Re: Weird situation, looking for help....

It may by TC's problem in that they are responsible for the proper issuance of a licence based on the reported hours the applicant reports. Certainly it is going through the extra works to validate the hours, but there are still some ways to try and figure this one out. First off the Daily flight sh...

Re: 2 Air Transat pilots charged with being impaired

A lot of speculation as to what exactly happened in this case. A quick web search shows that Scottish law are similar to what we have in Canada in that the crown is required to provide the defense with a "disclosure" package which includes all the evidence available to the police authorities. This i...

Re: DUI Conviction and license suspension.

Just to clarify a bit further if, at the time of the impaired driving violation, a Canadian police officer is aware of the fact that you have a pilot licence, he may apply, at the discretion of the court, for a suspension order that apply to the pilot licence as well. This is done by a police reques...

There are many TC inspectors reading this forum and as previously mentionned by Gilles, the same TC inspectors were gagged from discussing foreign pilots issue outside TC. It would be interesting if someone could snatch up the famous legal opinion from the Dep...

Cat, you are indeed 100% right. They are both regulators.

Furthermore, no one should doubt your words on that topic, in light of the ''personal'' interaction you experienced with the whole process!

Re: Ottawa RIver Departure under the Bridge

It is interesting to see the amount of support for this pilot taking off and being airborne, way before he got the bridge. Is the issue really the ability to actually take off and land or whether the take off and landing was legal? I think not. The issue is whether or not it is appropriate to fly un...

Re: Private airstrip in a muncipality that prohibits it

If you're up for a big read, there is a supreme court deicision that applies to a similar case:

(Johannesson v. Municipality of West St. Paul, Manitoba)

It may be usefull in your case.
