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...

When you do an Integrated Program, you are required to complete MCC training as per the training phases approved by TC. (AC No 406-002 and CAR 426.75) Once you've completed the integrated program, you are able to write SARON/SAMRA right away (rather than waiting until you have 750 hrs) to get a quas...

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
