A NIMBY is someone who gets a good deal on a piece of property and then complains about the reason they got a good deal.

I'm imagining owning an airstrip. Seems nice in my head. It might as well be on a nice island while I'm at it.

Everyone I know who has their own strip spends more time cutting grass and plowing snow than flying

Lol. so true!

Students should complain to the Superintendent of the Private Career Colleges Authority. He can force the college to refund fees, and ultimately to shut down the school. For Sault? I don't think so. Government funded colleges (ie. Sault, Confed, etc) are exempt from the Private Career Colleges Act....

PM sent

Sorry, I'm to lazy to find the reference. It was being proposed when I registered mine. I got my registration in just before the rules came into force.

Of course I could be imagining things....

The rules surrounding aerodrome registration have changed significantly over the last few years. Due to pressure from municipalities, it is now necessary to do public consultations and environmental assessment prior to registration, depending on the location. http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2016/2...

On a related sidebar note, does anyone know why TC is against developing a Candian CASS program for jump seaters, or better yet, integrating into the American CASS program, for crossborder continental J/S opportunities as a possible backup option (at Captain's discretion) when loads are tight? We a...

res judicata

The irony is killing me.

If you read the decision, you will see that the outcome turned exclusively on legal procedure, not on the merits of the underlying issues—procedure before the Commission in how they assess the complaints before them. Umm, that’s how judicial reviews work- it’s not an avenue to re-litigate your case...

I honestly don't know how long you have between writing the P-star and having a Student Pilot Permit issued (I do issue Student Pilot Permits), but I would suspect that if it took you two years to progress from writing the exam to getting a permit issued, you have some serious problems to deal with...

I am considering an O300 powered C172,

That's a really pricey engine come overhaul time.

In Canada, it's an ATPL.

You don't get ACP privileges with an instructor rating.

You start at class 4 instructor and need 100 hrs, 3 solo recommends and 3 successful flight test recommends, all under supervision at a flying school, to move to class 3. Class 3 let's you instruct unsupervised.

Has any one else had issues with their local PE's? All of our PE's are associated with the local flying college. They seem to be interested in only doing college flight tests, and aren't that available for outside flight tests. When they are available, at least one is now charging $400. When they do...

20 years ago insuring that kind of arrangement might have been straightforward. I've never seen it being an issue on certified airplanes. The premium isn't even that much higher. My friends with a Citabria on floats/skis were paying $2200/yr and all they had were a SPP. I did a seaplane rating on a...

Dessicant plugs are good, but you also need to block off the exhaust so that no air gets in.

Yes, you are correct.

Hey all,

Just got PFO'd from AC. Anyone ever been PFO'd, re-applied and got a job?

Thanks,

Every Jazz pilot from c. 2005-2010.

I disagree. You'll know right away when TC refuses to register the airplane. It happened to me once. I bought an airplane from a guy who "repo'd" it from a flying school. I needed to send in both bills of sale: 1- bill of sale from flying school to insurance company. 2- bill of sale from insurance c...

I never did, I just looked on the transport Canada website to make sure he was the owner, and got an AME to give the plane a quick look over. You're confusing "title" (ie ownership) with "registration". Common mistake. A leasee would show up on the TC website and could sell you the airplane. Then, ...

Yep. Sad but true. Best way to run them once overhauled is on condition. Run them until they start making metal or are losing power. You can probably get 2x the overhaul time out of them. By then, most major components (crank, cam) may be beyond repair, but you've still saved a bunch of money compar...

The biggest peak is in 2037.

My formal education consisted of having completed grade eight. Well that explains a lot. Relax, I'm just joking. A grade 8 education back then is probably what a grade 12 education is today. Most grade 8's can't even string a sentence together these days. The university graduates can't even do grad...

That's a really dumb decision by the company. If I was the pilot I'd send the stuff off to the company's own insurance. Since employees are always covered (vicarious liability), the insurance company would likely have to provide the pilot representation and the company would be the one footing their...

And there was the crew who wrote off an RJ in YYZ due to a hard landing and I believe both of them were still flying with Jazz after that one. Captain stayed at Jazz but forced onto Dash 8 because of this. Rumour is FO went to WJ. Captain was a fantastic guy. He just made a dumb mistake and coupled...

Maybe, but a thought that might put you at ease a bit more: in the end it is all about money. If you crash an A320, you will never make enough money to put a dent in that damage, even if you caused the damage. You'd probably be in more trouble if you crash the boss's 206 due to your gross negligenc...
