Hi, would anyone have a copy of the actual study conducted by Simon Fraser University regarding facial hair and pilots?

Re: CBAA 2019 Compensation Survey

Thank you for the Pro Pilot information however that is from the US market and my work dismisses it because it's not representative of the Canadian market. I was wondering about the one from CBAA/Wynford that was released at the July YYC convention.

Re: CYMM ILS25 Question

It is giving you the location of PERVA so that you can safely transition onto the approach from the VOR without any type of RNAV/GPS capability as the VOR is not on the ILS track. For whatever reason they're allowing you to descend from the 25NM safe but the PT altitude is too low for obstacle clea...

CYMM ILS25 Question

Since they moved PERVA off of the YMM VOR, this note "3400 from YMM VOR to PERVA FAF R-053 1NM" appeared on the ILS25 approach. What does it actually mean? The P-Turn is 2800 and 25nm is 3900 so 3400 doesn't make sense. Thanks in advance. http://postimage.org/image/5iyv0qbn3/ http://postimage.org/im...

Re: New AIM is THICKER but less pages?

The AIP was nicer; The issue with the AIP is that if you had any grease on your fingers the pages would go completely translucent on you. Who eats healthy food when studying the AIP? :P

New AIM is THICKER but less pages?

Hi:

Did anybody else notice that the New Grey-Coloured AIM (April 5th, 2012 - October 18th, 2012) is 1/4" thicker than the previous AIM, yet has less pages (436 VS. 440)?

Perhaps I need to get out more often :roll:

Are you kidding me? We have resorted to apps and spread sheets to help us calculate cold temperature corrections?
