Personally I wouldn't use a Instructor that's logging over 1k a year, to be a good instructor takes a bit out of you, and I question the quality of any instructor who considers 1k a year not flying enough. Also if you're not logging a hour or so of ground per flight, you're not doing a very good jo...

Maybe I read that wrong, but the overweight and aft CG were of course not good, but they were not the cause of the crash, seems choosing a improper altitude for that flight and waiting till the last minute to climb were the cause of the crash. As much as I enjoy flying low on floats, with the visibi...

If an instructor is only getting 800 to 1000 hrs per yr perhaps they should look at working at a busier school. Or a school that doesn't overhire number of instructors. Of course there is no guaranteed hours due weather and whatnot, but that's fairly low yearly numbers. Personally I wouldn't use a ...

You really don't get it. It's not about knowing exactly how many rivets are on a B777 rudder, or being able to break down the cause of the thunderstorm --on paper-- to the atomic level, its about operational experience, it's about being PIC, as in no nanny safety net, being the first and the last wo...

Sounds like it's more a problem with the people being stupid than the exercise. Well in your expert opinion you must be so able to assess exercise routines from 2000 km away. I’ll let all the kinesiology students know that you are gonna put them out of work. God i just love asshat posters who know ...

Passing a ride? Who cares? It's the experience gained in those 1500hrs that says something, with a real ATP you need a good amount of PIC time, cross country, night, instrument and so on, if you were a idiot you would likely have perished or had enough of a close call or two to get your ticket pull...

^That What do you even mean by this? Are you admonishing or praising his statement? I know you're more eloquent than that. I mean I agree with his statement, flying cargo, people, puppies, nuns, axe killers, doesn't make a bit of difference, the flight is safe and prudent or it's not, what's in the...

Thought about it, you really don't have much experience in the industry do you? And yes, you can see the quality of their hours and how they were logged based on their resume. You may very well have more experience than me, but I do hold an ATPL. And from my personal experience, passing both the AT...

My university transcript states the courses I took, when I took them, the percentage I received, the letter grade I received, the class average, and my standing relative to my peers. What does your ATPL say? Does somebody who has 2000 hours instructing VFR in CAVOK get the same ATPL as someone flyi...

Do you have a pulse lol

Spoke to CP who spoke to captain. He leveled off at 800ft shortly after takeoff due to the cloud, then climbed to 1500 shortly after and had ground in sight at all times. (I was more concerned about hitting the obscured hills). CP says this captain is consciencious about safety. I don't know what t...

OK with freight; not OK (morally, at least) with non-pilot pax. They're not capable of understanding the significantly-elevated risk of a flight like this vs other kinds of scheduled operations, even if it will usually turn out OK. A non-crew pilot passenger can evaluate for herself, and give infor...

I used to work at Walmart Canada head office (non-pilot). Knew the chief pilot and low-down is you are either on a Monday-Wednesday sched with 1-2 overnights or Thur-Fri sched (home Thursday night). Mostly all across Canada sometimes with many legs. Only U.S. trips were to Home office in Arkansas. ...

3 year aviation college diploma (paid by the government). Honestly, it does not make me a better pilot, it only shows that I can learn.......... And learning how to fly, take a multi thousand pound chunk of metal and hurtle it through the sky, zero viz, read weather, performance calculation, etc th...

Presenting facts not in evendence.

How does someone taking the first job link them to breaking regs or paying bonds?

I agree with patience being good in moderation

That.

I don't see a problem ether, unless this was a 500nm night flight or some something.

CSE4 would be the closest IFR strip. If it worked with the DZ and it's open, weather permitting you could shoot the approach into CSE4 and break off for CSN3, with it being the absolute closest to piedmont https://preview.ibb.co/f8mufc/IMG_1729.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/iwQLLc/IMG_1730.jpg https://...

Just carry the totals for everything over, I'd also scan and upload your old log into google drive or your iPad or some thing

Because of the marketing for kids to dump themselves into debt for a degree with next to no ROI

In my interactions; I find it amusing -- especially in Canada, far less in the US or overseas -- How much importance -- often its arrogance -- folks put on their degrees. The irony is those same people live in a shit job, while many dropouts like myself have founded companies. (or achieved top leve...
