Re: cheap way to fly into Halifax

Nope, helicopters only at Shearwater, seems strange a City like Halifax has NO options for GA aircraft close to the city.

Re: cheap way to fly into Halifax

Looks like av fuel isn't marked up any where near as much as auto fuel in Canada

cheap way to fly into Halifax

I wanted to fly into Halifax in a 172, and it looks like the only option is to go to HFX. Sounds like everyone wants 50 bucks to park overnight. Anyone know of a cheaper way to fly into the area?

Re: Cessna 172 M maintenance/operating costs

What's required to get into this program where you can do your own work on a certificated aircraft?

Is it like re-certifying it as an experimental?

Do 172's, cherokee's qualify?

Re: My sweet First Post

"go be an engineer and buy your plane" Don't worry about not making a lot of money as an engineer when you start out, my first job out of college paid only $11/hr. I make 90K now, don't have to work very hard for it either. Stick with the engineering, you can also use the TN visa program to get jobs...

Re: Interested in Bush Flying...Need Advice.

What about survey flying jobs and such where it may be possible to fly AND participate in the operations?

Re: Interested in Bush Flying...Need Advice.

I wonder what advantage one would have if they had a degree (BSc Science), AND a commercial IFR, for getting King Air or other jobs of that type?

Re: Is my career over?

get a good personal computer sim and fly IFR with it till you can do it in your sleep, that'll go a long way towards keeping your scan sharp and knowing procedure off by heart

Re: Newbie question.

Most of the ones that made sense got taken by US airports a long time ago.

Re: Float Pilots Needed - 500 Hrs + on Water

Isn't it just a job in the end, like any other job, you get sick of it?

Thought a lot about flying for a living, even quitting a job I do now that I went to university for, in the end I'd just rather go rent a plane and fly for fun.

I am addicted to flying in IMC though......
