And a grass strip is the perfect place to learn to deal with crosswinds. Much less rubber left behind when you mess up.

For that money go take an aerobatics course. Harv's Air would be my recommendation but I'm sure there is someone in Southern Ontario

Why do you hate 152s? They were one of the funnest planes I flew.

Let them fly 172s. There are lots of those and no-one would miss one.

Very early in the morning is the best time. First day not so good. Last day may be best or worst. Always walk away if a client arrives in the middle of your talk, A quick "I'll come back" and leave and let them sell.

I have been on both sides of the booth

See if I can get this past ... :) There is a specific name or label for a pilot who flies very low below clouds. Search for a website suing that name. On that site ask your question. There is/was a very knowledgeble and opinionated pilot on there who was into gyros. Hope this sticks around long enou...

> Isn't that why schools have senior instructors do supervisory flights? But what if the assessment is rushed, because the senior instructor, second in command, Class 1, has "more important" things to do? Example: Engine failure test from 1500' instead of the regulation 3000' I was then failed becau...

Okotoks Airpark is the only residential park I'm aware of in the Calgary area. I am not sure what the status is. Wonderful little airport, very poorly managed, with a bizarre group of home owners and changing rules.

Indeed the dreaded C150 (O200) trains you for carb ice. - new plane to us, BC Lower Mainland, August high humidity, I was warned by the AME, and a 150 had gone down on takeoff the week before. Sure enough the engine sputtered on the first take off roll. - regularly in Alberta when ground temp is 5 t...

A quote:
The South Africa CAA in its report blamed “the lack of secure containment for the penguin” as being responsible for the crash.

Teaching/training is considered fair use. You can cut and paste a "reasonable" amount. Multiple pages is not reasonable

So, as an ex-float pilot with a whole 35 hours of float experience. Why, oh why, would the pilot try and and drag it off like that? Am I correct in seeing that as soon as they got out ground effect they stalled and flopped over? I'm with the OP on the value of this video. There is another video of a...

Dryden Flying Club used to (2015) have a float plane available for members use/rental. If they still do I would explore getting your 7 hour ticket there and then renting until you have 50 hours. There is another company based out of Gimili that also used to rent a 172 on floats. Of course, Northern ...

Our favourite is Murray's in High Level, but we trust both Stealth and Klarenbach in YBW. We use Stealth more frequently, not sure why.

I know this area well. 100 of my 300 hours are mountain time. I would never have gone past Ghost Lake with that weather. I hope I would have stayed on the ground to begin with.

I think the PNF did pretty good. Twice he caught problems with how the other pilot was handling the aircraft while he was busy dealing with other dangers and risks.
Now, my opinion of the the PF is very different.
