Re: Flap setting on walkaround
The most dangerous situation with flaps is an asymmetric deployment. You are usually low and slow when you put them down and if they come out uneven it could be deadly. Id suggest that all control surfaces and engine controls should be checked on the ground before you start the engine where a probl...

Re: Conversions: TCCA -> FAA
Well, 2 can play that game. The FAA specifically states that I need to show evidence of PIC time but nowhere does it state how much PIC time. Therefore, theoretically I can pay ~30$ for 6 minutes of PIC on the same multi I did my training on and legally meet the requirements. Dramatics aside I'm goi...

Yep, I suckered myself out of PIC time. That's on me. My question is still valid however, in order to rectify the situation.

Re: Conversions: TCCA -> FAA
No photo, not anymore. I was PIC during my PPL flight test, but they changed the CARS (recently within a year) to say that the examiner is PIC during a flight test.

Re: Need some help.. After the PPL and how to get hours...
The Ville-Marie circuit is a fun and useful way to learn how to enter and deal with controlled airspaces, as well as following ATC instructions and improving situational awareness. Plus it makes for some romantic as hell moments *ahem*. If you are really lucky and you want to depart the circuit west...

Conversions: TCCA -> FAA
Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I am currently in the process of being relocated to the U.S. and have some clarification questions regarding the FAA Advisory Circular 61-135A that I'm hoping someone here has had experience with. Question 1: I hold an almost finished CPL-A (s...

Re: CPL flight test experience requirements
No I got that, I was only speaking of the required flight experience.
The instructor I asked at my school said I also needed 75% of the CPL instrument hours to take the flight test, so 15, but I see nothing about that in the CARS or anywhere on TC's website

Yep, correct on both.
My question was simply to clarify the requirements with regards to the flight test.

Re: CPL flight test experience requirements
Honestly, my reasoning was the longer I wait to do it, the more review flights I'm going to need to do to get the procedural stuff up to scruff. I passed the written in October 2014, so I don't want to dick around too long and let that expire. I think I have all the dual requirement anyways, any add...

CPL flight test experience requirements
Hi folks! I have a quick question regarding the CPL flight test. The only description of experience requirement to take the test I've found is: "evidence of having completed no less than 75% total flying experience required for the CPL licence;" Does that simply mean having 150 hours total, or does ...
