I guess I should have been a bit more specific. I never did get multi or ifr ratings and I'm not looking to proceed with flying as a career. I am only looking to fly recreational as a private pilot. My medical is current for a ppl, within 60 months. I will start with the AIM and dig up a POH for a 1...

Hello, I received my commercial license back in 2007 and right after decided to change my career path. It has been about 6 years since I have last flown but I would like to get back into it now that I have some disposable income. My question is, being out of flying for this long, what should I read ...

I have talked to them already. They don't rent unless you have completed a license or rating there. I even asked if that rule was seasonal since I figured training would slow down in the winter but they are firm with it all year. Oh well, I may have to wait until I go home over xmas.

Hello, Earlier this summer I moved to Grande Prairie for a job. I was hoping to be able to get in some flight time but as it turns out there is no place I could find on the airport who rents! I would love to meet someone with an aircraft who would be willing to take me for a flight since it has been...

Georgianna recommended me for my commercial ride back in May. Later that evening, after I passed, we celebrated both that and her 21st birthday. I just want to thank her for everything she's done for me. She will be missed. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

I am wondering where in Southern Alberta offers aerobatic training? What are the details about it, is it a rating or an endorsement? How many hours of flying is involved? Thanks.

Thanks tango! Yes I am in the aviation program at the local college here in the hat. There is a grand total of 4 people in the aviation program this year, lol.

Wooo! I finally did it today. It wasnt all that hard, really straight forward. Now where to fly to?

Im curious if anyone has any experience with this new handheld?

Ok, one more for today. I dont have my license so I dont get aip updates yet and I think mine is out of date. My aip says that a class 3 medical is valid for 2 years if your under 40 and 1 year if your over 40. On the back of my medical it says 5 years under 40 and 2 years over 40. Also in the aip, ...

Here is another thing that has been confusing me. In the past week or so I have flown with 3 different instructors that have been telling me different things. Also I am forgetting what one of them told me, so that is what started the confusion. :? Anyway, it is about short and soft field take offs, ...

Alrighty, Im getting close, I really am this time! I have a 2 hour session booked with my instructor on Tuesday to go over everything for the ground work. Then Thursday I have my Preflight booked. So if all goes well I will have the flight test booked later this week. Anyway, today all I am doing is...

Alrighty, ive gotten the written test out of the way last month and now want to get the PPL flight test done asap. Im not too sure what to expect and not too sure what to study. I think my flying is alright but what I am worried about is the work that is done on the ground before the flight. What ki...

For those of you with a lowrance unit, have you used the map create canada software? How are the maps in that?

I stand corrected then. I still dont see how the 1/3 scale sukhoi with that setup can be boring though. If you want I will be glad to take it off your hands. I only have .40 sized stuff, and a hangar 9 twist on order.

Meh, r/c jets do only one thing, go fast. If you want insane exitement get yourself a plane that can hover off the prop. I will have mine pretty soon. http://www.3dbatix.com . Some good videos there(not me flying though).

Thats all handy dandy but Im looking for a hand held.

Thanks for the heads up, I found the thread and will look into it to see if anything has changed since then. Does anyone know if the lowrance airmap 500 comes with detailed canadian maps?

Ok, I was looking at the Garmen GPS III Pilot and the Lowrence airmap 500 and personally think the airmap 500 looks like a better unit. It has a sharper display and comes with attachments and addons the gps III doesnt have. So I think I will go with that, what do you think?

Im leaving this sunday! This will be my first visit and im really excited!

We are staying in Green Bay and will drive in every morning for 3 or 4 days. I have my 5 mega pixel digital cam with enough space for over 330 pictures. Should be enough, lol.

Is anyone going down to Oshkosh for Airventure 2004? Me, my friend and his dad are heading down a week from today. This will be our first visit. Any tips?

Does anyone know of any scholarships or bursaries or anything for students enrolled in an aviation program? Thanks.

Hey Permateacher that is some good advice and makes me feel better about getting into the flying industry. Im just finishing up my private license now and this fall start a 2 year aviation program and will graduate with my multi ifr. I am 17 years old and got a summer job working the ramp at the pla...

My parents and grandparents are wanting to get me a grad gift and I am the type of person who is really hard to buy for. My mom wants to get me a leather jacket, but I dont want one. So that is where the cash would be coming from. If you can use non aviation gps units for aviation, can you use aviat...
