Re: Applying ATPL with converted CPL from FAA
It sounds to me like you’ll have to write the Canadian ATPL exams. You can only convert a license once and since you have a Canadian CPL you’ll have to take the steps that a Canadian CPL holder would have to receive an ATPL which would include the SARON and SAMRA. This is my understanding. Someone c...

Re: Truckers convoy
I haven’t. Link? Which charter right has been infringed upon? Also I wasn’t equating the fight for charter rights to fascism I was equating his speech to that of any communist or fascist leader.

Re: Truckers convoy
Read your second paragraph and explain how that isn’t indistinguishable from anything Castro or Che would have said during Cuba’s communist revolution. Actually, I'd consider what tsgarp said to be more akin to the pretext of the American revolution. (But that's just me. I wont speak for him.) For ...

Re: NEW TRAVEL Restrictions.
How is asking people to take a PCR test on arrival upending their lives? It’s a pretty common sense measure that is somewhat effective. The travesty is that we are 2 years into this and we can’t return arrival results in under 6 hours. This is an airborne virus here’s a non exhaustive list of measur...

Could you post the studies? I would like to read them. I’ve read a few “masks don’t work” studies with very poor design. Ex.

Yes. New buyers are unaffected b...

Your reference also says this: "We do think it's a pretty obvious way somebody can go about containing their secretions."

Re: What do you use for gust correction
Per the Boeing FCTM the wind additive is to provide sufficient maneuvering capability.
The steady wind additive should be bled off in the flair and the gust factor maintained to touchdown. Minimum speed for touchdown is Vref-5

Re: Harv Air vs Pro IFR vs Moncton Flight College
I did my Multi-IFR at Pro and think they're great but in general I would avoid the lower mainland for initial training. High cost of living, high cost of training, and boundary bay is a good distance from what is usually a very busy practice area.
