Not true, you can include the time done in PPL or after the night rating. So if you finish your PPL with 5-ish hours of instrument you only need 15-ish for the CPL. Typically the night rating adds another 5 (10 total) and then you only need 10 more for the CPL (20 total). This is not correct. Ref C...

Hi everyone I hope you are well, I need some urgent clarification on upgrading from class 3 to class 2nd flight instructor rating CAR421.71(1) states : An applicant for an initial class 2 Flight Instructor Rating - Aeroplane shall have held a Class 3 Flight Instructor Rating - Aeroplane during the ...

My understanding is that you cannot instruct toward any rating other than a multi-engine rating in a multi-engine airplane for a student that doesn't have a multi-engine rating. Is that the case and is there a CARs reference for this? So, if an instructor is qualified to instruct night, multi and I...

No, it's grey out. With blackout you lose conciousness. With grey out you lose your vision but stay conciousness. A grey out can turn into a blackout if it lasts too long. Or you can bypass a grey out and go straight into a blackout if the g changes are too abrupt. The process starts with tunnel vi...

Does anybody have an update on this? Is the change still moving forward? Have there been more revisions? I've searched for updates via TC, CARAC, and more generally on Google, but no joy.

So my question is can flight instructor rating be done after i get the work permit (PGWP) Yes, it can. or do i need the study permit status to do the rating as its some form of training? No, you don't. As long as you're in the country legally, you can take "short courses", which are defined as cour...

In my opinion, charging a yearly subscription for a static book is theft. That's not an opinion. That's a (false) claim of fact. The copyright holder has the final legal and moral/ethical say on how their product is used. You may not like that, but someone not giving you the product of their labour...

I'm not sure how quickly they update it when it expires, but this one is current for now: https://avftc.ca/members/documents/CAP_GEN.pdf.

the small minority that has what it takes to be an airline pilot What makes you think only a small minority has what it takes to be an airline pilot? Because I spent years training hopeful future airline pilots... I was a flight instructor. I reckon you weren't. I was. And I've returned to it after...

...you can only use an independent instructor for training if the training is done in your own plane or in one belonging to a family member, so you'd still have to rent through a school for your actual training hours. This is only true for the RPP/PPL. Once you hold a licence and start training tow...

I was told by a Class 1 that I have to start from scratch and do the entire 30 hours inflight and PGIs. Um...no. What exactly was the claim made here? Were you told you *have* to do the whole course again? You absolutely are NOT required to redo the whole instructor course. I recently did a Class 4...

How many hours a year on average do you instruct and typical Class 4 hourly pay?? I did just under 700 hours my first year instructing (~680 h). That was on the East Coast with terrible weather. I also did close to the same amount of ground instruction (maybe around ~600 h). I don't know what the g...

From what I gather, you need 250 hours, but I can't find anything official that states this number. I looked through the TC website, on this forum, and asked some instructors/airline pilots. By "TC website", so you mean the CARs? Because that's where the answer is. The purpose of the IATRA is to qu...

Are flight schools likely to endorse a candidate for CPL flight test if they haven't conducted all or most of the instruction? That *shouldn't* be a problem, but maybe get confirmation from the school before spending money. The cynical side of me suggests to get that confirmation in writing:). Can ...

From there it's the standard helo to FW conversion credits, nothing special credited for DND. Mostly I'm just going to have to do the 65hrs (30 solo, 35 dual), with a few credits towards instrument and night from my CPL(H). Overall it shouldn't be too onerous. The KF instructors in Southport are ci...

The tax process allows the airline to avoid the full cost of training No, it just means the cost of training is paid from revenue prior to calculation of profits, Then the taxes are reduced & company profits are higher No. Taxes are reduced * BECAUSE * profits are reduced. You don't pay taxes on re...

My instructor taught me the following: if you encounter a headwind, slightly increase power and pitch down to speed up a bit; do opposite for tailwind. :shock: I hope you misunderstood! The whole point of teaching illusions is to make sure pilots * DON'T * do that -- especially slowing down for a t...

Perhaps it was stated with the assumption that you take a flight test within two years ( and obviously pass it), and if you lose recency, you no longer have to re-write the INRAT. That sounds more like it. Failing (or skipping) an IPC doesn't invalidate the rating, so you don't have to re-write the...

I think their argument is that the instrument time in the PPL is essentially unusual attitudes vs. actual IFR flying, so it's not really the stuff you're working on in the IFR rating. But even if that was the case, the instrument time in the night rating included at least one approach to minimums, ...

It's valid for 2 years from date of writing. Yep, two years, per CAR 400.03: Time Limits 400.03 (1) Subject to subsection (3), written examinations, including all sections of a sectionalized examination, that are required for the issuance of a permit or licence or for the endorsement of a permit or...

I have a bunch of hours that I did in my PPL, so carried in a bunch of time under the hood ( 15 hrs). 15 hours of hood on the PPL is unusual, but there's nothing wrong with doing it, and the time absolutely counts. My instructor is telling me ( which is coming from the Chief instructor) that simula...

Would it solve your problem to just get a waypoint published over your aerodrome instead of a whole approach? I'm not sure what that would involve, but it might be possible and if so it would likely be easier/cheaper than an approach. All you need is lat and long to build your own GPS approach. Tha...
