What did you decide to do?

I once considered doing the same thing, but due to the reasons posted and the amount of equipment and tools needed i decided a shop can do a better inspection in a hangar, Also the shops and AME's who do the inspection with a pen could be my competition, difficult to compete against someone who neve...

You would have to look in the Maintenance manual or type certificate, some aircraft can be operated without a spinner providing you remove the backing plate, some cannot.

reasons for removal could be cracking, i have seen a lot of cracked spinners and backing plates.

Right or wrong some companies offer different Per Diem depending on if they look after accommodations or if you do.

I joined, there are some perks, magazine subscriptions, discounts on insurance etc, I also hope they can have more input when fatigue regulations for us when and if they are developed, I hope they can have some input on how regulations are changed and communicate to the industry how to implement cha...

Get a job at a helicopter operation, they send you on a type course and that is it no separate license anymore.

I am not sure how the job market is for helicopter AME's but for fixed wing there are lots of openings

I suspect the intercept was there so there were some witnesses and perhaps a reliable recording in the event things ended horribly. great job by the crew, Those cold beers are well deserved! As for the possibility of the ailerons being reversed. whenever i rigged any flight control or was asked to p...

What course are you taking?

I assume its TCCA approved

it looks like it matters who your TC inspector is. maybe find someone in your area who just went threw the process and ask them.

the additional tasks i had recorded meant nothing to TC, just the ones on the magic spread sheet

it too me nearly 5 years, transport wanted certain taks from different "types" of aircraft i worked on example wheel change on single piston, multi piston, single turbo prop multi turbo prop. imagine having to do that for the majority of the tasks. It was a battle,I'ive heard of guys just putting on...

Interesting It would be great if one of the AME associations or all of them could do a salary survey similar to what the AMT magazine did years ago, maybe they still do and i just cannot find it. If i recall they had region and large Airline, regional, corporate, and GA it is a bit complicated with ...

or you could go away from the oh mighty GTA and make more money with your M1

The best way the ICS course works is if you are an E licensed person and want a M or you already have a job and a AMO of flying club, and need it to get a license. I know of a few you got a start like this, first they got a job then they liked it then took the ICS course and eventually got a AME lic...

True about YKF i am not sure how much flying would be done in the night which is what they dislike the most. as long as deliveries and testing take place after 8am people should not complain. I think most of thier past complaints were when Nolonor's old 737's took off around 7am YQG not sure if the ...

I imagine there is a list of Ontario and probably other province air ports who are trying to convince them where to move YKF YQG to name 2 more with a decent size runway and lots of empty land

Interesting the two groups always mentioned how poopy the other companies metro's were... its a metro...

I wonder what the union thinks of this

I saw this AME posting for YQT and noticed the job is at Bearskin but the contact is a Perimeter email address, are they merging the maintenance?

Sadly after years of comuting if this position is located where i need it to be i might just see what they have to say.

my head is down and shaking but I am tired...

I am a bit ashamed

I have been interested in that course in the event there is an another unscheduled change in my employment situation i was going to take it to refresh my memory, any details would be great.

Here is a link

it is fact

however like most TC links this may not be available in 5 min

I just got an email from Transport, it looks like they are changing the Renewal of the AME license from 5 to 10 years, and no more picture. This is great the picture was always a PIA to get even when TC took it last time i had to go back to get it done again, i know i am ugle but i did not think i w...

If you really want it go for it but remember starting pay is not the best if the aircraft is outside in the freezing cold because there is no hangar space or no hangar ten you are too. Work hard stay away from the BS don't let the negative ones get into your head and things get better sometimes quic...

I have always thought Brantford flight center or flying club or aviation college was a good operation and one i might end up at couple of questions that might help people decide if they want to apply, /there us a lot of movement in the industry right now 1)Pay range? 2) Working hours? 3)Benefits? 4)...
