Hey. Alberta ain't so bad... but I had to get out somehow...

QANTAS not qUantas

Well.. for me this (working at charter company) has been the best time of my life so far.

It doesn't feel like a work for me. I just go to a place called work and have fun. No stress at all.

$9.50/hr with no gaurantee of passing the interview. Actually, you have very slim chance of passing it. They let only one guy to be on the list out of many rampies they have. A lot of pissed off rampies. and if you're not white, forget it.

Yeah. I did multi rating with an club's instructor and it took him 3 flights. and 3rd one was just a brush up. It is possible but I've seen people going above 20 hours also. They know you know how to fly a plane, it's all about the procedures.

Yes. Landing would be awkward. but taxing after that would be a problem. And you can even go backwards. I did this quite a few times during slow flight. Flying itself is all about airspeed. Just like if you're on a boat on the river.

When I moved on this june across the runway for the right seat job... I had 1500TT, 450Multi, 400 Multi PIC, 1200 PIC. While another one left for a left seat single turbine at 850TT.

There are more complex way to calaulate the drift angle but, Unless it's direct crosswind or direct head/tailwind, I start with half of the upper wind speed for the outbound timing and heading. 20kts wind 20/2 = 10 degrees heading correction into the wind on outbound. 20/2 = 10 seconds added/subtrac...

Two of our captains just left for the jazz groundschool.

I am not sure about the wx at the airport exactly but typoon was just passing though Korea at that time.

It happens almost everyday for us, since we go to a lot of uncontrolled airport / airspace. the clearance you will get is something like this "FABC, you are cleared to descend out of controlled airspace in vincinity of CXXX airport for an approach" or skip the approach part. then ATC usually asks yo...

Correct me if I am wrong Once you are cleared to descend out of controlled airspace in vincinity of CXXX airport(uncontrolled). the MEA for the sector/route is protected, meaning that ATC is not going to clear other IFR traffic for the same airport, unless you cancel IFR or make an arrival report. Y...

Yeah, and I think asian contries are getting desperate with english speaking pilots as the deadline for english proficiency rating comes close.
I even got a job offer at korean.(I was born in korea)

$3000/month for FO

Your total instruement time(40 hours) counts from private. and you have to have 5 hours from flight instructor(part of private license training).

Since, everyone does training with flight instructor for their private, eveyone will have 5 hours with instructor. (part of private license requirement)

20 hours in a simulator - yes up to 20 hours and 5 instrument hours in a multi-engined airplane with a holder of instrument rating - no. 5 instrument with a flight instructor. you don't need to have any training in multi, even though it is recommended. you only need to do the flight test in multi. ...

737-200 has no bypass pin. just a pump has to be off. otherwise the towbar safety pin snaps.

319/320/321/330, 757, 737NG, 747, CRJ, has one bypass pin for push backs and tows.

I know a few people did license conversion from overseas, including myself. one you get here, you will need to get Canadian medical ASAP, since it take some time(1-3 months). doctors' addresses for your area are in tc.gc.ca website or local flight school. Then try to attend aerocourse and write INRA...

Some people have bad habbits and some have no time to do it in one go.

usually takes about 10 hours. but if you're sharp, it takes about 4-5 hours.

Multi Engine Rating does not have minimum time requirements. It doesn't have a lot of exercises to do and it's more about procedures. So the cost of the rating varied depending on your effort to study and how well you are flying. I've seen people get the rating with about 2 hours on the multi and so...

Make sure that it hasn't been more than 4 years from the flight test date when you do your ride.
If so, you will have to do INRAT again.

You can use your briefing/ground school time for night rating, multi rating, or instrument rating. and if your school allows, you can also attend same ground school twice. and this is from TC.

It sucks for many of you. but here are the changes (b) in the case of an applicant for a Commercial Pilot Licence, who is not enrolled in an approved integrated course, proof of having successfully completed the required written examination, and a letter from a flight instructor certifying that the ...

Class E

It is controlled for IFR and uncontrolled for VFR. It's kinda busy airspace so that IFR traffic can get the protection from other IFR traffic. but not that busy to have everyone controlled.
