Re: Wanted: IFR ground school books for INRAT exam

I would lend it, but you joined 3 days ago so you must be new, lol. Do you have specifics you're missing? Just send a PM

Re: Funniest Online Applications- AFS Photography

do you have any current credit problems; do you have a credit card ; name of credit card ie VISA, Mastercard etc?; do you have a low balance on your credit card? Ralliart, not complaining at all about the ad.....just truly funny. Fair enough though I wouldn't be providing my credit card information.

Re: perpetual NOTAM

Thanks Neil. Thats the kind of thing I was wondering about . Given our situation a continuous NOTAM is the only one that makes sense. Sidebar, it's sometimes abnormally dense airspace where it might not be expected. The map doesn't always tell you what's on your route (ie. check NOTAMS).

perpetual NOTAM

Requirements?......Is this reviewed on an individual basis when applying or is there some criteria for assessing the airspace? Drop zones and glider clubs would be the obvious civilian areas.

Re: Medical Q

According to my doctor (who's been doing av-medicals for 40 years), the date the medical is done is the determining factor for the "turning 40" crowd. There has been much debate on this issue, and I have been told differently by TC. According to Dr. Wing, if you're 39 when you get a Cat 3, you're go...

Re: Stone Mountain Safaris

Does anyone know if this is this $30,000 salary (as pro rated per yr) or $30,000 for the length of the contract? There's a difference especially flying here on tailwheels.

Re: I'm pissed that I couldn't afford a degree as well as....

Just a question.....what are the requirements for a student loan (not a grant)? There are many people who can not afford a degree but they get one through student loans. Often these students are in debt for a long time but it's a choice I suppose.

Re: Ornge Pilot Pay vs. Medics Pay

Are paramedics legally considered an essential service? It's not hard to figure the implications there if medevac paramedics are as well.

Re: Ornge Pilot Pay vs. Medics Pay

How does the MNO Medevac contract work? Who works for who? For all I don't know right now, Doc seems about spot on. We see how this seems to be a bit of some 'downturn economics' on the flyers side (I'm so sick of the US election). There's just more of us than there are paramedics...we'll do it for ...

Re: General Airspray

It's not really a place to build time. They're good people and Paul is a very decent guy to talk to, but if you're looking for a stepping stone in flying, GA's probably not it. More frequently the ground jobs come up (mixing) and if you're not flying elsewhere these positions are short-term and good...

Sorry I couldn't commit this year. Looks like you found a bunch though.

Your team, I'll just help where I can. I lov...

Re: LightSpeed Thirty 3 G

I guess in fairness probably any ANR headset will eventually present some issues. They seem to be a bit delicate that way so all you can do is try to look after them. The issues which have been cropping up with the new Zulu are probably to be expected but it sounds like Lightspeed is trying to addre...

I've sent mine in recently as well...problems with static and the ANR. I have a friend who's had problems as well. I'm not sure that the quality of lightspeed headsets is quite top notch. My old 20XL was a relatively affordable ANR solution when I desperately needed one, and I traded up to the 30 wh...

Re: Borden Airshow

The Skyhawks contract was put up for bid at some point. Fayard bid well and that's why the CASA was there. The optics of it are a little muddied though, I understand your point.

Thanks Cheez. We're new to the pool so we were hoping we could have things explained a bit. The points don't mean much in competing if you don't know what they're being awarded for. Can we assume then if your team has least PIM's you get 10 points, least SOG's 10 pts, lowest save % 1 pt....etc.etc. ...

How are the points awarded? Is there a breakdown somewhere? What are G's,A's, PPG's, SO's, PIM's etc. each worth? I assume it's set a certain way. Cheers, the BCB's
