Liability issue.

In reading Cars 400.03 - ATPL Exams are exempt from the 24 month exam Expiration rule.

Read confliction stories here on avcan,

Has anyone ever applied for ATPL after 24 month expiry ?

Having owned just about every Navajo model out there P models were my favorite, I've owned 2 of them. the P is still a Great buy in terms of value for the money and had no major issues with them. Cost wise, no more $$ maintenance than a cheyenne I or comparable pressurized twin. Nothing wrong with a...

Hindsight will prove 20/20 - you won't know until you make a choice and live with it for 10+ years. Canada is a difficult market to advance in Aviation, even less realistic if you have a wife and kid. Many of my friends went to USA in the early 90's to get their license & instructors ratings (cheap)...

Go for it!, The Sim training you'll receive will be not wasted experience.

Is it possible to find out who a commercially registered aircraft in Canada is insured with, without talking to owner ? Essentially we supplied an operator with $35K equipment for an aicraft, and operator crashed the aircraft soon after and refused to pay for equipment (no...not cause of crash) . I'...

I've got time on the p model too.. I actually quite like the little rascal..lol on the fuel flows...I could never get them near what the book claimed even in cruise. Never had a problem with cylanders. Flew one engine 200 by TBO and it worked just fine until the case cracked. A "P" is the best valu...

I've owned both PA31 & PA31P's I paid particular attention in high altitude descents on the P, but still managed to crack two cylinders over time. Both were found by regular inspection. Both cracks were right around the fuel injector!, pretty much in my mind the crack hazard is indeed mixture relate...

looking for leads on a well 1 well-seasoned AME, PA31 Work, estimate 4 month contract.
Please PM info.

Yup, it's really funny. PA31P which is identical in many ways to a Cheyenne I. but yet I'm not required to have a POC or be a member of CBAA. There's no difference in performance, risk and insurance on my PA31P vs a PA31T ??.............except for...yup...the fuel type :) and few bucks more in my po...

Heck, with any luck you'll have your paperless cockpit @ about year 2020...........and maybe...just maybe you will have that same data on your portable GPS. My vote is that Transport Canada sets a mandate and contracts the whole sjabang out to Jepp. ----------------------- Thank you for contacting N...

Thanks !!.

So if your annual is done on lets say Jan 08, is your annual due on Jan 08 or is there some flexibility
(aircraft flown less than 100hrs/yr)

Ya , so I happen to own a plane that's over 3 tonnes. so every time I squeeze the mic trigger I get charged $43 per day. they provide very little or no explanation why I get charged but a 172 does not. private airplane, same blib on radar. As soon as I do a position report to accomodate traffic flow...

Unless you take the taxi lights out at an uncontrolled airport, nobody cares , there's thread somewhere on it already, I have a link somwehere and will post when I find it.

Did some private flying in Greece few months ago. for private flights my passengers had to go through terminal and security screening, after which they were dropped of at the Navajo.

As there was commercial traffic at airport that was the rule.

Glad were not to that point yet here.....

Maybe we should have a poll ?
What is the likelyhood of you taking off with one engine failed.....

Runway 29 is the shorty (2600ft) little room to come back down on that runway after a problem with a twin, so yeah cornfield it is if you really have to come down. If it's parked outside the cause is problably weed growth & pollen blocked intake..... :roll: as the weeds & grass often grow 2-3ft high...

Hed, Does your headset ever come off when you're upside down like that ?

The best plane is the one you can hop in and fly, no matter what it is!. Rest is a pipe-dream!.

Zulu eliminates low prop drone perfectly, my Navajo sounds like a turbine with the Zulu

Good example is Dynamic Aviation's King Air A90 that went down in Amazon last november (2008). Shows you can't have enough real-time flight following information. Essentially they know 20 minutes after last (GPS) contact it went down. Aircraft not found to this date. ...and that is only 20 minutes. ...

I'd say the same. Avoid YOW like the plague, save your money.

I Don't use the WX feature on the ATC , but airspace data is there for Canada now since a month ago, used the ATC on various flights and works good, except when flying faster then 225KTS it's not happy (Known issue with the unit & no fix coming) Also, there is a new version released of their softwar...
