Education is obviously a desirable goal for everyone, however there are many ways to educate ones self. I fail to see why learning to fly using the " old flight school route " is not a very viable route to take, I went that route with very little formal education and did O.K. as a pilot. Conversely...

What most of us need to realize is that this will likely never change. In fact, I have a feeling it will get worse. When flight schools are flat out lying to people, saying that there is a shortage of pilots or some crap like that just to make a buck, you know that we are not a "socially responsible...

I was remembering back a few years ago when I was in Smithers, interviewing for their low time program. The people I was interviewing with asked me if I read AvCanada and if I posted on there. Of course, I said yes to both. They then proceeded to ask me what my ID was! I said to them "thats the bea...

Is that even legal?

You should have saved that for April Fools!

Thanks guys, it has been very slow, hopefully it will pick up soon!

Its a good gig, well paid, but you can't be friends with Cat Driver anymore after you take this job...

I have read of a guy in the States who did his PPL in 9 days. Its possible.

That was stupid!

Do not panic! I am pumping out fresh meat into the industry for you all.

Become a doctor (CAME) and then you can charge over $100 for a so called "medical" With that kind of money, you can then buy your own airplane and fly for fun. Oh yeah, I also forgot, you get to live a good life too.

tango01, you just agreed with magyar....and now you agree with Cisbour. Now THAT'S what I call whoring yourself out. Everybody is a economy expert. I'll say to you, what I say to ALL my pax's.....SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND HOLD YOUR F*ING NUTS. Enjoy the tsunami we call aviation. I did not agree with C...

This should give you an idea of the IAPs.

To Loopa: comparing things to europe is a something I don't wanna hear anymore. I'm french and got licences in France, finished my course in june. And I'm in Canada now, through the FI rating. Why am I here? simply to avoid the dreadful jobmarket back in europe. Somebody right here was talking abou...

The Pultz Flight Instructor Manual is excellent.

VFR Holding Procedures "When it is required by traffic, VFR flights may be asked to ORBIT visually over a geographic location, VFR checkpoint or call-up point (when these are published in the CFS or VTA charts) until they can be cleared to the airport. If the request is not acceptable, pilots shoul...

I heard at least 1 aircraft got repo'd. TC shows they have over 40. Should be no problem... Usually it is a problem. Once one creditor seizes assets, the rest are usually very fast to follow. Think of C3. Glasgow airport seized a 330 and within a few hours, every other aircraft was seized. Okay so ...
