Lots of fear mongering and conspiracy out there, but as I dug into this here is what I glean from it. Here’s the plain-language overview. What changed (in practical terms) Transport Canada now requires more explicit consent from pilots regarding: • What medical information is collected • How it may ...

I can understand the concern around this new disclosure. I’m not saying I endorse every detail of the policy, but from Transport Canada’s perspective, it’s largely making explicit what was already in place behind the scenes. They’re essentially giving full transparency on what pilots are signing off...

Digits, you nailed it. In aviation medicine, it’s unbelievably easy to gloss over—or flat-out omit—critical health details when your exam lives on paper. My GP’s office has an electronic health record that stitches together every lab result, specialist note, and medication detail into one searchable...

Bacon, you're not wrong, but knowing this individual, I know it will be met with lots of gaslighting and lies. If I go the anonymous route with TC, and have reported the health issues that I am seeing and have admitted to, then it should not be an issue with them because everything is being done wit...

I initially attempted to address the matter through the CAME, but the responsibility was redirected back to me, with a suggestion to speak directly with the individual involved. It appeared that the CAME was unwilling to engage in the situation. While I could consider escalating the issue through SM...

Is there a discreet way to raise concerns about an individual's medical fitness—perhaps through Transport Canada—without necessarily initiating a formal or identifiable process?

So, are you saying that an Accountable Executive is never allowed to take holidays? Take some time to deal wth a family emergency or some other personal reason? That they must be around 24/7/365?

Thanks for the info. I have the link and been following it.

It sounds like it is as I was suspecting.

Has anyone here flown into Newark since the ATC debacle occurred there? Are there any issues with long EDCT in or out, or other issues you may have encountered?

Now not too mention that the FAA has implemented the new following requirement; The FAA has published a new rule that will require certificate holders abroad to nominate a physical US address for service. This will be required from April 2 for any new applications; and July 7 for anyone who already ...

Hi Dumbell, Thanks for the info—it’s really got me rethinking my options. If I don’t need a green card, contracting might be more achievable than I initially believed. I’m not drawn to the big iron; my interest lies with the super midsize Cessnas. I even had a US contact who worked exclusively with ...

I must agree with the sentiment that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. As I approach retirement, I’ve been exploring options to remain involved while maintaining the flexibility to set my own schedule and avoid working for a traditional company. At this stage, my ideas are still in t...

Dear Colleagues, I am currently exploring opportunities to engage in contract work within the United States and would appreciate insights from anyone with relevant experience. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the process involved and whether a green card is necessary for a Canadian pro...

You raise excellent points and I agree that it can be very subjective in one's experience. A person could have a great experience at one location with the same provider and the next year end up at a different location with the same institution, but end up having a disappointing experience.

Thanks for the critique. I, too, am an FSI fan. I took a course with CAE in YYZ many years back, and I was not too impressed...but I have no choice this year.

Hi all, I am just looking for the pros and cons between SIM training with FSI vs CAE.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone is aware of an online course for North Atlantic OPS?

One more question for Heavy.

Picking up an IFR clearance from here is it through Nassau Radio on 128.0? Can we get them on the ground?

Thanks Heavy Rayne also good info. Flying in a Citation too so easy peasy! Stopping at MYBC first for a drop off and then I’ll just good old uncontrolled VF and R over to MYEH But that was going to be my next question about ATC, and what I was thinking of doing so you answered that question. We are ...

Thanks Khedrei! Good stuff to know and be aware of. My research looks like Plane, taxi, water taxi, taxi to get to accommodations, but I don't care about the costs as the client doesn't lol! Stopping at a nearby island first and then a 10 minute VFR hop over to Eleuthera. When were you there last an...

Has anyone on here flown into Berry Island/North Eleuthera Bahamas lately? Any Tips? What about places to stay in Eleuthera?

I am looking for a broken Rosen Sunvisor for the Cessna rail system for a project. Must have the rail clip still attached. Toronto Pearson area preferred for my pickup.

If you have a 10-seat aircraft and want to restrict the seating to 9 to be able to fall under 703, does it need to be on the company OC that you are allowed to do this, or can it just be done?

Same question about Flightexec. Who knows something about the WAWCON there?

with them wanting a PPC on two types it should be 30-40% above standard.
