Re: Do you need a valid ppc to ferry aircraft?

You need to register to fly GPS approaches? Not sure what you are trying to say. If he flies privately in his PC12, and the GPS equipment in his PC12 is certified, why would he need to register anything to use the certified GPS installation? Yes, as it states in the AFM under GPS limitations...that...

Re: Do you need a valid ppc to ferry aircraft?

Which regulation would have been broken if someone flies a PC12 with just themselves on board without a PORD? As long as you didn't carry passengers or goods and flew on conventional navaids and didn't go into RVSM airspace you would be fine. If you need special authorizations (GPS, RVSM) then you ...

As stated above, it is 24 months or 5 years with integrated. In my case it was 4 years since I wrote and they issued the type rating on an IATRA so it all depends on who you get processing your license.

To maintain an approach is about $2500/year depending on who you had design it in order to meet all regulatory requirements (checking AIRAC for new obstructions that may effect approach, redesigning it in regards to any changes and the sort).

For those who are interested... I applied in the past for a position in standards.

Re: Air Tindi Flight Missing

Co-Joe: but realistically the 100 nm safe is higher because of the 11 800 AMA for rocks 180 nm west of there,
That's why I will wait for the trained people with the actual information to give me the cause...maybe a review of a CAP GEN is in order.

Re: Navcanada discontinuing approaches at under-serviced airports

It costs ~$10,000 for LNAV and an another $6000 for LPV to get your own approach designed, followed by $5000 a year in upkeep costs to designer. Why doesn't NavCanada/ICAO do a risk assessment on flight check validity times similar to aviation pilot medicals and reduce requirements. If there are reg...
