Re: Should I even get the instructor rating?
I do equate them. Everything matters towards a positive first impression. The difference is: The OP is A) looking for advice and more importantly B) looking for a job. I have no need of either, but I did offer some advice. Which was rejected, which is the listeners choice. Humility is sorely lackin...

Re: Should I even get the instructor rating?
Do I dare answer this, or direct the OP to “career advice”. Nah! Let’s start with improving the bolded sentence. Terrible english. Inexcusable when there are countless apps to help. Just takes work. If as a new pilot seeking a job, wanting to make a good impression, you can’t be bothered to express...

Re: Should I even get the instructor rating?
Hey everyone. I have tried to get any possible job, and just got TBNT from basically everyone. I got 530 TT, 380 PIC, 40 multi (25 PIC), 80 instrument (with 10 in actual) and almost 100 on TAA. I have CPL with Multi IFR and IATRA, as well as my FAA CMEL and IR (not that it matter), and it's just im...

Re: How long until layoffs due to Tariffs?
How long until we’re going to work every day using traditional navaids only because the U.S. government selectively shuts off GPS over Canadian airspace in an escalating trade war? Been a long time since I’ve done a DME Arc or the NDB A into anywhere. How exactly would they do that? The signal only...

Re: DEI And Aviation — Boeing’s take.
You do realise this was a hypothetical (made up) example of what the bell curve does NOT look like. Here is the tweet: https://x.com/nuance_enjoyer/status/1785602734483534275 Most meta-analyses shows very little difference between male and females, so the second graph (above) is probably legit. htt...

Re: PC 12 FO vs c172 PIC
To be fair, Are you honest with yourself? Although the PC-12 is an absolute sweetheart to fly she’s a high performance beast with systems that would be new to you. If I were in your shoes, I’d ask myself “am I ready for this? Are my IFR skills real sharp? (Because the sim ain’t no place to polish u...

Job Requirements In Ads
Job requirements seem to be all over the place for the same type of aircraft. I’m trying to understand the appeal some of these companies have. Are they actually getting candidates with the experience requirements posted? if not, what’re they actually hiring at? ORNGE is asking 2000 hrs for a PC12 C...

Re: Canwest Air
KNZ - The management team at Canwest is top notch, they work extremely hard to ensure they look after their employees. With that being said they have high expectations of their people as well. I have seen different platforms with people making bash posts about the management and it is disappointing...

Re: nav can awws site closure
I don't think the developers even tried on a mobile device, likely only larger tablets. The output is too tiny and unreadable. You have to scroll around on a normal sized phone making it very difficult to use. A simple plain text output like before is all I want. I had a url saved with all the loca...

Re: Approach Ban Terms Confusion
RVR is always automated. When the cap gen refers to pilot visibility it uses the term "visibility as observed by the pilot in command". That definition on page 16 of the CAP GEN is just incomplete. The RVR definition I’m talking about is on page 13 of the CAP GEN, copy and pasted below “RUNWAY VISU...

CAP GEN Page 24 talks about Approach ban hierarchy. 1)RVR 2)Runway Vis 3)Ground Vis -Runway Vis Definition (AIM 9.19.2.6): An instrument-rated pilot or a qualified person (under CAR 804...

One of the places which provides the reference you're looking for can be found: § 3.778 Operating limitations— ........... (e) Maneuvers.

Spins Not Specified In POH, Illegal?
My questions are about the legality of things, not whether someone will has or should. Here’s a situation: Suppose you have an airplane that’s certified for aerobatics and normal category. The aerobatic maneuvers approved are listed and restricted to a specific arm (“ aft if datum) but spins are not...
