Hey guys, I am thinking of building my own kick ass flight simulator for fun and training. Right now I am but a lowly ppl but as I save up for further training I wanted to practice on my home Sim. Right now I have a home theater with a front projection to a screen size of 120" diagonal. I am upgradi...

I apologize for being a little uneducated on this subject and don't quite get why you keep talking about trans ocean flying... I am referring to the near future of ads-b like coverage that the USA has up in running right now, but for most of Canadian airspace. (with like traffic awareness and weathe...

I thought the idea for nav canada to be interested in the satellite based ads-b was to avoid building all the towers that the USA did as most of Canada is sparse it would not be cost effective. Is the satellite based ads-b only for the use of big Airlines and once again general Aviation gets the sho...

Hey guys, I have been reading that nav canada is in a partnership with iridium to offer ads-b via satellite.

How would this compare to the system set up with towers in the USA? Has there been any speculation as to costs for a general Aviation end-user?

How about old airplanes coating the inner carburetor with Teflon or super hydrophobic coatings? I wonder if that might be a more useful endeavour.

I sure hope they can improve the durability of the hydrophobic coatings as it would seem to be very useful.

Hey guys, with it being that time of year again and all the safety messages of being aware of icing conditions I was just wondering about prevention of icing. What I mean is would it not be possible to coat the interior of a carburettor with Teflon, or one of those new Super hydrophobic coating to p...

Thanks for the replies, thus far. I appreciate the inside and views from all sides.

Curious as to if anyone has actually used the Jeppesen navdata for canada and is it comparable to nav canada vnc, etc.

Does fltplan or Foreflight have a digital cfs yet?

Hey guys I have have a question, and I am looking for some guidance. I am a Android guy and I really don't want to go out and buy a overpriced apple product just to run Foreflight with nav canada digital vnc installed. I noticed now that garmin pilot now advertises that they have Canada coverage wit...

"I would like something I could could send to my MP or pertinent minister, in regards to the what some may consider out of line costs associated with a" not for profit business. " What not for profit business?? "and other associated costs that burden the general Aviation sector." Oh please ... by t...

Maybe some of you guys that know the costs by heart could please do a basic summery of the comparison of the costs of the faa vs nav canada. Of particular interest is of charts (electronic or not) and other associated costs that burden the general Aviation sector. I would like something I could coul...

Hey guys my first post! Well i finally did it a few months ago in my mid 40's, i got my PPL! I really enjoyed the whole experience, as i always wanted to learn to fly as i grew up next to a airport. The last few months have been AWESOME to take a plane up and see the world from above. I have a probl...
