One would hope that if you have an ATPL 100% would be able to do it.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

the key word being "hope"

But getting an ATPL is a matter of writing two exams, not stick and rudder ...

Therefore it would follow that having a Canadian ATPL means very little as far as ones flying skills are concerned?

Would you put it.

Just above the skills of a PPL?

Just above the skills of a PPL who passed the exams?

There has to be a base line.

What? They finally did away with that pesky hour requirement for the ATPL? Man, I HAVE been out of Canada too long!

Good riddance. I always thought that was a nuisance anyway.
