Hi, if I would like to switch CAMEs for my Aviation Medical would I need to ask my current CAME first and get him/her to send all previous info over to the new CAME? Or can I just go to the new one and they can gain access to all my previous renewals info through an online system? Also, a little unr...

Hi, I just recently did my CPL Flight Test, I have not done the written yet as there is currently the exemption that allows you to do the flight test before the written. NCR-022-2021- examiners conducting flight tests for the issuance of Commercial Pilot Licences - Aeroplane or Helicopter, allow exa...

Hello, I want to fly down to CYTS - Timmins to build some XC time. The CFS shows "Air Creebec" as the only FBO and it also asks all non-scheduled flights to park at the North Ramp, which isn't near Air Creebec. Anybody that has been into CYTS know where I should go to get my log book stamped? I just...

Hi all,

Wanted to do a Pearson flyover in a 172 with a buddy sometime next week. For those of you that have done a flyover recently, what seems to be the best time do so and to not get denied due to busy airspace? I'm thinking of going down on a weekday.

Thanks!

With the back log in exams, do you guys anticipate they will extend the current exemption for doing the CPL Flight Test before the Written? "NCR-128-2020" for reference.

Hi, Anybody know the current situation with TC Offices and the written exams? I heard they’re backlogged , but I’m not sure how this new stay at home order is affecting them. Are they closed again like they were at the beginning of the pandemic? I've tried calling but they never pick up. I'm in Onta...

For someone that’s wrapped up flight training, or about to wrap it up with a Diploma from one of the Aviation Colleges recognized by the Jazz Pathway Program, would a degree now be important to have for when the industry and hiring opens back up? I know people were getting hired with just the Aviati...

How many of you have had TC come after you with the dreadful letter asking for blood tests, etc. during random times? I did my Cat 1 Medical and my blood pressure came out to 134/80 after the first reading and I honestly knew that was going to happen because my first reading is always high. They re ...

Question out of curiosity, Blood Pressure is one of the most common (and even most dangerous) likely characteristics of someone who is Overweight or Obese. Now, throughout my years of travelling, I have seen MANY clearly overweight pilots at many Canadian Airlines. Hell, I've been on board and some ...

Hi all, Thinking of getting the Harv's Air course for the CPAER. For those of you that used it for the written exam, how long did it take you guys from start of studying, to written exam ready? I'm hoping to have the written exam done in the next month or two and I'm starting to study this week. Obv...

The title says it all. I'm in the fourth semester and almost done. For you Conestoga College grads on here, where are you guys now and what pathways did you take after graduating? Looking to hear all the different stories/pathways to get my mind going on what I should do after. Obviously COVID screw...

Hi all, I just saw a Reddit post of someone asking for any info regarding COVID and losing your medical (temporarily or permanently). The post didn’t have many replies so I decided to post it here since I was generally curious anyway and I know AvCanada would probably have more info. Apparently peop...

Yup, just checked and “Limitations: None” on the sticker.

Renewal of a medical certificate by attestation of fitness and Renewal of a medical certificate via telemedicine consultation 1.

Hey all, I just called in to get my medical re-booked since it expires on January 1st. The front desk lady told me I could renew it over the phone...to which I replied with obvious confusion. She said that's how it works with Cat 1 renewals, and that the doc could call me if I had anymore questions ...

Hi all, Going to start hard core daily studying for CPAER soon so I can hopefully write by the end of the year, or early next year. I know this has probably been asked before a while ago but I'm wondering what are the latest books, resources, and study methods/tips that some of you recent CPAER writ...

Anybody fly over Pearson or been able to get a low approach over one of their runways in the past few months? Heard of a few people being allowed to do that. What would be the best way to go about doing so? Time of day? Day of week? I suppose just call up terminal and state your intentions and follo...

Hi all, As a pilot and in terms of keeping that Cat 1 Medical, how many of you at the airline level drink alcohol once in a while? Has it affected your medical results before? I'm just about done my Commercial and I've really dedicated myself to this industry. I definitely don't drink as much as a l...

Hi, I plan on writing my Commercial Written sometime this year, hopefully before July or so. The books that I have to study for it so far are - From The Ground Up - Aerocourse Aviation & Meteorology I have heard of Sharper Edge and the Commercial Pilot Answer Guide, pilotexams.ca (which I used for m...

Hi all, Just had a quick question on being current with TC. A little bit of backstory, I have my PPL that I obtained back in August of 2018 while still in high school and currently have about 160 TT. I am part of a flight college right now where I'm doing my night rating before moving onto all the o...

Good evening, I am planning on writing my CPL Written Exam early May. Does anybody have any recommendations for books or online software to use to help study for it? How about tips or study methods? I am hoping to start studying this week. I am also part of a college program that does a Ground Schoo...

Good afternoon, I had my BP taken as part of the vision, height/weight, etc. check before the actual aviation part of my Cat 1 medical yesterday. Now that I've started pursuing my CPL I know how important having a Cat 1 medical is. The machine for my blood pressure read 150 which is when the assista...

I got my Cat 1 Medical done around January 25th, 2019. I believe that means it expires Feb 1st of next year. I also automatically had my Cat 3 medical renewed by the examiner when I did my Cat 1. If I go past Feb 1st, 2020 without having redone my Cat 1, do I need to do everything the Cat 1 requires...

I was going over my logbook earlier and decided to come up with some figures for different phases of my PPL training. First Solo - 20.6 hours PPL - 96.6 hours Training time was over about 3 and a half years (balanced with high school full time, flying on the weekends) For those of you that train stu...

Hey all,

What are some of the best resources/study tactics for the CPL Written Exam? I have searched this site but am preferably looking for more recent info and from people that recently wrote the exam. What about for the INRAT exam as well?

Thanks.
