They will rotate captains from anywhere in the world, as long as it is one of their scheduled destinations.

All reasonable mature responses. Ours is like a shootout in the Wild West. The show gets better. Now backtracking with a...

Re: Flight School in Toronto

If it helps your decision, there is now no charge for the YTZ ferry. The disadvantage of YTZ is the distance to the practice area, but that travel time CAN be used effectively, if instructor and student are willing and moderately resourceful. An advantage (which is also a bit of a disadvantage) is t...

Re: PT6-28 Question

Prop lever position should have no effect on start parameters. The props won't start unfeathering until there is oil pressure, which won't be high enough until after the engine is self sustaining. On early serial numbers, where the oil pressure gauge is AC powered, the props unfeathering is the best...

The question is why do you want a float rating? If it's to get a job flying floats, the rating won't get you a job and it would be pretty dumb to be flying floats with marginal training. If you just want "sea" printed on your license, than you're wasting a lot of money. If you want the rating so yo...
