Hi All, After searching CAR 604, failed to find a clear reference to the following..... For Private 604 Ops on Turbine Transport Category, does a person need to redo an initial type rating course if they've exceeded 24 months on a competency check ride? The CAR's make it clear that this is the case ...

He motioned the most desirable type to have if you fly in the USA as a contractor is the Challenger 300-350 and Global Express. I assume you cant fly in the USA as a contractor? Your type would be in demand south of the boarder but not so much overseas. Actually, FAA current on the 300/350 until Ja...

I'd consider Borek.

There was a time that they'd only rotate you In & Out of Alberta though. If you were out of province, you had to pay that last leg "out of pocket".

Anyone know if that's changed?

Thanks for your replies so far folks... I'm a little too old to do the 'roomate' thing now with Voyageur. Rotation is fine, I think it would be a problem with the living arrangements. As for Park. Yeah, I've heard of them... Everything I've seen from them though has typically been "EASA license" req...

Hi People, Does anyone have any leads on Canadian or foreign companies offering Canadians to fly anything, anywhere but on a rotation basis? 4 On- 4 Off. 6 On - 3 Off. Something of that nature. I'm not talking contracting. I'm talking 'Employee' status... Commute back and forth is covered. Recurrent...

I'm in tears! Not sure if I'm laughing or crying.
Welcome back!

Just the standard 703 stuff. Self dispatch, flight planning, run to the airport.... Probably 8 to 10 hour days. $300 for standby / reserve cause I already have full time salaried employment. Just lots of free time between flying days. So basically, when on standby for a call out can still get on wit...

Just trying to get an idea of the average daily rate for a small turbo-prop in Canada. Specifically, flying a Cheyenne / Conquest on a standby / on call basis.

I was thinking $300 / day for standby/reserve and $500 / day for flying.

Are these numbers reasonable? Never done freelance before.

Thanks.

I thought the 87 was so efficient it ran on unicorn-farts and rainbows?

It does, but they were running out of Unicorns!!!

Can somebody clarify what Transport considers 'Stabilized'? Mine is in a Challenger and it's the gyro type , vertically , mounted compass rose type. No liquid involved.... Is this a 'Stabilized' one?

Just a correction here.... Acass does not pay for pilot PPC's. The contractor him(her)self pays. Acass acts as a "broker" to get a preferential rate on a course but the cash comes from the pilot. Always has, always will.

Je vais "poster" une mise a jour bientôt. Cette semaine je devrait savoir si je serai poursuivi par mon ancien employeur.

12 years. But still working in Canada. Lots of time at home and flying just enough to keep sharp. Pretty much a part time job with a full time salary. But took 12 years to get to the good stuff...

748HO, you should step in here and give this man some advice.....

Same as all the above... Went to a substitute AME cause my regular guy was on vacation. She found an abnormality, don't have the term but it's something about one of the valves closing slightly late. Scared the crap out of me! My regular guy came back and said not to worry, but his machine picked up...

Disagree with the landing comment. Some of the most skilled guys I've been paired with occasionally have slammed one down. Also, the weakest guys out there occasionally pull-off one of those "Did we actually land yet" touchdowns. All depends on the circumstances of the day.
