Curious for those who have operated both. Is there any difference in maintenance cost? My experience says no, but my n=1. Basically, the only cheaper thing is the purchase price and fuel. Everything else is almost the same.

So why is it necessary to use 172's to train people to fly? Let me reflect the question back to you. A lot of (successful) flight schools use C172s, DA20's, DA40's, and a variety of aircraft other than the (cheapest C150)? Why do you think that is? That's very true. Flight training is expensive reg...

Just did an overhaul on an O-200 with a reputable shop. It cost me $27000. That included a minor crank flange repair ($1000), 4 cylinders, 2 mags, removal, freight, reinstall, taxes. It adds up. No disagreement here. My parents paid close to that overhauling the O-200 in their 150 as well. But that...

Welcome to aviation. Guys will correct your grammar, attack you for being entitled and not "paying your dues", attack you for "lowering the bar", not respecting your elders, etc. Anyways, to answer your question, get a job anywhere there are pilots- fuel planes, work a ticket counter, whatever. Make...

A major on an O-200 shouldn't cost $20K. Especially if it's calendar timed-out and not hours timed-out. "All the other stuff," if it costs $20K, is putting a nice chunk of change in an AME's pocket, nothing more. And that still only brings you to $70K. Regardless, the point was that you don't need ...

Oh yes, the 10000 hr airline pilot who is not current on the Cessna and needs a long checkout to get used to handling a light single again.

And you wonder why there’s a negative stereotype of FTU’s?

If someone has spent the last twelve years in an 737, wouldn't you want to check they can demonstrate a pretty good soft field landing, too? You're not interested if they can make a power-off 180 that works out? No slow flight? Maybe they can, and maybe they need some practice, but wouldn't you wan...

But what if he does need to do the whole course again? I doubt any Class 1 instructor is going to issue a flight test recommendation to an expired class 3 instructor who hasn't flown a light aircraft for five years without checking most, if no all, of the air exercises; and there are 24 of them. Yo...

...I can't figure out where in the solicitor-client relationship you sit. Are you the solicitor or a party with a law degree who represents others by virtue of your law degree? Honestly, I worry about a costs award against you personally. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I follow some of these clai...

Of course Ray still hasn't indicated whether he took this case on a contingency deal or not. Like most ambulance chasing lawyers they just chase the money.... Well, what do you know? Surprise, surprise. Another cheap shot! From behind the cloak of anonymity, again. Thanks much. Please, tell us abou...

However, what would be the effect of pro-spin aileron?

I fly a plane where the approved spin recovery procedure includes pro-spin aileron, to recover from “difficult” spins.

Interesting. I have never heard of that before. What type is that?

Good to hear.

I can't answer all of your question. However I can speak to a few points. If you have a valid Instructor Rating in general its gold anywhere in Canada, especially in Ontario from what I hear. You should be able to get a job the second you pass the flt test. Is that still the case? Even for class 4?...

Non union employees generally have more rights in terms of severance for constructive dismissal during a temporary layoff.

Actually the opposite is true.

Howard Levitt from the National Post has written good articles on this subject. It's required reading if your work situation has changed.

Okay so I am arguing with my flight instructor...... Which may be a part of the problem. Just take the training as it is presented. Some things are simplified for the purposes of just getting through the curriculum. Sure, if you want to delve into the fine details, go for it, but, find an expert, a...

To climb, more lift needs to be created to overcome gravity. The lift is created by increasing AOA and then more thrust is added to overcome drag to maintain airspeed. Ughh. Shudder. AuxBatOn is correct, but I believe he flies something with huge thrust to weight. For most GA airplanes, AOA reducti...

COPA June 2020 pg 47. Says excellent condition but out of annual.

Aha! So you admit that you are not a lawyer. My recommendation remains the same, which is: "You should seek and obtain the advice of a lawyer having experience in this area to review the facts of your situation and applicable law so as to determine if there is a case and if so, whether it is worthy...

No you cannot. To sue you must have a provable cause of action. In this case there is none.

You can't layoff people indefinitely unless the CBA says otherwise as per the CLC. The CLC says you can do a temporary layoff for up to 3 months with the option to extend it another 3 months. after that it must be a permanent layoff and then severance must be paid out as per the CLC. I'm guessing W...

Hey Sonic,

Thanks for the honest response. I wish you all the best getting back to work.

That NoSocks guy certainly isn’t me. I know that...because I’m him. My buddy (who is very active in this forum) looped me in ( I won’t out him because you’ll probably treat him like a Swoop pilot - I mean, a WS pilot is friends with a noted WS pilot hater...it’s the stuff of nightmares right?). Alt...

The service of alcohol provincial laws would only apply while the aircraft is on the ground. It would revert to federal law once in the air. No it wouldn’t. The provincial liquor monopoly is not constitutionally inapplicable to the appellant airlines. http://canlii.ca/t/1fr0x Forgive me for being a...
