Re: ICAO to TC and advice to a foreigner

Isn’t a Canadian CPL an ICAO commercial license?

Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

Are they more dangerous than those old fashioned planes with the little wheel at the back?

Re: Looking for Flight training colleges/schools

Sorry, I’m just bitter about most of the FTUs disappearing from the Calgary region.

We used to have more than 4. I believe there’s 4…

If I wanted to get a license 🪪 in 2005 I would definitely check out that topic in the link. Plenty of information from almost ten years ago there.

The surcharge is gone. We hopped on the bus and used regular single fare tickets to ride home a few weeks ago.

This guy paid for first class, hoping for a large seat but ended up stuck in it.

Re: Who should pay for the extra seat for large passengers?

Of course if I was in charge they might have some wide seats available on some flights. No reason to punish them with the regular crappy seats while charging extra. Sigh, it’ll probably never happen in my lifetime. Wait, don’t they have those, I believe it’s called business class You might be right...

Re: Who should pay for the extra seat for large passengers?

Also not to bully anyone that massive but if you need to take up a second seat, you’re going to need to pay extra. Of course if I was in charge they might have some wide seats available on some flights. No reason to punish them with the regular crappy seats while charging extra. Sigh, it’ll probably...

Re: Who should pay for the extra seat for large passengers?

The problem wouldn't be so bad if they haven't been shrinking the seats for as long as I've been riding on airliners. I've been the same size for the last 20 years. The seats have gotten worse. Everyone is spilling out of their seats now. It used to be that the 150 was cramped and the 737 spacious....

You mean the extra fare for leaving the airport?

Do you know a regular monthly pass works for that ride?

Re: airport lighting systems maintenance troubleshooting

Code books have always been a bit expensive. They are a bit daunting, part of apprenticeship training is “how to read and interpret the code book.” Many guys least favourite class. Most electricians never buy another one after they finish trade school. https://www.csagroup.org/store/canadian-electri...

Re: Calgary Flying Club successful forced approach.

Guy got his moneys worth out of that forced approach lesson. the rapidity with which a distant ATC unit w...
