how long ago was that?

PCC makes them look desperate for pilots, but that place is only updated once a year

So, where do the dock-f/o guys go next? Can they be upgraded to left seat after a couple years? I guess it must depend somewhat on what flying experience they had prior to becoming f/o.... The chief pilot last year did not speak highly of the f/o's, or more like what it took to be one... Hopefully ...

What does CCA mean?

Does anyone have any information on the process to get in the twin otter as FO? Ive heard your on the dock for some time then you get in the right seat as demand requires.... is there a minimum time on the dock? and is the requirment just CPL, Multi with float endorsment? any information appreciated...

Does anyone have any word on that? I didnt get the whole story, but as I was flying around Pitt Meadows (1500 PST) I heard that a search and rescue buffalo was checking out the ELT going off at mission.

just wondering if anyone has an RESP or knows of someone who was able to use it on flight training? If so, what bank was it with? I dont see why they shouldnt be allowed to be used on flight training if its done to the commercial level.. but i would like to pull out money from said resp to go toward...

unreal man thats amazing. 800 hours just for the throttle controls! how much total time have you put into it? fantastic job

It's not the hardest exam out there, know your stuff and it should be fairely straight forward. i was told the same thing before i wrote my cpl (by no means is this a personal attack)...then i stopped and thought about that sentence.. what exam will you bomb when you "know your stuff"? of course yo...

Nobody mentions that the Democrats now control the house, the senate, and the executive branch. There can be no excuses for them not solving the problems facing the USA - they've been given a blank cheque. sure its a blank cheque. but even a blank signed cheque is useless when theres nothing in the...

Sounds like a Lycoming O-320 to me. There were others besides the notorious H series that had 160HP and most Lycs run strong right to the end. Might have been topped too since some cylinders give you a power upgrade (and hopefully no oil consumption). I (and many others) say an engine uses no oil i...

If our wizard of Brit superiority wants to improve the quality of pilot training maybe he should teach his students to speak English before turning them out on the radio. The female that I heard today at Boundary (Blunder) Bay was anything but readable. actually Sea Land Air does hold esl classes f...

some nice flooring you got there! is that for sale by any chance?

I spent a few years at YPK as a controller and flight instructor and if you can battle the road traffic, it is a good airport. Runway 26L/08R is 4000" long, 26R/08L is 2500" long as is 18/36. The north parralel is used by the sky-divers and is therefore seldome used by the schools. And the down sid...

I saw your school's name at aberdeen and i thought...could that be? and I decided that it must be a different company with the same name...
(dont know what Sea Land Air would be selling in aberdeen if it didnt have any association with the FTU)

Congrats, I may come check it out.

with everything in this thread about czbb. I would take a look at Pitt pretty closely too. Keep in mind that if you train out of pitt you have a practise area shortly after takeoff as well as they have 3 runways. 26L/08R is great for learning how to land for the beginner and its 7000 feet? (dont quo...

I agree with north shore. I was told a while back by a guy doing all his time building on the school's Multi, "pick what you want to do and build all your commercial time on it, even if its a little more expensive you'll have the upperhand while applying for that hard-to-land first job". I didnt lis...

did you ever fall in the water practising?

Hi everybody, and hopefully become a float plane/ bush pilot. That one sentence there pretty much settles it. If you want to be a bush pilot and fly float planes then your best bet is to go to Air-Hart and do your whole commercial licence with them all on floats. Air-Hart is the only flying school ...

Hate to tell ya but the system is there to serve the airplanes, not the other way around...if a RJ100 makes your life a little difficult, guess what, that's the job. I can assure you the pilots aren't climbing slowly just to irritate you. Calling a design "bad" just because it doesn't have the perf...
