Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
I'm just left questioning why, with all his experience, he didn't just write the SAMRA/SARON and get it over with. Why be so dishonest and fraudulent about it? Seems like it would be easy but one look at his logbook if he was a captain already and it would be pretty obvious something was off probab...

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
ATPL skill test was never able to be done in a redbird or other FTD
IPC must be in an aircraft
For co-pilots, the PPC rule will change to allow a PIC PPC to obtain ATPL

Re: Trying to convert Canadian Commercial AMEL to FAA, confused on multi transfer
in Canada all flight tests are dual and all time with an instructor
but in the states you can log PIC if you are the sole manipulator of the controls and the instructor or examiner logs PIC at the same time as well as they have responsibility for the flight

Re: NEW ATPL Requirements RESTRICTED ICAO
There is really no change practically but a note on your licence. The restriction applies outside of canada but you cannot captain a 2 crew anyway without the proper PPC

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
The restriction only applies outside of Canada
also, the company cannot make you the Captain without a captain PPC so essentially the restriction means nothing

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
The ‘fix’ is to update to the 21st century and recognize or require an ‘airline transport’ component. So an aircraft type that requires two pilot operations. That will typically mean Part 703/704/705, corporate, or military experience. That is the good part. But the licence is not an ‘Airline Trans...

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
I heard that to get your A's you'll now need to be left seat certified for a 2 crew airplane with 2 engines. Doesn't that mean any captain on a kingair or pc12 is now SOL if they want to go to AC or any other airline that requires an ATPL? Does that mean everyone flying cargo/charter/medevac is now...

Re: Temporary 'Foreign' Pilots??

Re: CPL instrument flight time
can do 10 dual instrument, 10 simulator
most people going for career in aviation will do everything simultaneously and wont be far off from the 40
if doing afterwards the instrument time still counts towards the 40

Re: PTR questions about finishing a CPL in Canada from FAA-Land
What i mean is dual time in aircraft is counted as a part of the 35 hours of flight time - within that is the 20 instrument requirement which allows for 10 simulator but 10 simulator is not flight time so that helps meet the 20 but not the 35 of actual flight time.

Re: PTR questions about finishing a CPL in Canada from FAA-Land
1. The night training time can be counted towards the 35 - it is post PPL training and part of the CPL training program. 2. Yes - actual flight time counts towards 35 hour, not simulator 3. The term commercial training is a loose term, basically is post PPL training, the school can call it what it w...
