They are good but perhaps more importantly they are what the TC exam writers pull their questions from. If I didn't care about the TC exams and my goal was just to learn, what resources would you recommend? I've been using RCAF Weather Manual and Pilottraining.ca The previously posted recommendatio...

By the tone and surprise in a few of these comments it appears likely there's a gap in recognizing US runway marking, lighting, and construction requirements within the AC150 series at the FAA are uniquely different than the requirement set forth in TP312. Big topics of difference include: - the run...

Ben, Photofly is correct - it's doubtful anyone here can reliably (and accurately) advise on eligibility. The best thing you can do it educate yourself on WHY a C.A.M.E. may say/do/inquire/etc about any current or past conditions. Have a look at TP13312 (https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/publications...

Interesting Garmin has that SB... but it doesn't appear to be consistent with the Alberta incident where where both airspeed and altitude were retained throughout. Garmin trying to mask something?

Six months after passing a kidney stone I reported it on my CAT1. The CAME hardly raised an eyebrow on it - simply asked if I had any reoccurrence since; and since there was not he stamped my book and we were done. Four months later TC Medical in Ottawa sends me a nasty-gram demanding a CT scan and ...

Hey sjatana, I'm currently in the process of completing that program in the online format. The easy answer is: there are a lot better elsewhere. Unfortunately, I figured that out too late. I am continually frustrated by the school's lack of quality in the course material, and instructors that are in...

Greetings from YYT. Some of you may be familiar with the Crows Nest club in downtown St.John's. Perhaps you dropped in for a pint on a layover. The Crows Nest just celebrated its 75th anniversary and is still going strong with record membership in spite of Covid. We actually just reopened on Novemb...

You're right on one account and couldn't be more wrong on the other.
Check your PM.

Does anybody have a contact within the flight departments of Irving or Cooke Aquaculture? Don't worry..... I'm certainly not looking for a gig. I'm in search of information to use during negotiations at my own company.

even if I had the money: if it Flys, Floats or F@%ks, then it's cheaper to rent by the hour.

Marinth: good luck

I've always been of the opinion: do your instructor rating at the FTU in which you'd like to work when you're done.

Just about all of what's been said is correct - pay is at or a little below the average, and the TT required is quite varied. However, guys that get on with low time have paid their dues in ops or on the ramp. Otherwise a good option is getting in at the yyr base flying the coast. Unfortunately, it'...

ikarus, that was some great insight! Thanks

ikarus: thanks for an honest answer. I'm not exactly sure what was said for anybody to take "personally" since my question was quite general. Since you sound like you know a thing or two maybe you can answer some more: any idea what the benefits package is like concerning health, dental, life, rrsp/...

Similar to flyinggirl I've just been invited to an interview as well. Question is, should I even bother with it? Without a doubt it'll mean a pay cut based on what the gal told me over the phone, and you don't find out which base you're going to until (aprox) the second day of ground school. Those ...

Had a quick conversation with a controller as he switched me onto a pretty quiet frequency early this morning about his understanding of our approach ban. Mercury XXXX was on his way into my departure airport around midnight. Vis was down around 3/4sm but he said he couldn't accept the approach clea...

Nortont: be in the right place at the right time (just like anything else I guess).... but have 1750 hours to get in the right seat on the king air. VERY rare to go outside the company for the Caribbean gig. That's the only advise to "align" yourself.

Just got offered a f/o ride on the 1900D. I know enough about the company and ops but can anybody say something about the Blanc Sablon base?

Best of luck finding a plane in town to rent. Last time i was home i couldn't find anything to rip around for an hour on.

Tholl, I did mine from moncton to daytona beach about 6-7 months ago. While on with flight following be prepared to copy frequency / transponder changes a lot quicker than north of the boarder - i remember getting switched about every 15-20 minutes.
Have fun bro!

con771, Apparently we have a little in common - degrees, enough of a passion for aviation that we sift through the crap on this site for a bit of good advice, and finally, the hope that one day we'll be able to go home to Newfoundland. All I can say is if you want it bad enough it'll happen - that's...

being a Newfoundlander has no association with being an asshole... great thread until you said that.
