2 busy training schools (Skywings and Montair), Airspray Aviation, Buffalo airways, and the local General Aviation community.... Granted, it's no Springbank, but it can be heavily congested with student pilots.

Just stumbled across this post. Anyone know what the wonderlic standard is for this position???

We use wonderlic at my work as well. Just wanted to get a comparison.

I"m saying they will be different. They won't be identical. Attitude, GS won't be the same. You'll require different power settings to achieve IAS at different attitudes. You're telling me that you can fly into a 15 kt headwind, obtain slow flight... Then do a 180, and using the exact same power, a...

Headwind vs Tailwind.... Think about it for a minute..... You are saying that the power setting and IAS (not GS, IAS...) required to enter and maintain slow flight depends on wind? Think about it for a minute... I"m saying they will be different. They won't be identical. Attitude, GS won't be the s...

$300,000 in damages doesn't seem that unreasonable when you take into account the lost wages. I mean they definetly won't be working for WestJet now, which was clearly what their intention joining the program in the first place was. A shitty situation overall, pro tip is never pre pay an FTU. That'...

What's wrong with the first one? Targetting a specified speed shows that you can control the airplane in slow flight, no? He said "target a specific power setting and speed". Both will differ with wind conditions, altitude, direction of wind. You can't just "Pull it back to 1800 rpm and slow up". P...

SPOILER ALERT-
Op's next post, 10 years down the road will be:
"So, I bought this Garmin 430W, it hasn't worked for a while, and now Garmin won't support it....."

I found my flight sim useful for AFTER I completed a lesson. Mainly getting the order of systems down. (I.e.- downwind checks, carb heat, landing light etc.) Aside from that, it wasn’t overly similar to actually flying. Useful, yes. But not realistic enough to make any FI be happy about it. Go find ...

I have a friend who is planning on starting there. It's been a bit of a BS match between lack of planes, instructors, and getting a straight answer. Everything from what is included in the "Premier Price" (apparently, ground school is extra), to when there's actually availability to get into a class...

It has been some years now since I flew a 31, but I do have a fair amount of time on them... So....lets clear this up. The POHs are quite clear on when to switch to inboards. The Capt, or other pilots should have seen the error in the SOPs and brought that to the attention of management...A perfect...

Finished mine in October. Took 9 months, and a shade under 13k.

You'd be better trying to get a taxi to ZVL over Cooking Lake. Flew into Cooking for Grey Cup, and had a heck of a time trying to arrange a pick up there beforehand.

ZVL for sure.

Was there a case of Child molestation in Junior hockey before Graham James? What about Catholic churches? US gymnastics? That's what they're trying to protect. Having someone slip through the cracks, and at the same time, protecting themselves from any potential lawsuits, with due diligence. Welcom...

Reasons for the checks, are to protect the kids! Simple as that. I'll ask again - protect them from what? Has there ever been a case of child molestation at any CFK or Young Eagles volunteer flight program? You can't say your protecting anybody if the event you're concerned about has never happened...

You pretty much answered your own question by giving an example of one thing that might "catch" you. What if you shared a name? or a physical description? What if, as a result of these or other, more private, irrelevant factors, you fail the background check? Trust me... I have an EXTREMELY common n...

Think what would happen if a security check was required for all and many said "Eff it!". If that's what they did, I wouldn't be standing down. I would agree that it's a reasonable action to take. But to require *only* the pilots, who have the smallest window of opportunity to interfere with a chil...

Every single association, school. volunteer opportunity that now deals with children requires a police check. I'm in a similar situation with Glenn (C-GKNT), where I went in to have one done, and subsequently had to get photographed and fingerprinted in order to prove I wasn't someone else with an a...

Tax exemptions are one thing. Hope you have a great health care plan, because your free Health Care in Canada will be kaput.

The sad thing is, the amazing RAF history of Vulcan was completely overshadowed by the Star Trek stuff. A lot of the locals hate the Star Trek stuff. [/quote] I just finished my PPL, and one of my first flights (once I find a few hours) is to fly over the old CFB Vulcan, and hope to do a few approac...

I work a 40-50 hour a week job, plus travel out of town for 10-14 days a year. Add in a 10 day vacation camping with the family, and that’s my life. I was able to have the support of my boss to take time away from work during the day to complete my flight hours. Since I just finished filling in my l...

Thought I'd share my experience, as I'm now a Flight Exam away from completing my PPL. Should have been done a month ago, but Mother Nature apparently has been talking with my wife, and doesn't want me to fly (friggin weather). That, coupled with the new flight school in Okotoks, claiming that "the ...

Agreed that it was probably a "relief joke". My wife, however, didn't take it that way, and proceeded to mention how "dangerous" GA is.

Spent 5 minutes going through anything and everythign I could find wrong with the article, and his potential procedure issues.

Throwing it out to the masses in Red Deer area. I'm currently completing my PPL, and am trying to "put the cart before the horse" on this. I'd eventually like to purchase / become an aircraft owner, and am now thinking perhaps a partnership with 1-3 other people might be the way to go. Personal pref...
