MATS Document NavCanada SHARE PDF

Can anyone share the Manual of Air Traffic Services (MATS) from Nav Canada? I contacted them and they refuse to share it. It’s a public document in every other country I’ve looked into: USA (7110), UK (MATS), Australia (MATS). I just want to reference it when I have ATC questions just like I referen...

Re: NEW ATPL Requirements RESTRICTED ICAO

I agree with the changes, except for the fact that I still need to do a skill test for the restricted ATPL. That's ridiculous. 2 skill tests... Why even do a skill test if "‘Skill test does not meet ICAO requirements".

There should be 1 skill test in 2 crew aircraft.

NEW ATPL Requirements RESTRICTED ICAO

If I understand this correctly, I can just do the SAMRA/SARON while meeting the hours requirement (1500h TT, 100h night etc) without ANY skill test, and I will get an ATPL sticker saying “Skill test does not meet ICAO requirements.”. I will get the ICAO Skill when I''m essentially at an airline? Is ...

Night Rating Aeroclub? LEGAL?

Is it legal to do a night rating at an Aeroclub that doesn't have an AOC or a private operator registration? My interpretation of CARs 406.03(2)(a) makes me think yes, because there is an an "OR" at the end of the paragraph, meaning the aeroclub doesn't need an AOC or a private operator registration...

Re: Nav to USA? Instructing in USA possible? Canada FTU

We're a large school and unfortunately, the CFI and accountable executive provide very little to no supervision with little guidance. That's really alarming. Yup! It's alarming for me too!

Nav to USA? Instructing in USA possible? Canada FTU

I work at an FTU in Canada. I'm thinking of doing a Navigation to the USA with a student pilot (Dual Instruction). Is that legal?

The FTU is based in Canada. The plane is registered in Canada and it would be for the issuance of a Canadian License (PPL)

Thanks,

Re: want BUY Aerocourse DIGITAL ATPL Ground School Manual

It's about 700 pages and it's quite detailed. I assume it's much more detailed than the seminar. Similar to how From the Ground U...

TC EXAMS CHANGE How Often?

Just wondering how often does TC change their written exams (PPAER, CPAER, INRAT, IATRA, AIRAF, AIRAT, FITEN, etc)?

Do they change them often? I head on things like the IATRA, it essentially the same.

Making flashcards to help me stay current and help others study.

Just wondering if the Human Factors publications by transport canada are any good? I heard good things, but they are from 1999 so might be a bit outdated.

Hi, doing my instructor rating. Just curiously exploring the CARs.

My question is, what are the exceptions to this rule? C...
