Re: faculty of flight

I've had the pleasure of attending several courses taught by Terry and Dominique over the years. If this online course has their name attached to it I'm sure it's of the absolute highest calibre.

Happy studying!

Re: BE02 Type Rating Question...

CMA provides C/D differences training during groundschool, so their licenses are not restricted to only the D model.

Re: Low energy go-arounds?

We practice low energy go-arounds regularly in the simulator (due to Fredricton as previously mentioned). On the 767 the low energy go-around is conducted the same way a normal go-around is conducted. It's not uncommon to have the wheels touch the runway on this type of manoeuvre (at least in the si...

AeroCourse puts on a 2 day CRM course for BCIT. I would call Rick and see what he could offer.

Re: Class 1's in Vancouver

Paul is a class 1. He did my instructor rating over 10 years ago, and from what I hear he's still training instructors for PFC.

Hold Clearance Wording

I'm looking for some information regarding ATC procedures for wording of a hold clearance. Is there a standard type of phrase used to distinguish between holding on a radial versus holding on an inbound track? If cleared to hold on a radial, must the clearance be "cleared to hold on the 150 degree r...

Clarence and B-rad are absolutely right...it is complete BS. To specify that the training must be completed at that particular school is essentially saying that if you want to even apply as a flight attendant at NC you must come up with 200 bones for a course that won't give you any sort of TC licen...

El Comat Correct...After 2 years on flat salary all new hires placed on the 320 will be on formula pay, because they will not be in the position group. The only pilot positions that form the "position group" are embraer FOs and all RPs. Those pilots currently flying as RPs and embraer FOs will remai...

I agree disco, there are sure to be many 320 courses for the foreseeable future. I don't think that it's the only type of course new hires will see though... Keep in mind that since the last bid, there have been 100+ pilots hired and assigned to RP and embraer positions, who will have their first ch...

Both Rezassassin and Premium have valid arguments about CMA. As Rezassassin said the wages are low, especially when compared to what similar companies are paying (pasco, thunderbird, cariboo, etc). It doesn't really matter how well you manage your money...if you're living in YVR or YYC on 22500 a ye...
