Re: Tough Decision Making
The older I get the wider the yellow stripe down my back gets. I don't fly night VFR outside of the circuit anymore and don't fly IFR in a single unless there is a decent ceiling with good vis under the clouds Nobody was badly hurt and the insurance company will buy them a new airplane, this is a win.

Re: SkyLink pilot union takes pay cut & b scale
Is Skylink actually getting pilots to apply ? Carson is offering up to 115,000 for Metro Captains, why would anyone apply for literally close to half the money ?
I could maybe get it if there is no bond and the job is a holding pattern until you get a real job, but that is not the case.

Re: Poor service
I feel for the controllers as they are so short handed they have continually have too much to do in too much airspace. The one little bit of good news is since Nav Canada is run by and for the airlines and when ATC delays affect their bottom line they care. Apparently they are putting a lot of press...

Re: PGI instructing (always wondered?)
PDM = Pilot Decision Making also sometimes called ADM, Aviation Decision Making I have a PDM example in every lesson. Some PGI's, like short field landings are 80 % PDM. A short field landing is just like every other landing, however the decision around whether or not you should be landing, whether ...

Re: Flight Test Recommendations
I assume you're a class 4 instructor and have done 5 of the last 10 hours. If so, yes it counts. Since failing the partial resulted in the requirement for a full flight test your recommendation counts as a first time pass, subject to the hours requirement referenced by Bede. I assuming the OP is a ...

I will squawk 7600 and then since I have the ACC in my cell phone contacts. If I lose comms I will phone them and sort this out.

Re: Ferry piston aircrafts across Canada
The 300 mile CPL cross country should be approved by the students instructor, especially if the airplane is a flight school rental. It will be on a clear and a million day to the same places everybody goes to. Ferry flights don’t give you the luxury of waiting for perfect, you will use your experien...

Re: Ferry piston aircrafts across Canada
Risk is dependent, how long has the a/c been sitting, was it well maintained. WX is it's own risk, you have to be willing to say it's not happening today whether it's IFR with no suitable alternate in rate or VFR through the passes. 200 hour brand new CPL’s are going to pretty much by definition no...

Re: Ferry piston aircrafts across Canada
Ferry flying is not a job for low time pilots. Based on your previous posts you do not have the experience to do this kind of work. My last ferry flight was a trans Canada delivery of a Cessna 421. When I made it to the West Coast I presented the new owner with a 59 item snag list.
