Re: Metroliner
I highly recommend flying the metro. It will make you a great pilot. Hand flying a fast aircraft, with no Autopilot, will be one of the most challenging, and funnest experiences of your entire life. I used to fly the Metro, and I miss it almost everyday. The most fun I ever had in an airplane, was w...

Do you need a valid ppc to ferry aircraft?
Hello,
If I had a Pc-12 Type rating, but I had not completed a PPC within 1 year, would I still be able to ferry a Pc-12 for a new owner? Do you require a ppc to ferry aircraft for a private owner? What part of the cars does this fall under? Are you able to charge money?
Thanks!

Re: Category 1 Medical - Vision Question
No need to worry at all. I personally have the worst (probably) uncorrected vision out of all CAT 1 holders in Canada, and I have held a CAT 1 for 9 years. My diopter error is -14. I basically need to be right next to the chart to even read the BIG E without my glasses. You should see my glasses, th...

Re: Beware of Practicing Multiple RTO's
What could be the purpose of “multiple” high speed taxi checks?
I remember being asked by mtc to do “one” high speed reject to glaze the new brakes of a cessna. I remember doing it at night time, and boy those brakes started to glow.

Private Owner A/C Rentals in Southern Ontario?
Hello, Does anyone know of any private owners, in Southern Ontario, that are renting out their aircraft? (Perferably within a 2 hour drive of Brampton) I work for one of the majors, and I don’t need to time build. I am just looking for a plane that I could use for some sight seeing flights, or small...

Advertising on side of commercial aircraft? (R1 DH8)
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Its an interesting idea. I know advertising is huge thing inside a lot of aircraft (Tv Screen ads/magazines).
I have seen advertising on the outside of race/stunt planes, but this is the first time I have seen this on a Car700 aircraft.

This is why I love av canada. Unique perspectives on design — generating thoughts that had never crossed my mind. Seriously, how much pop and chips do you need to move?

Can you scale the thrust to weight ratio of a turboprop?
Ok this may be a very dumb question to anyone with an engineering background, but I have genuine curiosity. Lets assume money and runway length are not a factor. Is it possible to make an exact replica of a PC12, but for it to be 10 times the size. I want the engine to be the exact same engine, just...

705/703 Mixed Flight Time Restrictions
Hello, When flying 705 you are restricted to 40 hrs within previous 7 days. When flying 703 you are restricted to flying 60 hrs within previous 7 days. When flying recreationally there are no restrictions. This makes sense, but here is where it gets a little fuzzy: Example 1: Between Feb 01-Feb 07 I...

Hello,
Does Skycare still have a Kitchener base?
What aircraft do they have based there?
Do they hire part time Metro Captains?

Re: Why does everyone want to work at Air Canada?
Those numbers someone posted from a screenshot for Transat are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Outdated. Add about 35 k onto those numbers. In theory. you could be at the top of the widebody scale with 14 years into the company.
