I actually think the pilot knew all along... The engine was either not running, or the most quiet engine ever compared to the clear stall horn. Im thinkin he had a failure somewhere with his plane. Then again what about the backup gear lever... hmmm i dunno

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but I kinda hope it makes some waves. No matter how much you hate Michael Moore, I have to commend him for trying to exploit this problem. I know an article was posted on AvCanada a while ago about this, but he finally made a little video: http://www.wimp.c...

The one that I use is Pilotwiz. One of the best features, is its able to grab metars and tafs automatically.
Really useful!!!

thanks for the input! I will definitely try and get a job at the airport (ZBB) Hey Trevor, I'm guessing you already know about this, but SeaLandAir has a nice little Sportstar for a very reasonable price. The low cost will help keep you in practice, but the hours won't count toward anything because...

Hi, I am 16, and extremely close to.... ...and stay current by taking people up just for a quick joy ride, maybe throw in a forced approach, stall, etc. Good for you to be able to start so well and so young. One strong recommendation about what you said above, once you are allowed to take passenger...

thanks for the input! I will definitely try and get a job at the airport (ZBB) Although I don't know how well that would work, because by bus its about an hour and a half getting there... :( I'll get my N soon enough though. Isn't that weird! I can legally fly a plane by myself, and with a passenger...

Hi, I am 16, and extremely close to getting my recreational permit. I would be getting my private, but you need to be 17. I am planning on getting my private as soon as I turn 17, and then later commercial. So while I have my rec, and even private, I'm planning on flying as much as I can, and of cou...

I find it ironic how that was the week that I do forced approaches and precautionary's...

oh cool, I inspired a topic! :D I actually think that it is variable, depending on the conditions. For example, im at the stage were I learnt how to do weight and balance, airport procedures, and pretty much all the pre flight preperations. Im supposed to come about 30 min early so I can do all this...

good tip.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Haha ya, the rudder is what gets me, not forgetting it, but im either using to much or too little, than i over compensate when i correct myself, which makes me start to turn. But i could feel that last one i had a mini opifiny and got the "feel" of the rudder, which is why i...

Well first flight was sorta saying the forces of movements acting on the plane and taxiing. The second was straight and level. And this last one being climbs and descents, she showed me once, at the beginning of the lesson. Then she did some flying and line up with a road get me to do a climb, then ...

That sounds pretty uncomfortable! If you do stay with him, just think that hes hard on you because he wants you to be successful. I think it would be better to have an instructor that beats skills into you, then wastes youre time and couldnt give a shit about your progress. I would still switch thou...

Thanks for the advice! A lot to think about, I just dont know how much of an advantage would be to do it all at once at a university, or take my time. I just want to end up with a business degree, and all my ratings, and at least enough hours to be considered for a bush pilot job. I bet theirs some ...

I am currently doing my ppl at Boundary Bay in Vancouver, with Pacific Flight Club, I will be finished before I graduate highschool. The club offers a BCIT course which gives me a diploma, and a CPL. I was initially going to do this, and then go to a university and get a degree in business, while in...
