Flight Instructor Leaves Student in Mid-Air
https://www.smh.com.au/world/south-america/flight-instructor-jumps-to-his-death-leaving-student-to-land-plane-solo-20260709-p60e24.html At least the student had her ticket already. And when did doors on C150 become extremely hard to open? Or do 200 kms/hour :) YMMV (but not by much if you do this) CLF

Re: anybody done the float training in Ontario

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

Re: Ouch! That Had To Hurt!
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.

Re: Has anyone tried their luck at the winter sports shows?
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.

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.

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?

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 ...
