News for you Kafufo - YES THEY WILL and have! departure and arrival, when, count'em, 4 separate crews departed with an AWOS vis reported below take-off limits. Tower was open for 3 of the 4 departures. All 4 charged, 2 stuck. Same time frame, 2 arrivals, pireps given (obviously before the new glorio...

One more point no one has emphasized, is that TC considers "reward" to be the extra hours or flying time that you get by doing this trip. As a commercial operator who pays far far too much for the "privilege" of dealing with TC and all their rules (changable/interpretable at whim) I get really reall...

to SQ- checklist use varies company to company - some use it like during your training- read item, accomplish it, move to next item, others use it as a "check" after you've accomplished your flow. Just know how you're expected to use it (should be clear after reading the sop's for your aircraft). An...

to everyone who pm'd me with questions about the interview, and what to expect for groundschool, so sorry - didn't check pm's since just after posting, and have about 10 great (ok, some not-so-great, could have found the answers in this or other threads- )questions! Here's what I've said to one fort...

bet you all will be hearing by Wed at the latest whether you're in or not. Good Luck to all!

I've also seen some unbelievable stuff. In fact, had several instructors who had learned to fly and then worked at a "bigger" school who had never moved an airplane!!!????? much less added oil! unbelievable!!!! we don't assume anything anymore. teaching them to put the aircraft in and out the hangar...

Boy, Mighty Mouse must have had a "friend" who works here - obviously never has him/her self. To answer a few questions- Upgrade time- when spots open up. right now, the recent upgrades to F/O have been within 14-18 months (see next statement, brownie points go nowhere here) Yes, its a union - ALPA....

Kitchener was the 1st in Canada, helpful since Kitchener Aero Avionics (as does Brant Aero in Brantford) does tonnes of GPS installations, and has been swamped since last January doing the WAAS upgrade. Test flights are done right here, including Transport Canada's and Nav Canada's. These approaches...

tofo we'll give you points for letting us know that you've picked [/u]and will incorporate into your (and whatever crews you're responsible for) daily flying[/u] airmanship/safety lessons, not for knowing how to use a chart that we all should be able to use before the company sends us for our check ...

your mother/girlfriend/boss/passengers/insurance company etc., that's who, when the inevitible happens and they think "he could have made it if only he had used the whole strip" . Remember what your groundschool instructors from your PPL all the way up to (hopefully) company training tried to drill ...

come now, an empty T/O. hell even the shiitiest 100 with -20's will still climb on one. So I must ask why not with a T/O. Tofo, not to pick on you tonight, but you appear to have changed your tone about this subject after reading the excellent posts by several of the extremely experienced posters h...

Ok, hint, part of it will be knowledge of CARs - also, by now you should be able to find this kind of stuff on TC's horribly organized website you're kidding you don't know where to find the Study and Reference Guide for the ATPL, right? :shock: (if you want to prep for the exams, don't want to do m...

DON't DO THIS BY YOURSELF THE FIRST TIME! Seriously people. If you are likely to need to handprop (bush guys, no electrics aircraft, cold weather, etc) make sure you get someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING to show you before you find yourself on some strip (or lake) in the middle of nowhere with a ...

to clarify my 1st post - a class of medical is simply that - a standard. the various licenses and permits all require a particular class of medical. note that lilfssister quoted CAR 422.03, which states that an Air Traffic Controller must possess a Class 1 or Class 2 medical. If the Air Traffic Cont...

A class 2 medical validates a PPL or RPP. Its simple, the higher category medical also validates the lower class of license, and checking the back of your medical certificate, you will find the validity periods. Note that CPL or ATPL may exercise the privileges of a PPL after their medical validity ...

Search for previous threads on them - you'll get the idea

I too received the "application" form to apply to be registered as a Private Career College today. Unfortunately, having the normal massive amount of other things to attend to (charter quotes, student inquiries, maintenance issues, hangar shuffles, bookkeeping, etc) I glanced over the front page. I ...

Has anyone gotten a reply from letters or emails sent? It seems the only way you get to talk to these people is if they happen to answer the telephone. Several of you have asked why isn't TC getting involved- because Jim Dow, head of Flight Training - has a vested interest in this issue, and would l...

Sorry all for starting this thread then disappearing..... Much thanks to Clunk for his great ideas and drive, and Hedley for his assistance, and also thanks to Endless for moving the tread, hopefully this will bring more needed attention to the subject. I have not had the pleasure (?) of a reply fro...

Dr. Pope has moved -tel # still the same 519-578-3510 but now on Greenbrook dr between Westmount and Fischer-Hallman in the Forest Hill plaza. If you're used to Dr. C, there's not another out there like his medical. Probably lots faster, and any conversation more on topic though. Lots of pilots are ...
