This book belonged to my Dad's uncle, and I'm looking to see if anybody has any knowledge or history with respect to this book and it's use within the RCAF. The book does have my Dad's uncle's name in it and what i am guessing is is service number "R7XXXX", but i would certainly appreciate any insig...

Just noticed that there is a free air show tonight in Barrie. I'm definitely going to head down there. anyone else going? "The City of Barrie is excited to kick off Canada 150 celebrations with a thrilling aerobatic display over Kempenfelt Bay. This free show will take place on Wednesday, June 28, 2...

I counted down the height verbally from fifty feet to wheel contact, that really helped them get the picture...and I explained there they should be looking at each part of the approach, flare, hold off and touch down.. I'm no instructor, but I think Cat's comment is golden. I struggled with landing...

I came across this company on LinkedIn ( http://boom.aero/ ). Anybody know anything about this company? I know nothing about aircraft manufacturing, but seems very aggressive to me that they will be flying a prototype next year, although there seems to be an experience "Team" behind it. Is this for ...

And here i thought the Quebec Air Force was an aerial ski team.

thanks guys, i do realize they went digital only some time ago, hence why i posted the link. But nonetheless, I did get a response from the ASL Editor indicating that TC has experienced some delays in 2014, hence there will only be a third and final ASL for 2014, which he kindly sent me in advance o...

Does anyone know if Transport Canada has stopped producing the aviation safety letter? the last one on their website (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp185-menu-5395.htm) is issue 2/2014 which was produced in July, but nothing since. I haven't seen any announcements about the publ...

I guess that I was probably the only dumb schmuck buying the paper copies. Thanks for the heads up on ForeFlight Mobile for Canada. I am going to look into it.

I just noticed that NavCanada is now selling the Cap and Cap Gen in electronic format, labeling it "E-Cap". In reading it seems that they are providing the Cap in PDF format, just as they did in Feb-Apr 2010 when they pooched the publication and had to then provide them electronically. I realize the...

With a fresh medical in hand, I could go for some beer and wings

I actually bought the quadra, but had to return it, as it did not have any maps for Canada.

I've been searching the CAR's, and all I could find was 605.18 listing the equipment required for IFR flight, but is there anything further required than that and a C of A? Some googling yielded some FAA requirements of yearly pitot-static certification, but I couldn't find anything specific to Cana...
