Re: COPA for Kids pilots now require police check
I am personally done debating with you "Digits" on this subject, on this forum - I believe we have managed to get a pretty good idea of why the decisions were made and i don't believe it as much of a momentous issue as you are making it into. If you are still not satisfied - please PM me your actual...

Re: COPA for Kids pilots now require police check
I really think this conversation has run its course and is not being productive anymore but i do need to respond to this previous post because it is 150 % false!!

Re: COPA for Kids pilots now require police check
So let me get this straight - a certain number of you have been complaining that COPA has implemented this policy of a back ground check for the pilots - now after 95 posts I believe its been explained very well why this was done and it was not done by COPA's choice and not taken lightly - and now t...

COPA President Bernard Gervais summed it up in the following article:

Re: COPA for Kids pilots now require police check
Just a quick note - unfortunately this not a "COPA" driven issue - this is an industry/society issue. As a bunch of people have stated here, this is pretty standard practice for anybody dealing with kids. I'm sure COPA is not happy that they have to impose this extra burden on our CFK volunteers but...

Re: COPA for Kids pilots now require police check
I am actually one of the current Board Members of COPA that some of you here speak favorably of and some not so much. I was not part of the discussion/decision to have these background checks so I can't comment to what the rational was in implementing this new policy. The main reason why I would lik...

Re: Lake St. John accident
It was a Lake Amphib - the two occupants got out with serious but non life threatening injuries. One of the occupants is a regular contributor on these forums - PilotDAR He is pretty beat up but going to survive - he's been transferred to Toronto for surgery. I will update when I know more - I am in...

Re: Building a New Grass Strip
Just to clarify about insurance - you need to have "Runway liabilty" - I'm pretty sure this is not included in your COPA membership since they are in the business of selling insurance. Some aircraft policy will have a "runway liabilty" endorsement - I believe Flying Farmers insurance has this. I hav...

Peter Muehlegg's sudden passing
We are very sad to let you all know about the sudden passing of Peter Muehlegg - my long time next door neighbor and friend - and parts supplier to lots of the Skywagon owners out there. He was away on an ice fishing trip in Temagami, Ontario and passed suddenly this past Saturday. All our hearts go...

Re: Getting involved to preserve our future...
There are many challenges to us as pilots, aircraft owners/operators, runway owners/operators - from government and non government. There are people in this country - like PilotDAR and I - that have been both directly and indirectly involved in fighting these battles for many years. We have a wide r...

Re: Flights of fancy at Markham airport
I worked there for a few years in the late 80's - but because of the fact that I don't need anymore "cease and desist" letters like the one from COPA - I am not going to say that I agree with everything that has been said here! I am also not going to say that I read the article in the paper on Satur...

Re: Bad dreams
I've always had dreams about hitting the ground at high speed - I found how realistic they really were last summer when the engine quit on a 185 on amphibs at 400 feet on climbout - the really interesting and scary part was the fact that you don't approach the ground - it comes up at you in that sit...

As far as I know all single engine Cessna that have a "both" setting have a vent tube connecting the tanks along the front carry through - including the 185??
