Hey Pierre, Thats good news. Where are you doing your CPL? I left YZF in september. I'm now self-employed and I enjoy all the free time it gives me, not mentioning the money. I still fly but only when I feel for it, like next week in north Alberta. Can't wait to go! Let us know about your first sol...

Yeah Pierre, you scared us to hell in the beginning! I was the first one to tell Terri about it, and thanks God, you ended up doing a great job, thanks for all your help! How are ya? "Capt" Gilley Bean Been good thanks! Just workin' on my PPL at the moment and it's comin' along smoothly. Should be ...

If I remember correctly there was a gentleman by the name of Pierre working the Tindi dock last summer. I believe there were a fair chunk of Twin Otter captains convinced he was going to get decapitated due to a lack of situational awareness with regards to spinning propellors. Hope Confederation C...

Pierre, Did you have the privelege of working for any of the aviation companies located in Yellowknife? Yea I did actually. I worked as a ramp hand for Air Tindi this past summer and will be returning in May. Why do you ask? :mrgreen: They don't own any Founds but they do have a couple of 185s whic...

LMAO, good find.

Well, if I were to pick a good place for survival training, I'd probably pick the tundra or the Canadian Shield (winter or summer). Places north or east Yellowknife would work well for such training. Costs would depend on whether survival gear would be included in the price. Food would no doubt have...

Pierre, I hope your parents own that Diamond Mine out there and that you get some photos posted here with you and your new Found this summer. Best of luck. aha as I've already said, it'll be a long time before I can get my hands on a Found. First of all, I'm just starting my training, and will be d...

ahaha that's a pretty sweet pic.

Im just going to say what everyone else is thinking. You are a F@#$%*G RETARD and if you actually think you can buy a damn plane, with the help of mommy and daddy, then you are seriously the dumbest person i have ever seen. now STFU already!!!!!!!!!!! :smt021 It looks like you created this account ...

I've lived in Yellowknife almost all of my life, and let me tell ya, it's a great place to be! Summer is likely the best season up there, as there are numerous outdoor activities. From Yellowknife Bay, you can boat out and find a good camping spot where the city isn't even visible in under 25 minute...

Fair 'nough.

Radio done :smt023, PSTAR to go? :smt040 Did my PSTAR on Wednesday. I throughly reviewed the prescribed AIPs & CARs and went over the practice questions a few times, and ended up getting 100%. :P I'll have to wait a few days though before I get my results for the Radio exam since the Industry Canad...

As a former Authorised Person to issue the ROC-A (in both official languages), I'll dig up a few "sample questions" for you

I did the exam today, and those questions really helped! Thanks again!

PC, If it's just for camping get a Grumman HU-16B Albatross. One in TAP for $550K. Like a flying Winibago or Houseboat. The url is http://tappix.com/791192 Only joking, but once you get into that much money, you have a lot of options. Any chance you need a brother? FKAC is Kind - A - Cute aha that ...

The Found is a beautiful NEW aircraft ($600K + taxes) and every one on here dreams about sitting up front in a brand new shinny plane whatever the make and model. And I mean dream. Who wants to roll an old 45 gal. drum or two up against those leather seats or across the carpet. Or changing that "go...

You’re right, I’m sorry for laughing but how you described your plan to live in your parents basement in order to be able to pay off a $300,000 dollar airplane on a bush pilots salary, … well kinda funny, … those other guys were helpful and I was just being an arsehole; … laughing at a sincere youn...

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated!

Not everyone has holes in their pockets fellas. I'd just like some constructive advice on a potential bush plane I could purchase with a few of my friends when the time is right... ha ha ha ha, ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ... maybe...

...they don't necessarily do it for the money? I said that because most novice pilots don't make much, and it seems only right to assume that.

You must have deep pockets Pierre! I don't actually have the money yet, but hopefully once I start work up north bush flying, and convince my parents to help me out, I could manage to buy one. Besides, I'll have the option to live with my family which will cut expenses down by about $1000 a month, ...

↑ Pics from YZF, right on!

People become pilots because it's their passion - they don't do it for the money. Every pilot will tell you - at least from my experience - that being a pilot is the best job out there, so maybe this isn't the best place to ask. As Hedley mentioned earlier, is practicing medicine something you could...

Flight Plan you file with Flight Service, A flight Itinerary is something you tell/ give to a responsible person ie "hey rob I'm taking the plane to mirimichi and back it takes roughly 3 hours see ou at 2" Rob:"ok" (normal day of time building for me rob was my instructor) Gotcha. Thanks for the in...
