To me it's not a question of legal or not, it's more a question of why anyone would want to anyway. Again this is simply my personal opinion but night flying VFR is about as risky as it gets due to the presence of illusions. The lights on a runway are part of the protection/assistance to guide your ...

I appreciate the comment, but the question still stands :wink: This is more so for my own enjoyment and to better organize myself when teaching type familiarization. I'm not exactly seeking out an instructor rating anywhere in the near future. Any hint as to what kind of gig you have doing type fam...

I'd be rather choked if any of my employees did such a thing. As long as you're accepting a paycheque I think you owe your employer better behaviour than that. If you're that upset then maybe quit instead of posting that kind of trash.

FYI, here's the actual sign.

I certainly agree.

Interesting thread. Firstly, I'd like to say I've never seen or even heard of this procedure before in 20 plus years of flying/instructing. Mind you the majority has been in Western Canada and the US. I don't think this is instructor bashing so much as a discussion about the actual value of a partic...

You're right mixturerich, it is all about perspective and it is difficult to decide if you should react locally or globally. And perhaps if we in the 1st world are going to stick with the economic and social restructuring to fight Covid, we also have to step up to the redistribution of wealth to hel...

And you miss my point which is - don't use BS to try and try and make your own points. Comparing something that affects very few shirtless and/or shoeless people only when they are trying to enter a business (primarily a restaurant or a bar) to something that affects the entire world in almost ever...

You could be right about the health reason but you miss the point, I am right. And you miss my point which is - don't use BS to try and try and make your own points.

“No shirt, no shoes, no service” is universally accepted as a sensible health precaution and nobody loses their minds over it, but somehow masks during a pandemic is a violation of some morons’ rights and a government conspiracy to subjugate citizens and destroy society. It’s amazing how a simple p...

If anyone cares, here's the legend for the chart I posted. Screen Shot 2020-07-08 at 12.23.18.png In fact, dying of COVID-19 is not the problem. It is the tremendous burden placed on the healthcare system by those that will die or those that are severely affected by the disease that is the problem. ...

Here's another little chart using data from Worldometer. It shows deaths from most of the major causes worldwide. Screen Shot 2020-07-08 at 09.16.50.png And just for fun, here are the causes - covid, cancer, smoking, seasonal flu, alcohol, malaria, hiv/aids, traffic accidents. All of them (other tha...

Speaking of data, here's a graph using the most basic data from Worldometer - worldwide cumulative numbers of cases and deaths. Started Apr 29 at 7% death rate and dropping steadily, now at 4.6% today. Take from it what you will.

Just did my medical a couple of days ago and asked my doc about a similar letter - not BMI but an issue that had been resolved 4 years ago - and got the following. Apparently the regional Chief Medical Officers all tended to be old and rather long in the tooth and hadn't necessarily kept up with the...

Masks in the cockpit are a pain, but way better than not flying at all. The most comfortable I've found are the disposable ones. They are light enough and the elastic around the ears have lots of give so stay comfortable even with glasses. They don't trap heat like cloth ones do and you can actually...

They still will have to write the exam before they can submit their application but they can get the flight test out of the way. They can book the exam as TC is planning to start allowing exams on a scheduled basis, to limit access in and out of the offices obviously, in early July. It will take a w...

Which school would that be?

Provided you can meet the lighting and size requirements, any Photographer can take them. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/photos.html Get the images printed somewhere that can print on high-quality photographic paper, cut them out yourself, and ...

Bud, that would be a pretty scary ride. I'm in.
