We are in Iqaluit and possibly looking to go to Qikiqtarjuaq today to leave for Greenland tomorrow. Looking at Windy, there is clag in the Davis Strait in the morning.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Cheers,

Thanks. I suspect you are right.

The big question for me will be whether as a foreigner I would need an M1 visa to take a checkride in the US or whether the checkride doesn't count as training and so I don't need it.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any FAA Designated Pilot Examiners on Canada who can conduct an FAA instrument checkride?
