Re: Rise Air 705
I’m guessing around 50-60/month. May vary month to month but that’s probably a good average.

Re: Rise Air 705
Above is accurate. Saabs will be slowly phased out in favour of more ATRs in the next few years. Mix of sched service and workforce transportation.

Re: nav can awws site closure
I’ve heard from a Nav Canada person that AWWS will NOT close down for a few more months. They will work to fix the issues on CFPS in the interim, and longer term (1-2years?) they intend to either rebuild it completely or replace it all together. They admit that it is basically a disaster and are wor...

Re: Logging Co-Pilot time on Single Crew Aircrafts
FO time on single pilot aircraft is absolutely accepted but as was noted above only if the operator has TC approved 2 crew SOPS and the FO has a PCC . I know of at least one pilot who had 2 years of flying time disallowed because the operator was too cheap to do a PCC. If you are an FO flying in a ...

Re: Logging Co-Pilot time on Single Crew Aircrafts
Obviously I assume since a company has FO positions for such aircrafts, that means their COM (or AOC?) calls for it otherwise they wouldn't be paying another salary from their goodness of their heart. Therefore, if their COM/AOC dictates for FO on single pilot aircrafts, are the Co-Pilot hours you ...

Re: Dash-8 Fo or Pic
Wow, That was absolutely beautiful, sincerely! If you ever write a book, I’d be the first to buy it. Seems like the king of guy I’d love to grab a coffee with and chat the day away. The 703 gig is very decent, but the ultimate goal is Ac as stated. I do have all my PIC for my ATPL but only around 1...

Re: Dash-8 Fo or Pic
I would do the 703 Captain for a year or two. You’ll learn more about flying and also about yourself as a pilot and that experience will be much more beneficial down the road at a large 705.

Re: Pilot in waiting jobs situation
So really there is no pilot shortage, just a captain with 2000 hours shortage . Bingo. FOs at 703/4s get their 1000hrs TT and the vast majority leave when Encore or Jazz call. There is a small minority who do stick around to get some MPIC and take advantage of the growing medevac salaries ($100-180...

Re: Rise Air Hiring ?
All pilots are on a 28 day block schedule. 18 working days 10 days off. Normally weekends end up being days off. Benefits are with Sunlife, matching RRSPs after 2 years I believe. King Air in YVC is mainly medevac with some charter while the Twin Otter is mainly charter with some medevac. Current op...

Re: Rise Air Hiring ?
As far as I know, hiring is still on going. Like anywhere, if the postings are up, there is still spots to fill. Things take time, patience goes a long way! That’s as much as I know. Good luck all!

Re: King Air SIC time
I believe that if it’s operated as a two crew aircraft, then you would log it as copilot time. Different log books may call it something else but that’s what mine has.

Re: Podcasts
I enjoy "Pilot to Pilot". You can sift through them to single out some Canadian bush ones. My favorite right now is "On the Step", its a seaplane podcast, but has a few interviews with some Canadians and float flying here in Canada. Cheers I’ll second the On The Step. Great podcast, lots of variety...

Re: How much do people rent Mooneys for?
Namao Flying Club out of the Edmonton region used to rent their Mooney M20 out a few years back IIRC. Any Edmontonians in the know care to comment? If not, maybe try giving them a call and see if you can talk to someone who used to work there “back in the day”... When I did my PPL there, (2011-2012...
