Don't you need a recommend first before writing the PPAER? I believe the prerequisite for the recommend is proof of the 10 flight hours as well as your medical... at least that's what Harv's (pilottraining.ca) asks for. For PPAER, you can write them at some FTUs and don't need to go to a TC building...

Isn't that Jan 15, 2020 from your screen shot? Yes. Technically the class 1 will expire August 1st, 2020 - July 15th being six months from January 15th, and me being 41 years of age. But, it's not like I'm going to find work anytime soon, so I likely don't need to worry about keeping the class 1 cu...

Awesome! Didn't know they had an online portal... Transport Canada General Aviation Online Services Accessible with the same credentials as your Revenue Canada account, but it can take a while to get an activation code; I think mine took a month to be emailed to me. Covid-19 may or may not have had...

Mine was printed today, according to the online portal, but not processed yet, so I assume they're open. Screenshot from 2020-05-14 20-14-08.png Awesome! Didn't know they had an online portal... Not that there's any rush now... but in the past, I was able to go to Yonge/Sheppard and got them to pri...

Does anybody know if and when their exam centers will open, been studying for the inrat for like 2 months now would really like to take the test.

I emailed them asking the same and they do not yet have a firm date. By emailing them, you'll get notified when they open up - aviation.ont@tc.gc.ca

There's a ton of overlap with the PPAER, so if you used them for that too, then I'd say 70% of the material will be purely review. I used the same study method as the PPAER. I'd go through the slides, write the topic quiz, and if all is well, move on. If there was a concept that I did not get, I'd w...

The document appears to only apply for candidates sitting CPL, ATPL, or FI exams - and only applies to medical validity for sitting an exam. Doesn't mention PPL. Also, that document cannot be found on Transport Canada's COVID-19 measures, updated, and guidance site. Which seems a bit odd... There's...

I read the post more as a preemptive message when TC exam centres eventually open up. I'd imagine the Atlantic & Prairie regional offices should be opening up in a month or so (says my crystal ball), while ON and QC lag quite a bit behind, given the Covid cases. That, or maybe Harv's is really full ...

Wanted to share these two links below to those who haven't heard... https://hngr-ppl.s3.amazonaws.com/RDIMS-%2316457603-v16-EXEMPTION_FROM_PARAGRAPGH_401_13(1)(A).pdf https://www.facebook.com/harvsair/posts/10158149129844929 Essentially, you now temporarily only need 25% of the flight hours to write...

I, too, used pilottraining.ca and couldn't be happier. The way I studied for it was the following; 1) for each topic, I read all the slides 2) if I did not understand fully, I then watched the video for that topic 3) did the practice quiz for each topic 4) reviewed the ones I got incorrectly 5) if I...

This one goes further back... Spreads do change yes, but generally speaking, the BoC rate directly impacts the prime rate.

Yes, banks MAY follow and lower variable rates. MAY. Or may not. Fixed rates are NOT set by the bank of Canada, but move in line with 10 year government bond yields. Correct (somewhat, it's actually based on the bond market as a whole... not just govt) on fixed rates. However, I challenge that stat...

I have enough cash to cover 2.5 years of current living expenses without having to touch my equities.

Sold at the peak of the market. Have been expecting a downturn and figured this virus would be the catalyst. Nice! Now tell us where and when the bottom is coming... Trying to time the market usually results in below market returns, so I got lucky this time. I will be looking at getting back in whe...

hmm let s rephrase /. say you put 50k in in a mutual fund in 2016. have rode the gains up till now. you convert to cash in a gic for a 6month or 1 year while market finds its new norm. you protect against loses in the bear type market and still have the liquidity when the turnaround happens. This a...

I'd like to but people like "Mentour Pilot" who to me has a lot more credit than people on AV Canada said it's a 9/11 level impact I don't understand; You have a "Mentour Pilot", whom you take to be more credible than the group here? Okay, but then why ask here if we are not credible? Don't you kno...

I'm not an accountant so take this with a grain of salt.

I believe you can only deduct education amounts for those that you get a T slip for. If your CPL and ME flight examiner didn't issue one (I doubt they do), then you cannot deduct the amount.

Makes sense... Thanks!

Something in me wants to shout "cuddly toy, radio teasmade". But I'm prepared to bet nobody else will get the cultural reference . That's 0 for 1 so far... How about PLB, spare headset batteries, life preserver, rescue whistle? The PLB is meant to be a backup to the ELT in the aircraft, correct? I ...
