It all depends on what your concerned about. If your worried about the anesthetic, the post above answers that, if your worried about the increased G load putting pressure on your surgery site and perhaps blowing a stitch, then my guess would be a week or two, as thats how long it took me to return ...

So if I am in for this coming fall, it will still be a 2 year program then? or will they shift to the program include everyone in the program when the transition starts?

It appears things are changing for the worse. To start, the college administration got rid of some of their best and most experienced people. For what I could not guess; I knew these people to do their jobs well. Also, the college administration, whom has no aviation background supposedly decided i...

Im not specifically talking watches here, actually, what I am asking, is say I lose my watch and I am supposed to go flying in an hour, does my cell phone, iPod, etc work as a "Reliable Timepiece".

Just wondering as to what the definition of a "Reliable Timepiece", one of the requirements for day-vfr is? Is it by definition a wristwatch, or will anything that displays the time suffice?

Thats how I do my landings always.

Anybody got any good tips on nailing those landings? specifically short and soft's? Lately I haven't had the greatest luck with them, I'm always coming in too low and slow, or I come in good and I balloon on the flare. I think part of my problem lies in the flare, cause I always seem to float down t...

There was some ceremony at City Hall the other day that had to do with 4 Wing, and they were doing some flying around friday to get ready for it, then did flypasts at the ceremony. If I remember right, it had to do with them getting permission to enter the city or something along those lines... some...

I hate to hijack your thread, but I also hate to start up a new thread asking a similar question, so I'm just going to ask it here anyways, because it is a question that has bothered me for awhile...

What the heck is this signature thing? In 10+ years I have never had anyone ask me for a signature in my logbook. I think for the logbook, its the little "I Hereby certify that this information is correct at the bottom of every page. I don't think you need it signed by any instructors or anything, ...

Just a quick question, what should I expect for my upcoming flight test (a week tommorow), like how do they generally work, what are some of the most common ground questions, any tips and tricks you guys know of to keep calm and composed throughout the whole thing, etc?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good aviation books? I've been looking around on chapters website, but their browsing system honestly sucks, so I figured why not try and see what you guys would recommend? In particular, I am looking for books that relate to: Corporate Aviation Airlines Books b...

Do you have much time for socializing with the players ? Does each time charter its own Air Canada Jetz plane? Cause I notice on the canucks photos there are canucks logos on the seats.

Does TC do any sort of program to facilitate like learning disablities for these tests? well not really a learning disability per se, more along the lines of I know everything, just when it comes to a testing situation I freez...

I dont think that they pay off the media, I think it all has to do with customer service... some of these reporters fly around alot, covering different stories around canada and the world, so they get to know each airline pretty good. Air Canada's stereotype is that the flight attendants are bitchy,...

Just go write it and relax. If you fail it you can write it again soon.. I went to write the instrument exam in April, without knowing what it was called. (Okay so I am verging on geezerhood). So I wrote the IATRA (Two Crew). Got only 58%! I was horrified :shock: Then it comes out that the exam sho...

About the question regarding single runway op's at cyyc, they almost always have at leats 2 (4), if not all 3 (6) runways going, 34-16 usually handles the biggest aircraft, like any 747's, older style aircraft that need the extra runway (something like a mile long runway, might even be a bit more), ...

Okay, so I have sorta decided my first choice is going to be the Mount Royal aviation program, however I am thinking of also applying at Selkirk, and Red River.
