I wasn't satisfied with everyones responses of "It's not a precision approach" with no explanation why. The full write up is on my blog , but the gist of it is: It's not a precision approach because ICAO says so. Although an LPV approach uses geometric vertical guidance (like an ILS) and has minimum...

Somewhat related (I posted this question today on Twitter). What is meant by the baro-vnav line here in the GAP GEN (Page 30): "Credit may be taken for VNAV/LNAV lines of minima when the aircraft is certified for barometric VNAV/LNAV". Does this mean that using an LPV with baro-vnav is considered an...

Ahhh thanks Sasquash! For the record, all the juicy details can be found here: http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/1998/1998-01-21/pdf/g2-13202.pdf Long story short: 25 Quebec City area mayors petitioned Transport Canada to shutdown the Lac St-Augustin water aerodrome by the year 2000 due to numerous nois...

Canadian Aviation Regulation 105.01(2) states: "No person shall conduct an aerial sightseeing flight, or any portion of an aerial sightseeing flight, in the control zone of the Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport unless the flight commences at that airport." I find it odd that this is a law, an...

I think investing in a GPS approach, as well as being able to sell Jet-A is a place to spend money. This will attract more traffic in the summer (especially having the ability to reful those helicopters). Secondly, lights. This will then allow you to expand your operating hours to after dark. Which ...

I vote to have this thread locked.. let's end it here. It's pointless and going nowhere.

Bah! ... I wish I was related. That way I can actually afford to fly

hahah oh man.. You're right. Wow, I totally didn't read that right.

Ok then.. nevermind!

Sorry I got everyone all worked up

Respond to this...why doesn't ckyz allow a standard left handed circuit flying out southbound smart ass. If your planes didn't make noise Markham would have no issue letting them fly over their residents. Instead Buttonville sends them the other way. Yeah, yeah we know TC handles this but when you ...

When I was getting my PPL at YKZ, there was a culture of responsibility and being courteous to those who live in the vicinity of the airport. No one was encouraged to fly low and over. +1 I can back up kzcvtm's statement. When I was getting my Multi rating, we did all the single engine stuff up nea...

Transport Canada shows 31 IFR rated balloon ratings.

(http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/s ... s-2300.htm)

I didn't think you were allowed to fly a balloon in IMC?

I don't even know what MarkhamResident's point is. I don't think anyone said the airport is closing because of lack of funding, or because they couldn't balance the books. The airport is owned by a private corporation, they can do whatever the hell they want. If someone is sick and tired of running ...

Avyonx, Thanks for the tip. I checked out fltplan.com and figured out how to "save to Garmin". A few issues: - For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to recognise any NDBs, even in the US. I tried a whole bunch of different idents. - Nomatter what the navaid type, the exported file always says VOR. Th...

Avyonx, I don't have access to a G1000.. hence my problem. I only have access to version 8.01 of the G1000 Simulator. Garmin doesn't seem to publish the XML specification for the FPL format anywhere, so I'm thinking I will need to reverse engineer it. So I was hoping that I could get a copy of a fil...

This sounds like an odd request. But I'm hoping someone can help me out. I cant seem to find any documentation online on the Garmin FPL format. This is the format that the G1000 (and possibly others) use to save and load flight plans. It's an XML file, but I can't find the schema anywhere. Would a g...

All of us know that there is more like an average of 1 / hour, so this is not a busy airport dude, there is WAY more than one take off and landing per hour at Buttonville. I assure you that during the summer months it is VERY close to one a minute. Indeed.. There have been times (2 or 3 when I've b...

well put hedley if I ever have to go over stuff because I forgot something I just go back to my old paper copy of the AIM most of the time if you forget and just want to look up something quick thats way easier than trying to find a computer with internet access and download this big PDF file only ...

Hmmm, how many GA airports is too many?? I don't think the issue is too many GA airports.. But not enough Commercial airports. A lot of commercial operators used YKZ. Now, their only options are YTZ and YOO. Think of all the media companies that fly out of YKZ, 640 News (I think they still do), CTV...

I guess this would be a good time to bring up: "what do you do if the pressure is so low/high you can't properly set your altimeter?" Check out RAC 12.12 Interesting how there is no procedure for pressures below 28.00" of mercury. I guess that's not a big deal, since it will always over read your al...

From what I understand, they have 600 acres to work with. All it would take is some $$$ to get bigger runway(s) and hangar space.

Brampton doesn't seem that much cheaper than TAL.

What about hiring an instructor thats not affiliated with any school/club? Would that be cheaper?

I spent some time searching on the site if anyone had posted anything similar... no dice, so here goes: I'm ready to get my IFR rating and am currently shopping around for the best rate. According to the Toronto Airways website, one could expect the rating to cost about $8,000 (http://training.toron...

Does anyone have a copy of the Vancouver/Victoria VTA? If so, would they be so kind as to scan, or take a photo, of the chart with all the VFR reporting points and their lat/longs?

Its in a box that has "vfr call ups/checkpoints" as the title. Save me the $30 to buy a chart here in Toronto
