Re: Help with Approach Ban understanding

Ah Cheers for that! I knew I missed something. So why do they specify that RVR takes precedence over VIS when it doesn't. As long as one is bellow minimums you're OK to attempt the approach? The other thing that bugs me is the fact that it mentions that none of these regs apply to part VII. Would w...

Re: 2 year Aviation college.. any advantages?

Getting your CPL Commercial in fixed wing can be a great asset to getting your heli CPL later. You'll not only learn the ability and skills of flying/knowledge but have a background that can credit your Helicopter license and cut your training in half almost. You can always use the Fixed wing as a ...

Re: Helicopter Training Links

The max weight pr seat in the R22 is 240 lbs, if the instructor weighs 200 lbs, the students max weight is going to be around 180, and you will have to be very cautious due to problems of running out of forward CG, and max gross weight, so all the schools that offer R-22 and R-44 will definitively ...

Re: Helicopter Training Links

Hey, Does anyone know of any schools in Ontario, (preferably close to Toronto) that offers training on something other then R22? According to one schools site I weigh to much to train on it.

Re: Helicopter Training Links

Ground Thumper, I grabbed these prices off of a website from a school in Ontario. R22- $460 R44- $700 206- $950. Tax not included. You asked about doing all of your training on a R44. Consider this; 100 hours on the R44 = $70,000. or 60 hours on the R22 = $27,600 20 hours on the R44 = $14,000 20 hou...

US style teaching at Canadian rates.

You could probably take the lack of responses as an answer, but if that doesn't convince you, heres part of an article from "Helicopters Magazine."
