I heard that some 215's from NWT were sent down to ont. to help with the fires!?! Has it been pretty bad down there over the last few weeks?

yeah, i was just trying to say that "there isnt much difference between a guy with 7 hours and a guy with 50 hours" when it comes to knowledge, weather its 7 or 50, its just enough time to get yourself into alot of trouble. But just like you were saying......there is a BIG difference when it comes t...

Hey, I just had a question about getting a helicopter licence/rating and first jobs with a new heli licence. I havent really looked on any websites or on any other threads to see if i could find an answer so i figured i would just start one. I was just wondering a general price of how much a heli li...

Quote: The 50 hour float course makes you a lot more hire-able than the 7 hour course. Completely false. I know everyone has already said it but..... "How does that make any sense??" Think about it, "who is going to be CHEEPER to insure?" Some with 7 hours or someone with 50 hours?? It's all about ...

Float planes I saw when I was in yxl last summer

I think that there are still float jobs out there, I know a few people that have taken road trips across N Ont. this time of year and found places that are looking for pilots. So if you have a way to drive through Northern Ont. that may be an option to finding a job. (I know it has worked for some p...

Whats wrong with being 27, I was in school with some people that age and they landed pretty sweet jobs right out of school. And what your doing is what ALOT of people do, get their licence at an aviaiton college and find jobs right away.

So.......Go for it............

415 last summer in Tbay


What a beautiful machine

Yeah we are still working the ramp, where im at its going to be about a year or so before I get to fly. From what I hear the wait from ramp to a flying position has definatley gone down over the past few years, which is good. Ive heard of some places where the wait on the ramp is down to about 6 mon...

CL_guy it seemed I just missed all the action just after I moved out of 723 to head to the knife......i'll have to make sure I look ya up if im in town so we can grab some beers.

Seems like you fellas are going to have a busy summer with all the dry weather eh??

Anyways cheers for now.

I just left Tbay a few weeks ago, and just after I left there was a fire right close to the airport. I was just wondering how the forest fire situation is right now? Has there been many throughout northern ont? I know it was dry as heck the last few weeks I was there, and that 415's were already on ...

HAHAHA

hey hoov, I just moved here, when do I start seeing all the things u mentioned????

Hey Rowdy,
I'm pretty sure you HAVE TO rock the "Jafar"!!!!


Pretty sure its the coolest of all beards....

well no matter how much u have studied, dont get stressed about it, its not going to help u in the end, a little stress keeps u on your toes but anything more wont help you in the long run.

And watch that ADF stuff, it will kill ya............








HAHAH, jk

I dont really have any experience myself, unlike the tons of experience that 185_guy and rudder bug have, but my advice would be to find a really good company, big or small, bush or IFR, that treats their emplyees really well, and has room to advance within the company. Thats what I did (with some h...

ooohhhhh shit.......... U GUYS ARE SCREWED.......if you dont know ADF inside and out then you might as well not even try wirting. hahahah, just kidding fellas, there isnt much on ADF, maybe a question or two, just remember the formula, MH+RB=BTS then BTS+180=BFS The exam isnt that bad, if you have s...

Well everyone, its good to see such a cool little vid. has drawn so much attention. I thought it was crap to hear about people saying it shouldnt be on here because someone might get in trouble (and alot of people agree with me about that). As far as these guys being dangerous!! I think thats far fr...

I think all of us confed people and everyone that flys floats would agree that, you should put that plane on floats then re-submit your video

jk, looks like fun......well untill you try floats then there isnt really a comparison.

Hey, My buddy sent me this video a while back and I thought I would throw it on here. I was looking to see if someone had already posted it before, but I couldnt find it anywhere.

Anyways, enjoy!

I just did my IFR a little while ago, my advice would be to read everything that has to do with IFR in the AIM, it might take a bit, but there is alot of usefull info in there. And like everyone said, go through the aerocourse. Read through the CAP gen. and the Air Command Wx. Manual.

Good Luck.
