1500h, my bad. Good to know. Thanks

You can get an ATPL without having obtained a CPL first? I thought it was a requirement. So basically you need minimum 750h, MEIFR and the ATPL test and that’s it?

They have at least 4 instructors, probably more and the planes always seemed pretty booked!

Dorval aviation has 3 172’s now.

Dorval aviation seems to be more anglophone than the other schools in the greater Montreal area. Flying out of YUL has it's plus and minuses. Cornwall could be a good bet. Most schools in CYHU probably would require some level of French but your best bet would be to call/visit and find out. I flew o...

If anyone is interested, the premium went up from 1300 to 1950$ by adding two below 150 hours pilots

I was thoroughly confused when flight planning an IFR flight to St Hubert (CYHU) from the east. The mandatory routing includes ...VIKBU SILVI GORUX OMBRE MAIRE. I could not see GORUX on the LO6 chart. Silvi and Ombre are only 16 miles apart. Gorux does not appear in any plate for CYHU. I assumed it...

Thanks for the reply. We'd be buying into an already existing partnership so I guess i'll see with them what the deal is. Ask your future partners to check with their existing insurer what it would take to get you added to the aircraft policy. The insurer will want details on you (licences, experie...

That would be insurance rate for the whole group...up to 4 pilots (typically), beyond that its more of a club and different underwriting seems to apply. Rate is often (but not always) based on the least experienced pilot. You used to be able to negotiate somewhat and were definitely in a better pos...

Thanks! Typically, say there are 3 partners with varied experience, is the insurance rate per pilot or for the whole group on one aircraft?

Hey, I am possibly looking to purchase a share of a C172 or C177 (not RG). As a very low time PPL pilot (#60hrs) what should I expect to be paying for insurance? Can I even get insured? Obviously when the discussions get further i'll contact a broker but was just curious in the meantime! Thanks in a...

Contrary to what Lotro has said, I think there is a fast track option for military ATC controllers...I've met a few military controllers who has received an offer from Nav Canada to skip the entire application process and to receive a conversion course/OJT. Not only that but they would receive simi...

I have always used this forum to help get jobs in this weird ass business, ramp, dispatch and and the seat I currently hold which I don’t really consider a job. Read through all the negativity. Asked questions mostly through pm’s. I started flying in my late 30’s and have always had 2 jobs at the s...

Thanks for participating, in no constructive way atll, behind the anonymity of your keyboard in . Not exactly sure why we are the laughing stock of Canada. I'd definitely be curious to know more about this. I'm glad there aren't more posters like, in general this sub section is actually nice and co...

Everybody speaking English would have for sure avoided this situation.

C’est clair que oui!

Interesting discussion on both sides - not sure which side I agree with at this point. Just a real world example from a few years ago.... Flying into CYQB (or was it CYOW...can't recall) and listening to the controller talk to another guy in French and me in English. Got clearance to land and in th...

Geee, thanks for quoting me and starting a bonfire. I've read enough of your posts here and there to not get into an argument with you, you're clearly more knowledgeable on what is safer and better for us. So thanks! I'll make sure the whole VFR GA population that doesn't speak English in Quebec (an...

Haha! I have my PPL...does that count?

No worries, my pleasure. I forgot to add one thing, we make mistakes as well! Not many people in this industry want to admit that they aren't perfect but it's true for anyone!

Happy easter!

No worries skyhighh! When I say normal traffic flow and 6000ft abeam the field it's just the way the STAR is made, our procedures and airspace make it so at the 9000FT BLO restriction on the STAR you should be given 6000 and 5nm further descent to 3000'. In a normal world this brings the aircraft ab...

Hehe, don't worry about it. I don't take it personally, I'm sure he has his points and I am genuinely curious to hear them.
