Re: 12V or 24V DC to 400 hz 115v Sine Wave Circuit
Voltage Conversion: You'd need a hefty step-down transformer to convert 115V to a usable voltage for typical electronics (usually 12V or lower DC). Why does it have to be hefty? Frequency Conversion: Most electronics are designed for 50 or 60 Hz AC. The 400 Hz frequency might cause malfunctions or ...

Re: Failed Instructor Rating flight test. Any tips to do better?
Usually when I hear stories like this, "my instructor taught me wrong", I get suspicious. But I don't in this case. Your narrative strikes me as quite credible. My worry is that there's a bunch of other exercises that have also been taught to you wrong- and you don't want to find this out one failed...

Re: PWA vs CP Air merger
Westjet ALPA seems intent on going to war with Sunwing pilots, and "winning" the merger, even if it means shooting themselves in the foot during the process. They can't even be bothered to consider adopting parts of the Sunwing contract that are better than their own, because all of their resources...

PWA vs CP Air merger
Long shot, but does anyone happen to have a copy of the seniority list integration arbitration award from the PWA vs CP Air merger? Nordair and EPA merger would be helpful too.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: 12V or 24V DC to 400 hz 115v Sine Wave Circuit
I brought an Artificial Horizon that was incorrectly described as 28v DC but is in fact out of a SkyHawk fighter that used 115V Sine Wave at 400 Hz Would anyone have any circuits or circuit ideas for such a supply?

Re: Too young for a job?
Nonsense. I started flying at 18 as did several friends. The part about insurance is especially BS. I was flying a $1M airplane before I could rent a car. Just show up work hard and act professional.
(BTW I’m curious who told you this. Hopefully not your flight instructor.)

I assume you're a class 4 instructor and have done 5 of the last 10 hours. If so, yes it counts.

Re: Socialized bidding
Socialized bidding is preferential ie. It assigns pairings based on preferences as opposed to seniority

Re: List of lower end of bond & training agreement amounts
About seven years ago the cost to train a Metro pilot was well north of $20k a head ($34k comes to mind but I’m not committing to it) whether you did it entirely on wing or sent them to a place like Flight Safety. Sims ain’t cheap. Interesting. My employer has always told us that training doesn't c...

Re: Flight Training - Criminal Record
It would be nice if OP would answer follow up questions so they can get more specific advice. Anyways, what I would do is try to get any airport job that requires a RAIC- CSA, ramp, etc. If you get denied, at least you know. If you get a RAIC then you know you've passed the screening and will likely...

Re: Ferry piston aircrafts across Canada
I'm with BPF. Every ferry flight that I've done has been a pain. Planes almost always sell because they don't fly enough and planes that don't fly have maintenance issues. Now throw in crossing multiple weather systems, time constraints and you have a recipe for a very difficult trip.

Re: Is this a pipe dream
If your partner is on board go for it. Realistically, you have 25 years left. You can probably retire as a narrow body captain if that’s your thing.

Re: Flight Training - Criminal Record
Sorry guys, how you think it should work and how it actually works are two radically different things in this matter. You can be denied a RAIC for having a relative who is involved in the drug trade. Do I think it's fair? No, but that's the way it is. Lots of background on this site on this topic an...

Re: LOOKING FOR COMPANY TO GET PIC TIME FOR ATPL
Maybe fly jumpers on the weekends?
As other posters have stated, your options may be fairly limited.
I've seen this scenario play out time and time again- new pilot gets on shiny plane with 250 hrs and then watches everyone else upgrade above him because no ATPL.

I have just one request. I have no problem with doing a bit of instructing and then moving on, that is what I did, but being a good instructor is a choice. It is a professional flying job and should be treated as just as worthy of hard work and dedication as any other aviation job. Work hard, train...
