a plane will rarely make sense financially, you have to fly a lot to get anywhere near break even in terms of cost. Add dealing with maintenance, insurance, hangar or tie down rental, etc it all takes time. Owning will give you better access to a plane on your schedule, short notice, staying ...

Lynx Air

It’s been over a month since Lynx first posted for pilots. Has there been any callbacks, interviews, hiring?
Does anyone know when they plan to start operating? Or are they doing like Canada Jetlines, starting with wet leases?

Re: Christen Eagle II or an RV14A??

I agree with @jamesel’s comments. When it comes to comfort I’d say RVs are clear winners. So if lots of longer cross country flights are your mission you’ll likely prefer the RV14.

It may not be quite that easy, but it would be a starting point. If TC is helpful and willing to provide guidance - great. If not, or as a complement, look for other avenues.

For a major modification you will likely need to submit initial documentation to TC. Once work is completed the aircraft will need to go back to flight testing for however many hours TC requires, final documents/flight test reports submitted to TC and eventually new CofA issued.

Re: What questions to ask and be cautious of when buying an aircraft?

Make sure you get a pre-buy inspection performed by a qualified AME, and not the one who has previously maintained the aircraft, before making a commitment. They can assist in examining previous maintenance records and identifying potential issues with the aircraft condition.
