i modified it and sent it as a letter. letters to the house of commons are postage free FYI.

Makes no sense why he landed if the roll was significant enough that he reported it.

We were told to keep ours at our base, other bases were told to return them.

Is there even a transport office anywhere you can just walk into? The one in YYJ has been closed for a long time, they are there, you just can't go in without an appointment.

Here you go.

August 1st.

All Porter employees are off until at least June 1st.

Huge ground stop right now.

The first has fallen (Sunwing). "Regrettably at this time the Company has announced it is laying off the entire pilot group starting April 8th. Your Union will meet with the Company tomorrow morning to discuss mitigation strategies for the members. While we go through this difficult time we will ens...

Depends on what your insurance company wants. There's a few of us that fly a plane my buddy owns, some need a checkout, some are fine with their previous experience.

Flew from the West Coast to Buenos Aires through YYZ Thursday-Friday. Plane was maybe 1/3 full. The thing that struck me was the level of screening in Argentina. Debarked one pax at a time. Initial screening on the jetway at the cabin door and then there was a whole crew in hazmat gear for another ...

Mate, that's quick.

I'll let you know in a couple of months what Toronto says... that's if I don't get furloughed.

Hamilton is a week and a half right now.

Well that escalated quickly. Huge hiring boom to an expanding list of cancelled and delayed groundschools. I'm hoping to start a list here so we can keep track of how everything is still going. So far I've heard sky regional cancelled their groundschool. Possibly WestJet and encore cancelling groun...

Just go see Dr. Gilmore. He's the most reasonably priced medical examiner in Toronto for an FAA medical (he's actually far more competative than most doctors in the US). He's been doing both my Can and US medical for years and I highly recommend him. FYI, I think they need to be a Senior Medical Exa...

They're definitely way behind. My medical is almost due for renewal again, and last years still isn't in their system.

FYI, Recent turnaround time at TC Hamilton was 1.5 weeks. I did come prepared with a copy of my medical, most recent check ride in a multi-engine plane (PPC in a Level D sim), and a letter from a former CP where I operated single crew aircraft with as two crew. They'll want that especially with the ...

What TC allows as practice (LPV instead of ILS for a check ride), isn't consistent with real world application or the regulations. A LPV approach is not a precision approach. They're just using it as practice because it's "good enough" to test a candidate (just like a hood is "good enough" to simula...

Of course they knew this was coming. Doesn't help that it's impossible for people to get scheduled with a LC for PICUS, and people are loosing PICUS they had done already because of time limits. This is just the beginning. I'm calling it, within 5 years JAZZ will be wrapped back up into AC with the...

EZ3 has their approaches made by a third party, not NavCan, (can't remember the guys name, but i think hes based in Josephburg or something), and the airport operator likely didn't pay for the circling area to be surveyed this year (or something like that).

You can definitely smoke on your own aircraft or a charter company could allow it. its only illegal on planes because the company bans it, and that's enforceable under the aeronautics act.

B1 is the visa you need, but I'd recommend you ask the US Consulate for a combined B1/B2/C1/D so you won't need multiple visas to operate there and to travel/go to sim. Ask FSI about finger printing for the TSA.

D1 visa is the visa you need to operate an aircraft in the US.

I've been waiting 8 months, no bill yet, nor is it even listed as renewed on the TC General Aviation Online account. Can't pay if they don't bill me!

Why not use AC? They have stopped their flights to China, so I believe a few 777/787 are available... Because their crew would be stuck from going to the USA for 14 days, and I'm sure the Union would raise a fit just like American Airlines union. Plus who knows the sanitation requirements after a f...

Anyone recently made an application in Hamilton, Toronto, or Ottawa? What's the average turn around time these days?

It honestly wouldn't be a horrible purchase. Nothing wrong with having one aircraft not the same as the others (they're ready for replacement anyways) for VIP transportation. It's nicer, newer, more reliable, and has the range for a flight anywhere in the world when we eventually have a government t...
