When flying becomes routine, these factors creep in and cause many accidents. Saying 'fly safely' is a reminder to stay on your toes.

Just my thought, but I can imagine that it does not interest the owner of AvCanada to have it to be a forum for discussion or promotion of a different aviation chat website. This is someone's "place", so their rules.... You don't see Tim Horton's ads up in Coffee Time.... This makes a lot of sense....

and what rule says you can't do a low pass at an airport? What rule says you shall not do an overhead break or formation approach? I would have no problem doing any of those and telling TC or anyone else I did them cause I wanted to. (exception, controlled airspace ie a tower, and no clearance to d...

I have a certain amount of sympathy for training accidents. What I don't have much sympathy for is cargo cult FTUisms that lead to accidents. I'm not sure if that is the case here, but we certainly hear about dubious FTU practices such as leaving the gear down during circuits and getting the studen...

unfortunately most of the people who would be looking to use block time are relatively low experience ME pilots and due to the lack of experience are quite possibly going to increase the maintenance requirements through less than optimum handling. I'm not saying this to be unkind and I don't mean t...

Still posted as TBA - should be changed me thinks.

Here's the image with info, from their website.

You are allowed to take time to get configured for your airwork, steep turns for example. Don't start them until you are at the airspeed and power setting YOU want and the ALT you want to hold. So, these aren't assigned to you by the examiner, you get to pick them? An examiner will commonly say "pl...

I don't think that would be comfortable on a knee board either (looks like it would take both knees!) Don't forget to learn to use the a...

Great comments gents, real classy!

If I was buying a tablet to use with FF i'd also go with the iPad mini with cellular and a external Bluetooth GPS that works well, I've used the Garmin Glo without any trouble. 64 GB or more so that you truly are not limited and your digital map is that much more valuable.

What's a recommended book to study for the written exam for the class 4 instructor exam Not sure what to recommend you study, the exam is called AIRAF I believe. I'd be interested to see what others here recommend. See here, http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/page-6504.html Prior to...

I am not 100% sure myself so I did a quick google and search on this forum and this is what I found. Hope it helps! One thing I am wondering... I've got a friend who is building a homebuilt (CH750) and is wondering whether to go RPP or PPL when he gets his license. He was leaning towards the PPL bec...

Ah thanks for the info on THE C WORD !

Seems the time is TBA, To Be Announced, maybe contact COPA Flight 54 for more details? Or wait and check in regularly for updates?

I used the ">>C BOOK<<" for studying for the PPL, it was okay. There are discrepancies, understandable considering that the author did all of his flight training in the US it seems, regardless, the ">>C BOOK<<" books have discrepancies for sure. You might consider the Sharper Edge series. I'd be cur...

As for the written exams, study study study and study some more, don't forget to practice the more applicable content like reading and understanding weather, you should feel comfortable with everything the exam asks of you.

I know an owner who's planes are impeccably clean and in seemingly perfect shape.

But he's a bad person!
