100k into a license these days the extra 2-3k for a road trip is nothing.
Wow is that the going rate for a CPL M/E IFR now?!

Re: Did I waste Time And Money?

To give you a little perspective... I work on Level D flight simulators and I had 1000+ hours of experience in them at the time when I went to do my PPL. Even in a full motion simulator with proper control loading and flight dynamics more realistic than you can get at home it was quite a big set bac...

Re: 2 Air Transat pilots charged with being impaired

"They were also accused of acting in a threatening manner and fighting at the Hilton Hotel in the city on the same day." Not really impressed with Transat on this, and I'm sure most people aren't. I guess they're happy to let this dent their reputation rather than risk an unfair dismissal lawsuit. ...

Re: 737s across the pond

Most of the 737 fleet is ETOPS but the ones operating to Europe have a different cockpit configuration (think 8.33khz comm spacing and other things special to Europe).

Of course, the iPad is monitored and tracked by the company. I had a discussion about this the other day... please do enlighten us on how they would do such a thing without being connect to their network/server.

Re: Calgary man builds $25K flight simulator in his basement

I'm impressed he could do it so cheaply. Looked into this thing with some friends a few years ago. To reach a good level of sim, we were estimating around 40-50k. With roughly $25,000 That stuff adds up and I would guess the $25k is a really rough number. Sometimes with hobbies like this it's best ...
