Well to.close out the thread, he's upset but I told him this isn't a pleasurable flight for me, we're operating to his location to do the thing he wants to do, so he could either pay for the rental or rent a car.

Thanks for helping work through the regs on this!

I’m curious, are you building time at all, maybe he thinks he’s helping you with that, if it were me I’d be telling my buddy he pays for the costs or I’m busy that day Nope, not time building towards anything. I've got all the hours I'd ever need. And yeah, I told him that a one way car rental is w...

Doesn't sound like a 'friend' to me ;-) Yeah...normally he's not this inconsiderate. Since you're not the owner of the aircraft, you'll be stuck in option 1. You can't fly for hire or reward. Which brings us back to the age old discussion if free flying hours are hire or reward. Last few times this...

Hi everyone, A friend of mine wants to fly out somewhere to buy a car and drive it home. He asked me to fly the rental plane home for him though to help him out. But the kicker is he is saying I have to pay for the hours on the RTB and fuel because I'm a PPL. I have more than enough time for any rat...

Thanks!

For #2 - are you saying that the dual flight time in an airplane for my IR counts towards the 35, or because I have an IR that the 20 hours are deemed "completed" and I'm fine to just get 15 more dual hours under supervision?

Hi! So after a bit of work I figured out how to convert my FAA IR to a TC IR and I've got the sticker to prove it! I'm going through the CARs/ACs to try and figure out what I'll need to finish my CPL in Canada and am looking for some help. I'm Canadian, did my PPL and Night Rating in Canada, did my ...

To close the loop on this. I found an FAAIA study guide from TC at the end of the INRAT study guide. I would say studying all of that nukes the amount they expect, and I wasted a lot of time. Don't focus on all of the things that a VFR PPL would need to know, they assume you know that from your PPL ...

Thanks!

Looking for anyone who's done Cornwall in the last 6ish months. I was researching Cornwall Aviation and saw Dave on Facebook, so I clicked on the link and see that his main picture is him wrapped up in a Trump Flag. Now I generally don't care about people's politics, you're entitled to your opinion,...

It's likely cheaper to just do an IPC and be good again for 12 months.

I've got a few ATPL friends who said if I could find a sim they'd sit beside me to get the 6/6/6 but maybe the IPC is a better path.

If the sim is certified by TC, then I don't see why not. That being said, you will likely have a hard time finding a sim that is certified for IFR training that someone will rent to you without an instructor. Perhaps they exist but most schools will require an instructor on board. Partly because th...

And all 6 hours can be flown in a simulator without an instructor?

Hello, I initially got my PPL in Canada and then moved to the US for a long time. I got my IR in the US and have been flying there for a decade+ so I’m trying to shake off the rust wrt the differences between the US and Canada. I remember when I went down there and kept defaulting to the Canadian ru...
