it's not a bad idea to have one but it's not required for the ACP to give you a copy

Re: Does a IATRA mock test exist?2

+1 for Aerocourse. They don't have an IATRA specific book from what I remember though so their ATPL book would be your best bet

Re: Sunwest YYC

:shock: That's what I made as a BE3B FO there about15 years ago. Just to keep up with inflation that job would have to pay 50 k today. So pay has basically gone down 30% in that time. Is it still Pan Can Petroleum's old bird PCP? I believe PCP has made its way to Airco now. Been there for a couple ...

Re: Flight schools for Group 1 Instrument rating

Mitchinson flight centre in Saskatoon, they have two C310s. Went there to renew group 1 and got it all done in 24 hours. Could be worth the trip out

Re: Carson Air

Carson was awarded the BC medevac contract within the past year which opened up a few new bases for them and it doesn't seem like they've had much luck staffing those bases. Or the others for that matter. When I think of Carson I can't help but think of that Metro that flew into the North Shore moun...

Re: Canwest Air

As far as medevac jobs go, I'd say it's a pretty good gig. The king air side of things at canwest is a pretty legit operation. They have nice airplanes (new in 2017, proline fusion, a bunch of upgrades), lots of resources around the province such as AMEs at most of their 8 bases, hangars at all 8 if...

Re: Northern operator as a first job?

Go for it. It will probably be the most fun job you ever have. Tindi and Keewatin sound like solid options. Wasaya or Superior have good progression within the company too. Canwest in Alberta has a good government medevac contract for the next 5 years or so, they have good equipment and hire a fair ...

What approaches are needed now on the IPC? ILS and GNSS approaches? Thanks and what does the ride in the simulator look like these days? You need one traditional navaid approach and one GNSS. One of them has to be done without vertical guidance. I did one an IPC a week ago, did a SID, then unusual ...
