hope this helps!

I don't think you have to do it through an approved school.... flight training falls under federal jurisdiction. So as for a flight test, provinces wouldn't have much to say... pretty sure

The industry Canada side of it is a complete and utter joke. I mean, you can either have oral questions, just the exam (so the examiner who doesn't give a d*** never even has to hear the candidate), or a combination of both. So the language proficiency exam I guess compliments this (like a check on ...

Well, it pretty much always depends... from what i've seen, some people never could get away from it, others got used to the flying after a while and then had no more problems and some others eat certain foods, vitamins, water or whatever else could work for them... In my opinion, your best bet woul...

Well, if you do go in Courtenay and looking for low costs of living, there is the Comox campground. It is 15 minutes aways from the airpark and I know that instructors doing the cadet thing get a deal. You could probably get something like that if you tell them you are there to do your PPL. Extremel...

Well, I'm just looking for inputs as to what would a good multi-engine plane to do training in... baron, seminole, comanche, aztec, etc.... Thanks in advance for your input!

cessnafloatflyer definitely has a point here.... and you can see also some posts on the job ads page that are starting to stress more and more they want professinal competent flight instructors who will do good jobs.... More and more I hear students and other instructors seeing alot of class 4s and ...

I know for myself it is the mediocre pay for the stupid amount of responsibility. I mean, right now I am making a confortable amount, got very lucky, and I am going for my class 2... Hopefully next few months. But wether or not I am going to make a life career in it depends how the work conditions g...

tout ça revient au coût... tout simplement, le CQFA, comme dit plus haut, offre une formation au prix du CEGEP. Je suis présentement instructeur à Calgary et l'argent que je vois passer, incroyable! Évidemment en pilotage, mais n'importe qu'elle formation collégiale les étudiants ici vont débourser ...

adam is right, you wouldn't be able to find a float plane which is approved for spins.. and I wouldn't suggest doing spiral dives in a floatplane either... floats are quite heavy and i don't see why you should risk the extra load factor...

well, the west coast is a pretty good bet, even winter, if you have low ceilings you can still do touch and goes, navs, etc.... and also, you can't do all of yyour cpl on floats but a good majority yes.... I would recommend courtenay flight center, although don't know if their float program is still...

I would agree for sure that the flight school could be missing info to send, but I mean the instructor should go over with you to make sure that all the info has been submitted clearly and completely. Personnaly for me, it has been all TC, they wouldn't give me my commercial because I was missing .2...

Here it is ground time for the full flight, instructor gets paid normally... although there is a warning and then a meeting with the CFI the second time. Personnally, I think that if the students cancels for some stupid reason like they forgot or they don't feel like coming in, then charge them full...

I believe if you need them, you can also use hearing aids... have no reference to back this up though.

cpl_atc, did you have a poh supplement for the float? because it does say for WHEELS no more than 10... how about floats? usually a few things changes when you go from wheels to floats.. Now, one thing we must all remember, if the POH says no more than 10 degrees, we cannot use more than 10 degrees ...

Hedley makes a good point whereas flaps create more drag, and if you look in a 172 POH (there might be something similar in other POH) there is a little table with stall speeds with flaps. For instance, in the 1973 POH for a C-172 No flaps stall speed: 57 mph CAS 10 deg. of flaps Stall speed: 52 mph...

If you are on EI they have a program to 'go to school to get work' where they pay for training if you have a job waiting after... they paid for half of my rating... but since you are working part time, I guess you don't have it... Bank of Montreal is also pretty good about it, had less problems with...

hang on a second, so the tribunal is part of TC?? isn't that a gross conflict of interest???? just like saying the guy stealing bread is judged and tried by the baker, please correct me if I am wrong!

ah, et exact air ont une grande rotation d'instructeurs, mais ils engagent pas n'importe qui par exemple, sont fiable en mon opinion

Tu pourrais aussi essayer le CQFA, soit par le CEGEP ou bien par le privé, tu peux payer pour avoir des heures, et leur cour d'hydravion assez bien, malgré que leurs c-185 sont sur amphib...... tou dépendemment ce que tu veux faire ça peut être une bonne ou une mauvaise chose. Le privé pas sûr c'Est...

Well, you can try in courtenay (courtenay flight center), they have a c-180, and a 15/25/50 hours course. Don't do just the minimum 7h, like cat driver hinted, impossible to get all the knowledge to be truly safe in 7h.... they should really get someone competent to revise that minimum in TC. And in...

Oh, and for a freelance, check the flight clubs, might be some there or members that are instructors that may be willing to freelance for ya.

Well, CPL will cost you over 30 000$, and the course in chicoutimi is 3 years, with average rent of a 4 1/2 around 550$ all inclusive (two years ago), so split it with a roommate is it is not much at all... plus, at the CQFA, you get top quality training on great machines. If you want to do your hel...

I think you are right on the money mcrit about the INTENTION of the spin, to recognize and avoid... and if you look at the objective of exercise 13, well, it is (paraphraing here) 'to get the student to learn and to recognize and avoid the conditions which could lead into a spin'.. And congratulatio...

Good step in contacting TC, but don't get your hopes up that they will actually do anything about. For instance, Air Satellite is a charter company that is really sketchy, and after a couple of maintenance/pilot training accidents, well, they were still in business, not sure now but the point being,...
