Hey all, I was a mechanic for aries for four years. They are a great company, pay is decent, they treat you excellent, better than any company i have seen. They don't question the parts you order from the field, and they really give you the room to do your job with minimal office interference. The o...

About the rotary wing thing.... I have about ten years experience in fixed wing, and i just moved over to rotary wing side of things. The DOM is smart enough to know that it is still the same industry, and now, myself, after haveing worked on both, can say that it is no different than working on a d...

call stevenson aviation in manitoba, an instructor named bill sells a great study guide that he wrote, i used it, and he sells many of them to various groups of people. Good luck

ya more jobs on fixed wing, if you want to get into helicopters, be prepared to be away from home a lot. You may aslo have trouble filling the required amout of tasks in your log book, as many helicopters just don't have the systems that aircraft do. Good luck

i'm with you al the waay biker!!! This speling thing is realy starting to pis me of, who cares. I also see it is the same people doing all the nitpicking and being negative and who think they know everything, ah well, welcome to aviation right? Good post, over and out!!!!

Hey there, how it works is.. You need to find a company to take you on and hire you. From there you go to school nine weeks a year for four years. You can change employers in that time, but must be actively working , at least most of the time, you need to meet an hour requirment, overtime is not acc...

I have cesview and used it in the field as my primary source for information. I agree it's not the best, but from a maintenance standpoint, there's not many manuals that are, some are better than others, anyhow, i made do with cesview, but ya it's not the best. I was speculating that the first post ...

your best bet would be to find someone in maintenance, and use their Cesview software instal disc. From there you can access cessna library from that soft ware if your hooked up to the net with no fees, good luck.

i take it you are graduating from a two year program? If you don't get log book entries, you won't get your licence, unfortunatly, and you will be making 16 bucks an hour for a long time. Sorry to burst your bubble, but i would strongly recommend going somewhere you can fill the log book up. I know ...

can anyone tell me about working for voyageur as a mechanic, any info would be great, thanx

don't worry, i wouldn't work for you

actually, i don't think that anyone wants to make a spelling mistake on a resume, and as adults, i like to give that credit to other adults. We use spell check and have someone read it over. What i was doing was being supportive, instead of insulting, i'm guessing you are an old school AME, the kind...

is that better than the free job sites?

don't worry about that guy, we are mechanics ,we aren't expected to be able to spell, just fix things. Try bearskin, crappy everything so i hear, but your level one, what more can a guy expect right. Good experience and close to home for you if your from the portage area also try sunwest in calgary,...

doesn't matter where you ticket of completion journeyman came from...it is not your licence, don't worry, go write your exams and get your licence from the federal government. All is well.

Does anyone know of any overseas work that pays well, and operates beechcraft, caravan, or similar. Any contacts would be greatly appriciated.

i have my own company non aviation related. Here is the best tip you will ever get. Go see an accountant, and don't listen to what anyone on here says, listen to your accountant. He will probably tell you to go with a sole prop, depending on how much you make, make sure your registered with the appr...

i have the old bluepoint non reversable, work like a charm, though i don't use them anymore, i prefer duckbills, i know i'm crazy, but working rotational work where the tools are supplied, that's what they had, i hated it at first, but got used to it, and know prefer them, it is harder to over twist...

nope, never heard of it, aviation is not near as lucrative as being a heavy duty mechanic, if you know someone who gets a tool allowance, it is a gravy, deal, one in a long shot

your actually allowed to work 10%of your total work time in canada and still qualify, also be aware that you can over lap years, for example, if you work three months at the end of one year, and into the next year, if you meet your six month requirement, with the 10%, you qualify for for that time, ...

haven't done the course, but i went to school there, i know the course is great and the guy bill who teaches it, or used to anyway, the school is great, the course is worth it so everyone says.

Terry Long used to be the maintenance contact there, i 'm not sure now. I heard that they like to keep their guys in the field for longer than they should be , compartatively speaking. Like three months and up. Don't know for sure thought. They do airborne survey, they, mag/ spectro/and gravity i th...

Everyone has valid points here, one other thing to check, the easiest, and possilby the most ulikely, would be the cable itself, if any work has been carried out on the engine, someone may have forgotten, to tighten the cable harness bracket, or it may be broken, it's a long shot, but something to c...

hey 2024, just be aware of the requirments for the overseas tax credit. As you likely know the form has to be signed by your employer, and the work you have done has to be in exploration/developement. Keep in mind that you may not need this form, really only if you are being paid by a canadian compa...

Ya don't let all those guys who swear by shift work being all that is out there get you down. They are abviously die hare AME's who work at night. There are lots of opportunities out there in many different areas of maintenance to explore. I've worked nights only a handfull of times in my career, an...
