Instructor Class 4 to Class 3 Upgrade Paperwork help

I am not sure what the process to upgrade from class 4 to class 3 is. I meet all the requirements. Do I just submit the "Instructor's Training Record While Under Direct Supervision" form to Marie-Josée Drouin (I'm in the Québec region)? https://www.goc411.ca/fr/149574/Marie-Josee-Drouin https://tc.c...

WHEN quit Flight Instructor? Time required?

Hi, I’m a flight instructor with 420h total time. I love instructing, but I find the current school I’m in, has a toxic environment. About how many hours would be a good place to quit to fly something bigger like PC12 etc? I heard ~500h is not bad. Don’t mind moving My other option is to apply to ot...

Re: want BUY Aerocourse DIGITAL ATPL Ground School Manual

Is the ground school manual the material that’s covered in the class? Not 100% sure, since I haven't attended the ATPL seminar, but I have the 3rd edition physical book. 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.

Human Factors For Aviation Book

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 I heard good things, but they are from 1999 so might be a bit outdated. Also, does the content in the Advanced Handbook cover everything in the other ones or do I need to buy all 3? https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/pu...

Hi, doing my instructor rating. Just curiously exploring the CARs. My question is, as a CPL holder, it is my understanding that you need to operate within an Organization holding AOC to be able to exercise your privileges of a commercial pilot. My question is, what are the exceptions to this rule? C...

Re: Class 1 instructor Teach Class 4 NOT at FTU? Possible

As a flight instructor you should have a good working knowledge of the CAR's and in particular Parts 4,6 and 7. When researching the CAR's you need to define the question. So go to Part 4 and look for what CAR's specifies for, the requirements of the flight instructor rating, the privileges of each...
