Re: ATPL HELP?

I would go through and answer all the Aerocourse questions, and make note of any that you did not know and research it. If you understand the answer behind the questions you answer in that book, you'll do fine on the ATPL exams.

Re: New Saron Questions?

Aerocourse is a good place to start, there was a couple of questions that was on my SARON that I saw word for word in the workbook. Make sure you look over the Transport Canada Study and Reference Guide, it will let you know all the subject areas you should be familiar with.

Re: A Career in Aviation or Law Enforcement?

I did 14 years in Law Enforcement before finally walking away and never looking back (and that was before the political climate fell off a cliff). Most of my friends who still do the job wish they could do the same. I'm now working as a Flight Instructor, making a third of what I did before, but I g...

Re: Maximum holding speed for a civil turboprop aircraft?

I believe what you're referring to is the old rules (attached) which were updated (in 2018 if I recall correctly) to what you're seeing in the AIM now. As usual, after a rule gets updated a lot of the reference material lags behind.

Re: Watch the disinfectant for aircraft cleaning

We ran into that issue where the plastic in the switches were slowly weakening and breaking due to the cleaning spray being used multiple times per day. Diamond Aircraft ended up releasing a Service Information Letter about it and now we only use Lysol wipes

I have sleep Apnea and have been waiting 4 months on my Cat I. I think it depends on what region you're in. Atlantic region seems extremely slow, and they refuse to answer phone calls, voicemails, or e-mails.

Re: Any past or current law enforcement/RCMP/Police turned CPL's?

I went through the same debate years ago, eventually settled on law enforcement mostly because I couldn't afford flight training. Spent 13 years in law enforcement, finally had enough and regretted not pursuing flying... I'm starting my CPL this Aug now, guess the aviation bug was too strong.

I really like Denker's See how it flies. It's free online and probably the best text on how airplanes fly.
I had not heard of this book before, just read through chapter one on energy management and I like how he explains things, so thanks for the recommendation.
