:D LOL, that's the perfect business model to use to develop software. I want it to automatically pull the flights from FlightAware and FlightRadar24 and calculate my hours for me. Pulling the LiveATC feeds would be good too. Always nice to hear myself on the radio. It should archive the data by air...

AFAIK, you can't get initial FAA medicals in Canada anymore. At least that was the case 3 years ago when I got mine. You can get your medical renewed in Canada, just not an initial. At least that's what I was told by three of the 12 doctors on that list. Rules might have changed again or those doct...

Short answer yes. In fact, if the cost of a Cat 1 and Cat 3 medical is the same for you, go ahead and do a Cat 1 every two years. You will have CPL privileges for 6 months then PPL privileges for a further 18 months. Nuanced answer which you'll need to understand for your written exam: Licences don'...

Pelmet, just curious where you get these reports from? The wording in some of the things you post are different from the CADORS write ups. They come directly from the TSB five days a week. I'm a bit behind on my emails but just read this well-handled one..... Air Canada Boeing 777-300 aircraft (AC8...

Anyone know if the IPC actually requires a GPS approach? If I end up doing this in a light twin I'd rather just do a raw-data ILS and a non-precisions than screw around learning the Garmen 430 (Yeah I know it's not that hard, but it's easier for me not to have learn it for a single flight). Yes. Si...

"please ensure all experience requirements are included, ie. 250 hours PIC, 25 hours PIC night x/c etc. more is always better " I got this reply from a TC lady, a licence specialist, so doesn't hurt to include the x/c in the blank spaces. Will save you some future headache. It bothers me to hear th...

whats the difference between a CANADA PASS vs Aircrew Pass?

are they essentially the same?

Apples and oranges, it can be both at the same time. A CANADA RAIC is for multiple airports (but still issued by a single airport). An Air Crew RAIC simply designates a RAIC holder as Air Crew.

Take a good look at the study and reference guide. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp691-menu-5051.htm Study the CAP GEN. Be confused about nothing inside of it. Practice several cold corrections. Study chart legends. Do the pilottraining.ca exams. You'll do great! Good luck.

I can see it if the aircraft isn't certified for single pilot I suppose. Or if it's an actual medical emergency. However, "Kenora radio just a heads up my FO is more useless than usual due to a migraine" seems...odd lol If it is certified for single pilot, crews might be used to a two-crew SOP. Dif...

I have never seen one, but theoretically you require a multi-employer CANADA RAIC.

For converting TCCA to FAA, FAA provides a form. Maybe CASA has something similar. Are you having trouble contacting CASA or TC? I've PM'd you contact information of someone at the Flight Crew Licensing Division of TC. You want them to know that if CASA makes a request for your information, you auth...

How is this coming along?

I can't access the Google Group for some reason.

AC works again.

Each of my multi, IFR, and CPL were $400 each. Two different examiners, CZBB

Hi,
1) You don't need IR Rating to write ATPL exam all you need is the total number of hours

Wrong, you only need 50% of the total number of hours required for the licence.

That’s a fair reply. Also was talking to an instructor from Pro IFR that’s also a member of the flying club our drop zone is attached too. He confirmed a lot that’s been said here as well as suggesting I contact Pro with my situation and see if I can’t pop over to Vancouver for a few days/week do a...

I'm already pissed cause this whole thing was because of a mistake the school made with the documents I was given to study. They were wrong and by the time I figured out it wasn't me that was completely at fault with the repeat lessons, we were 10 hours in. Long story that I'm fuming over. If the s...

Over the years I've heard Comox tower, referring to the Aurora, report "traffic is a P3" to both civilian and military aircraft.

I find the -42 to be comparable to other high perf singles in terms of payload.

Haven't been in a -62, but I imagine it's a step up to compete with other twins.

Does the 35k bond still exist?

Sure does.

And I understand that it's due and payable even if they terminate your employment. A very ugly position to be in. I can accept it being due if one resigns, but not this.

Will be interesting to see if the regulation changes in this regard.

Call me a pedant, but, as a matter of clarity, it's important to note that your Cat 1 is always a Cat 1, it never reverts to a Cat 3.

Relevant regulation is CAR 404.04 http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-96-433/FullText.html#s-404.04 . Your Category 1 medical is always a Category 1 medical. It doesn't change to a Category 3. It allows you to exercise the privileges of a CPL/MPL/ATPL for months 1-12 (months 1-6 if yo...

I am going to say it is pretty rare. Does anyone know a pilot under 60 years old that soloed with 10 hours or less? I know personally around a dozen, almost 10 years ago. (We were 17 and 18 year olds, PPL through cadets.) ---- Edit: Granted, several of us had a glider licence but there were a few w...
