Re: What questions to ask and be cautious of when buying an aircraft?

Well, the pictures show it tied down in a hangar at least... That’s right. My first instinct to sell my well-kept always-hangared airplane, is to, uh, move it out into the snow, for the, uh, exposure. :-O How about a little more info... the aircraft is said to have been moved from one small airport...

Re: What questions to ask and be cautious of when buying an aircraft?

Alright guys, well, thank you so much for your help, advice and opinions... not easy to make your own when you get so many but at least that gives me some material to work from and with.

What questions to ask and be cautious of when buying an aircraft?

Being a newbie, my aviatio...

Re: Flight Training On Vancouver Island?

IS it? What's the usual rate? What are your expectations? To get paid for flight training? Just curious. Well to start with, I'd like to get my PPL. So far, I've done a couple of flights with a pilot friend of mine and I really enjoyed it. He has done his PPL on his own aircraft and he says he woul...

Based on the website the guy seems to have experience and sounds like a nice fellow I would get along with. I think he's full-time freel...

Which Aircraft For PPL and CPL Training?

Hi everyone. I have recently made the decision to start my PPL and probably go commercial later. My plan is to have my own aircraft and do my PPL and CPl and maybe just keep the airplane if I'm happy with it. I have a few questions for you guys as you probably know a lot more than I do. 1. Which air...

The solution might be a freelance instructor...

Re: Flight Training On Vancouver Island?

Yes, I did check them out but they're in Campbell River... too far for my old car and that would screw my finance for sure. I'm surprised an airport like Victoria doesn't have more flight schools... Anyone knows why?
