They’re both just as good as the instructors that are there at the time. You end up with a bad instructor and it doesn’t matter what the course is, it’s a complete waste of time.

SFU was kind enough to provide me with the abstract from their research. They offered the full technical report as well but this is sufficient for me.

4.WHERE THE WEARING OF A BEARD IS AUTHORIZED:
A. IT SHALL BE WORN WITH A MOUSTACHE,
B. IT SHALL BE NEATLY TRIMMED, ESPECIALLY ON THE LOWER NECK AND
CHEEKBONES,
C. IT SHALL NOT EXCEED TWO CENTIMETERS IN BULK.

Brilliant! Thank you!

Interesting. I wonder what their policy is.

Hi, would anyone have a copy of the actual study conducted by Simon Fraser University regarding facial hair and pilots? My co-worker calls beards “facial fungus” and is adamant that they’re unsafe and need to be banned from the workplace. SFU study busts myth about facial hair on pilots: https://ww...

Thank you for the Pro Pilot information however that is from the US market and my work dismisses it because it's not representative of the Canadian market. I was wondering about the one from CBAA/Wynford that was released at the July YYC convention.

Does anyone have a copy of the CBAA 2019 Comp Survey? We're expected to do our own market research and negotiate our own salaries.

Bought it last summer. Rode 14,000Kms in 2.5 Months. Did a lot of Motorcycle Camping.

Based in CYYC, PM me if you ride and want to group ride.

+1

I just use "Cancel IFR - Close the Alerting"

It is giving you the location of PERVA so that you can safely transition onto the approach from the VOR without any type of RNAV/GPS capability as the VOR is not on the ILS track. For whatever reason they're allowing you to descend from the 25NM safe but the PT altitude is too low for obstacle clea...

Since they moved PERVA off of the YMM VOR, this note "3400 from YMM VOR to PERVA FAF R-053 1NM" appeared on the ILS25 approach. What does it actually mean? The P-Turn is 2800 and 25nm is 3900 so 3400 doesn't make sense. Thanks in advance. http://postimage.org/image/5iyv0qbn3/ http://postimage.org/im...

The AIP was nicer; The issue with the AIP is that if you had any grease on your fingers the pages would go completely translucent on you. Who eats healthy food when studying the AIP?

Hi:

Did anybody else notice that the New Grey-Coloured AIM (April 5th, 2012 - October 18th, 2012) is 1/4" thicker than the previous AIM, yet has less pages (436 VS. 440)?

Perhaps I need to get out more often

I'm still loving mine... Had it since Jan and no issues.

That doesn't work properly, and isn't supported by the developer anymore... I had this app for a while and found serious mistakes in it, namely while correcting very cold temps, -40 to -50 ish. waste of money. Emails about it were not answered.

Are you kidding me? We have resorted to apps and spread sheets to help us calculate cold temperature corrections? Just like flying a plane isn’t hard – you can disconnect your auto-pilot, turn off your gps, and hand-fly Victors your entire career I’m also sure that you don’t do your flight planning...

I have also re-named the columns to shrink its width for easier use on the BlackBerry narrower screen. You can download the Updated File by clicking on the origin...

Please let me know if anyone is using this on their phone and it's not an IPhone or BlackBerry. I'm just curious if it works on other platforms like on the Android (I can't see why it wouldn't)

Okay, Here is my review of the A-20 Vs. Zulu. A co-worker has the Zulu and we tested them on the ground and in-flight. Here are the Pros and Cons: IMO Pros of the Zulu / Cons of A-20: (1) You can’t stream music wirelessly through Bluetooth (because of the loss of sound quality, Bose doesn’t support ...

Hi Everyone: I’ve created a Cold Altitude Correction Spreadsheet for you to be able to use it on your mobile phone so you are able to quickly calculate the corrected altitudes. It’s a pretty handy tool and it’s pretty easy to use – plus it’s Free! :D I’ve been asked to create this spreadsheet becaus...

I’m back to Kraft Dinner Suppers for the next while; I caved into my desires and went and picked up the A-20. I’m really impressed with the level of noise canceling, its weight, and design. Compared to the DC XL-13, everything sounds so clear and not muffled – Voices, Mouth, and Cockpit noises – I f...
