Anyone currently at Brampton??!

What is the outfit like? Professional? Decent? Well structured? No danger of going bust? or on the contrast is it the pits....? Recent experiences please... Btw, is it possible to do the groundschool online for every FTU? or do you study from material provided by the school, i.e books? If so, what a...

How do you mean hands on flying?

Surely, the hands on flying part is down to the instructor and type of flying you settle in a career, i.e. Corporate or Airlines?!

Folks, I am in a bit of a dillema and I need some information regarding Flight Training in Canada compared to Europe. I am currently about 6 months away from finding out whether my Canadian PR will be granted as it has been a while now and if this is granted then I assume this will open up the way t...

Wow, it seems that this has sparked a debate!

I will read all the posts and then post my opinion too

Yes, I have heard the aviation scene in the U.S is heaving, so there are definately some good FBO's out there..

Any recommendations? I think it is likely to be in a state that can offer the best weather and has a good setup to minimise downtime, tech problems etc..

SOL??

MC, As far as i know, the notion of the frozen ATPL (0 to fATPL) as it is known, allows you to clear the ATPL ground exams concurrently with alongside (or before) your CPL Training - Provided that you meant the hours requirements 150 for CPL etc. Once you reach the 1500 hour mark your ATPL is unfroz...

MC, dont be abrupt! The ATPLs in Europe are undoubtedly the hardest set of exams some one is ever likely to encounter! You do 'more' than work your 'bag' off here! I wasn't asking about a school for the ATPL, this was fpr a PPL, and I know that 'choosing an FTO has nothing to do with the ATPL'. If y...

Well it is not exactly a rush, but more to do with having the option open to fly in Europe on a JAR License and satisfy the beauracrats at the Civil Aviation Authority.. The CAA have stipulated that if I have an ICAO ATPL with 1500 hours (at ATP - Multi-Time) and the regulatory regime enforced at th...

3-6 years really?? That long? Ok, well I will be starting my PPL in June in Manitoba and going the modular route, so therefore the option of progressing from PPL will be open to me in either U.S.A or Canada. Which route will be more viable U.S.A or Canada? This is of course taken into the equation t...

Yes, I suppose Zoom wasn't the greatest of choices...

But you get the jist of it..

To get to ATP, how many hours must you acquire first as an FO?

Folks, I am after a concensus as to how 'easy' or 'difficult' and the general time frame it would take to log 1500 hours as an ATP. I have heard some have done this in as little as 18 months.. Obviously, (I realise the answers will be subjective) however, I am assuming the only way to acquire 1500 (...

No doubt this will probably spark a riot, but I am just interested in the whole argument about 'Quality of Life being greater in Canada vs UK' as well as more aviation opportunities. Some people state Canada is one of the best countries to live in the world, higher quality of life, cheaper, less tax...

Wow,

Really, so how comes on the TC site it mentions the need to take conversion ground school exams?

http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/gener ... endixA.htm

You only need to:

1) Hold a medical for FAA.
2) Write the FAA Air Law Exam
3) Pass the Radio Communications Exam.


Under the recipricol agreement between FAA and Canada, the process is the same whether converting from TC to FAA or FAA to TC!

Yes, this was another consideration which swayed my decision to train in Canada. TSA Authorisation can take a considerable time to come through and that is after being treated like a second class citizen! In comparison to Canada where you can do a PPL or anything under 6 months on a tourist Visa, wh...

Well, I have both category 1 Medical for TC and FAA. I am taking this one step at a time and have given myself approx 6 weeks (official vacation allowance) plus 1 week unpaid to get the PPL. Although, I anticipate that 5 weeks is the average, I have planned for contingency in any case. I plan to do ...

From my understanding Transport Canada regularly conducted spot checks on syllabus and training given by FTO's. The likes of FAA training which is more 'loosey' 'doosey' in comparison to JAA and TC also in my opinion points to this factor. However, I think it is not so much the school but the Flight...

Hi Shamrock104, I will PM you to pick this up with you directly. SDP - No I am not from the Middle East, I am from England. Why do you ask? I have logic for choosing Canada over U.S.A - Quality of training being one and a few other issues. SDP - So what school would you recommend and why? Feel free ...

Hi Slappy,

Yes, that' what I meant. Whilst the eventual aim wud be ATPL, I would go through PPL, Night Rating, Hours Build, CPL, CPL ME, etc to ATPL.

I am jus undecided whether this will be all CAD or JAA. The PPL most likely will be CAD.

Yes, i read the info and trawled through the page, but I am more after a 'heads up' of recent experiences by people who have attended the school recently..

Ok, well to rephrase the question..


For a PPL, what experiences (if any) can people share about Harvs Air, Moncton and ProIFR?

In terms of quality of training etc, for someone who is about to embark upon the long road ahead and start with the PPL....

Is anyone able to recommend a good flight school for doing a Canadian PPL in Canada? I am open to suggestions and just wondered what the concensus amongst Canadians is regarding good schools in Canada for a well rounded PPL experience? I will progress to ATPL, once I have my PPL and the required num...

48 views and not one reply??

Surely someone must have know about the school.....?!

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum and this is my first post :D I have extensive information about Harv's Air already and have read through the post's on this and other sites. I am from the UK and am considering coming to Harvs Air for a Canadian PPL sometime between May and July. As I do not live in C...
