I did my floats in sarnia onatrio on their 172. price was right, and the instructor has a few thousand hours on floats. plus there are lots of great little islands to go beach at and do the bikini patrol.

for the past few months while flying in the states weve been using US charts on the IPAD. seems to work great. recently my buddy bought the bluetooth GPS unit for the IPAD and thats just to cool. shows you where you are on the chart, pretty much turns your ipad into a moving map.

Family and friends? where did that come from

DONT be afraid to ask the examiner - are you the student or the examiner? as sometimes it will get confusing cause its all role playing. have fun with it. but if he or she asks you a question that could be coming from a student seeking answers, or the examiner just testing you dont be afraid to ask....

Also the more hours you personally put on the airplane the cheaper the insurance will be. so really one evens out the other. so lik...

Ive hit swamp in a tail wheel citabria. was not pretty. keep in mind that if you hit water, you will most likely go ass over tea kettle.
