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.
We are 10 person partnership with a C150, lol

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.

So sad, so unnecessary.

We have 10 people listed on the C of R for our C150. We send a spreadsheet with all the names and addresses for every change. This happens once or twice a year

It would be nice if you posted a copy here too. I'm sure there are lots who would enjoy the read.

Just an idea

+1 for Murray's. Actually +eleventy billion, lol.

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.

Contact the user fleet16b on this site. I'm pretty sure he knows quite a bit about sourcing parts.

To be legal for your insurance the checkout has to be done by a CPL who meets all recency requirements.
At least in all the policies I have been involved in.

Wrong. All 10 partners in our C150 are on the CofR

Is it save to fly(and land) the C172 if there is a wind shear (almost entirely headwind) of 40 kts reported at 500ft AGL? Yes If so, is there anything that I need to look out for when doing a power-off 180 approach? Yes, don't do it. Power off in a wind shear situation is a place you never want to ...

I would commit to flying once during each period of time off. Have a training/practice schedule for the flight. Then if you want to fly more, do it.
