Re: Interesting airplane ads

After the 2008 economic crash there was a lot of pressure from investors for companies to sell their jets. A guy in the states set up brokerage with a unique specialty. You paid him a monthly fee to not sell your jet. And that slots right in at the number three position in the “business ideas I wis...

Re: Skydive Toronto Jump Pilot Course

Avoid it. It's a scam and a well-known one at that. They take your money to "train" you on a Cessna 182 (as if it's any different than the planes you've flown previously), and then only hire certain people. I remember hearing about this scam years ago when I was in flight school.

Re: Import aircraft for owner maintenance category questions

Another option is to make the necessary repairs in the United States and have your uncle's wife register it in the United States. Fly it to Canada, pay GST/HST on its value, and operate it that way.

Dr. Gilmore in Vaughn will do them (he's been doing them since last year). He's also very reasonable in price.

Re: FL430 for commercial airliners

Unless you have a 4 year degree or some sort of US status, there's little chance. If you do have a 4 year degree, apply to a University if they're willing to hire you as an instructor/teacher under a TN status. It must be a university, not a uni affiliated Part 141 school.
