Re: Floatplane pilots
PS. Speaking of cheap operators look at the job advertisement for the MNRF Turbo Beaver Pilot. Absolutely embarrassing!!! I really hope they don't find anyone that is willing to work for that kind of money in 2024. Any human being that accepts that job is scab and is fueling the poverty wages ever ...

Re: IR 6/6/6 currency in non IFR rated plane?
So, in OPs case, the only time you can do it in simulated conditions and log it towards 6/6/6 is if OP is wearing a view limiting device and there is a flight instructor onboard who is acting as PIC and is looking outside to satisfy VFR requirements. for simulated you dont need an instructor, you j...

Re: List of lower end of bond & training agreement amounts
The tax process allows the airline to avoid the full cost of training No, it just means the cost of training is paid from revenue prior to calculation of profits, and that's because training is indeed a necessary expense to run the business. But carry on in your delusional world of make believe fre...

Re: List of lower end of bond & training agreement amounts
For training, the employer deducts the pilot training costs in their taxes Training eventually isn't a company cost, Says he who doesn't understand how the tax system works. Yes, training is a valid business expense, so it's deducted from gross income before calculating net income. That doesn't mea...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?
It’s not for me, for someone just getting started… I was simply wondering if that’s a new rule at Jazz. I wouldn't consider it 'new' by any stretch. Back in the day it was required to have a valid instrument rating, and we did a flight test each year to renew it. If you let it lapse, it was no long...

Re: help with 703 training exams
Yes obviously all those 703 operators need their own version of GPS theory to ensure it's properly applied to their operations.... Since they are all using different GPS satellites and GPS networks right? With gps the exception, all the rest need to be tailored to the operation in question. I have ...

Re: They didn’t order the AC chicken wrap.
That's the cost if ALL the trips combined. 8 years of trips. They say "August Trip" because it was always in August. Harper makes 8 trips over 8 years to some of the most remote and logistically challenged places on earth for 2.5 million... Trudeau blows 2.6 million in a week... From the star artic...

Re: T/O or Landing during Solar Eclipse
The moon is too small for totality. It looks like dawn or dusk during a full eclipse. The correction to that is 'it depends'. The earth-moon distance varies over the course of it's orbit. If moon is at it's closest to the earth at eclipse time, totality can last up to 7 minutes and it will be compl...

Re: T/O or Landing during Solar Eclipse
Has anyone here experienced totality before? Does it get really dark, or is it still fairly bright out? If you are in totality, it's just like night. Sun is gone, stars are out. Not while you are flying at higher altitudes. Really. I guess that's why back in the 70's a concorde was chartered to cha...

Re: Rise Air 705
I'm not sure why pilot utilization is lower today. It's a general industry trend across all 704/705 lite. 1000hrs a year is the current limit, but that's still only 5.5hrs a day working 15 days/month. Not a whole ton of flying. Is it a lack of support and pilots are wasting duty time on tertiary du...

Re: What IFR time counts for an IFR rating
I'm not an instructor but I don't think there is much training conducted in IMC conditions so it is probably all hood time. Back in the day when I taught for an IFR school, most of the training done during the winter was in IMC. That was back in the 80's, dunno how various schools do it today, but ...

Re: LOOKING FOR COMPANY TO GET PIC TIME FOR ATPL
You can get a 705 FO position without an ATPL. I just have an ATPL Frozen. Does your license say 'Airline Transport Pilot' on it, or does it say 'Commercial Pilot' ? You left a bit of gray back there… Assuming a CPL holder also has a valid IATRA then yes the candidate could potentially crew a 705 p...

Re: 1200TT pilot with jet time advice
1200 tt with 900 on the 737, you have an interesting conundrum that his very much not typical in North America. With 1200 total, it's a given you dont have an ATPL. Since 900 of that is on the 737, and it's unlikely any of it is left seat time, then you likely dont have the PIC requirements for an A...
