good question, not sure. I had planned to call and talk to someone there this coming week but i wanted to see if anyone had any reviews of the place before hand. I will add those questions to the list i've got already. You sound like you know what your talking about Hugh, where you located? Still pa...

I've recently gotten a quote from Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing to have our C150 repainted. Its about 5-10k cheaper than anyone else. They appear to do mostly commuter and business jets judging from their website gallery, only thing close to a GA aircraft i saw was an amphib beaver. Living with the a...

I intend to do my RPP, then work towards my PPL before doing floats. The reason mainly being is the closest training school is 1+ hours away by car, and my dad keeps his C150 at our farm in the summer time, where i live. So once i have my RPP, I will be able to just fly our own plane to the airport ...

Not looking to repaint at the moment, just strip it down to the aluminum. I asked the ame where i do my flight training and he said he wouldnt have his crew do it for less that 30k. Which is about double what our little c150 is worth so...

Can anyone offer any advice for removing paint? My dads c150 has about 3 lays of old stuff on it and its flaking off pretty badly. Our ame suggested a product but it has been discontinued apparently. He is gone away for a couple weeks so im unable to ask him to suggest anything else. I'd like to hea...

Just out of curiosity, what are application requirements for bomber pilots?

Same boat. Harvs air had an update on the pilottraining.ca website saying they were trying get something up and running online but that is going on 6 weeks ago now. Perhaps someone here can be of assistance...

I was all set for an orange and white one, as im used to having the wind speed indication it provides with the bands. Plus it would help whenever i'm trying to decide if its too windy or not to go out and spray the crops! But a canada flag one sounds cool! I will have to dig a bit deeper and see wha...

Super! So nothing about colour, size or any other restrictions as i understand it! Aircraft Spruce....here i come!

Our sector will be one of the last to get the full green light. Business travel has been pushed towards online meetings. They were headed that way anyway, but because that tech has existed in some form for years, I think most business travel will return. Some travelers will be affected by income lo...

Hi everyone, I recently finished off building a private airstrip on my farm. Got myself a good 2000' and managed to get it seeded with turf seed before a good rain last week! Wondering if there are any windsock restrictions; what colour i'm allowed to put up, IF i'm allowed etc.. I swear i read some...

Yes. It’s all in CAR 307. It’s not particularly onerous. If your proposed aerodrome is away from a built up area, you need to write to your neighbours and the minister and a few other people, and solicit comments and objections. Consider the objections and comments, and prepare a report as to how y...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but is anyone able to shed some light on how all this played out? I cant seem to find much online other than the odd newpaper article from 3+ years ago. Would love to hear what the regs are for private airstrips now, i have a farm and would really like to store my...

Thanks for the input fellas, i do appreciate it. Thinking that direct to ppl is probably a better way to go at this point; just really wish that there was a school closer than 2 hours away. A few people i have talked recommended doing the ppl ground school course online if i cant make the time to do...

Hi all, Been lurking around here for a while now and finally decided to sign up. I've tried searching for an answer to this a couple times now an havent really gotten anyplace, so if its been staring me in the face, i apologise. Please dont be too hard on me. I've been tossing around the idea of get...
