I was just thinking.. wouldn't you need a lot of capital to operate a plane for over a year without taking ANY payments?

Sounds like a nice screwed up situation. Hire a lawyer. Expensive, but if you have 50% of profits coming to you, then could be worth it eh..?

You will love this then. I'm not sure what kind of increased security this was called, but here it is.. I was working as a fire alarm tech, doing the inspection at an airport. My guide was one of the main maintenance men, and had his appropriate ID tag on. I had a visitor ID tag. Coming around a cor...

I loved spins from the first one. I loved em so much that one day my inst. said "Do a stall", and I THOUGHT I heard "Do a spin". Its funny how they start the same way :twisted:

Oops, sorry Mr. Instructor.

On the one hand everyone says that heavy equipment mechanics, welders and industrial elect's make great money, but they are classed the same as us - unrestricted.

I did some searching starting with Norskman's links, which all seems to indicate that a licenced AME is a skilled trade. Branching out from that I looked at the apprentice end and found http://tradeability.ca/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabId=3382 Which starts off as : "Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Appren...

I don't think its that far fetched compared to using heli's for traffic. Twins can be cheaper to operate.

Takes money to make money, or in this case it takes airplanes to make money.

Thanks for pointing this information out to me! I have failed to read the missing information, even on the sask apprenticeship web site.

I posted on the poll as well, since I'm not sure which place would be more appropriate. I've heard allegations on this site that AME is not considered a skilled trade.

Maybe I'm missing something here... but shouldn't we first be concerned about *flying* something outside of CofG limits before we think about spinning it? Well, in the C172, you can do spins in the utility category, but not normal cat. So flying outside of utility CofG would be normal, just not spi...

I inquired to Cessna as to why that backseat limitiation is there. This is the reply: 172's are wonderful airplanes and have spectacular spin characteristics but they are airplanes. Spins are only allowed in the Utility category and in the case of the S' models it is difficult to keep the weight and...

Use the blower to remove the white stuff. It makes for a very clean, non slippery surface. Quite effective.

From your last post you said you're still in PPL land. I won't try to teach you on here, but what you saw in that "spin" video is the incipient stage of a spin , that was nowhere near a spin . Some flight schools also say that once you're done you can fly for air canada, you believe them as well? F...
