Would Conair hire someone who met their minimums except for the ATPL with plans to write them in the near future? Or is the no ATPL a one way ticket to the resume garbage bucket?

Sorry, but you're wrong. But this is the fundamental issue with your question that is causing you confusion. If you insure a plane, or vehicle, read the terms. It'll say something like nothing in the policy stops a third party from making a claim blah blah blah ..... So, in your aviation example, i...

thanks

Insurance companies don't get to decide what is legal or not. Well actually in a twisted way they are. You need liability insurance to be legal and they provide it. Sorry, but you're wrong. But this is the fundamental issue with your question that is causing you confusion. If you insure a plane, or...

Why do you think it's illegal? Because when I bought my personal plane I was forced by insurance to do training on the plane before I could fly it even though I had experience in other planes that were much more complex. It just seems odd that I can jump in this plane and fly it with zero training....

No, absolutely nothing to do with that unfortunate accident.

Thanks, but I can't find anything in it about an exemption.

Hello. My employer (702 operation) wants me to fly a company aircraft (light twin) that I have never flown before and have never had any training on. I regularly fly a different type of light twin for said company. This will be a non revenue VFR flight. While I don't feel uncomfortable doing it I d...

Thank you for the info.

Hello, does anyone know if a TC examiner is supposed to give the candidate a copy of the flight test report after a PPC? Thanks

sorry to go off topic but whats the nightmare problem with the engine mounting on an early 210? i haven't heard of that in my decade of owning one, have i just been lucky? All the 210s, and the 205 and early 206s the engine is mounted on the cantilever box which doubles as the housing for the nosew...

The C210 gear door mid goes a long way towards dealing with the gear issues. The strutted 210 would be my preference I have heard the opposite re the gear doors and been advised to keep them unless they get damaged and it would be economical to do the mod. You may get exhaust fumes in the cabin as ...

My advice would be if you have a nice 182, stick with that. While the 210 and Cirrus are nice planes, for the price of the Cirrus or the extra costs of the 210 you can put a lot of gas through a 182. 210s right now aren't holding their value, so expect to take a dive on resale if that's a concern. ...

I have had an early C210 (1962) for going on 10 years now. It's been a great airplane, i think a lot of the talk about the gear is just talk. I have never had any problems with my gear except for once when the doors wouldn't close which was just a micro switch adjustment, also never had a problem wi...

There was a Helio sitting in Campbell river airport about this time last year

I did the same thing. Just got tired of flying for a career and it consuming my life, the constant studying, check rides commuting etc, so much of your own time goes into it. I did it for 4 years, i guess i should have toughed it out i would have got to the top eventually. I ended up taking up truck...

Bottom line....GA has all kinds of incompetents in it. That doesn't mean that they are incompetent in life. Some are hugely successful and extremely smart but don't have the ability to understand their limitations. They have skill bit not good judgement. Others are seriously lacking in skill. Some ...

Hey guys What’s the current hour requirement by PAL for their Q4 Anyone got a call? And know the hours ? Thanks in advance I got an email to do a camera interview from home, the give you written questions and you talk on your mic and camera on your computer, they review it later. I have 2700 hours,...

Multi-ifr on a twin piston or turbo prop? The other 900ish is in single piston. If your answer is twin piston that’s most likely what’s holding you back, if there’s no other red flags in your interviews. Are you only applying to regionals or anything that will take your resume? Well, accepting pove...

I dont know why, no criminal record, no violations. 2/3rds of my time is multi IFR with about 300 hrs of that pic, the rest is single engine. I thought maybe its because I'm 50, but with all the employers preaching diversity now that shouldnt be an issue, but then again maybe they figure a 50 year ...

Let's think about this for a moment. Who would apply for this? On the one hand low time pilots who can't find a job in their home country. They will likely arrive here with 500 hours or less. There is no shortage of 500 hour pilots here, but it also won't affect candidates at the airlines. It's the...
