The Flair Cadet program is very expensive (even for aviation). It's 145K, about twice what other flight colleges are. Might want to consider other college programs that can offer more options and not be tied to a specific carrier.

I just received my instructor rating renewal sticker from a renewal I did in July, so 8 months later.

Juan Browne has a report with audio of the aircraft overhead. You can hear the spiral develop and the breakup

You do not have to restart. All you need to do is complete a flight review with an instructor, and write the PSTAR. The flight review is as long as it takes to get you back to being a safe pilot again.

Brampton has several class 1's.

Taking off Goderich straight over the water on an overcast night was memorable during my night rating.

Yes it is. Flying the approach over the black water is also a great experience, We go to Goderich for this reason for the night cross country.

Suggestion, for first flight start during late twilight, so the student can still see the familiar sights of taxi ways and runways but the lights are on. Local flight in the darkness is good to show what basic navigating at night is like around areas they are already familiar with - it's familiar to...

Looks like advertising for a commercial product. Why not.... I'll do it too. But my e logbook is free

You won’t in any practical sense be able to graduate from class 4 to class 3 on a part time basis. Not true! I'm a part time class 3 instructor. It'll take you longer to upgrade, but it's still very possible. And being a class 4 isn't that bad. Yes you have to have reports on your students, but you...

Yes, Brampton has several class 1's to do instructor ratings. It's all self paced. Ground can be on on one, or in a group. They also hire a lot of their newly trained instructors.

Don't think it's a TC regulation. It's more about insurance at the charity. The charity can set whatever requirements they want. I few several flights for Hope Air, before the requirements increased, when they did, I was no longer "qualified".

You can't fly your own aircraft to the island. It's a closed national park. Only way to get there is by a flight service and it's at least $2200 per person.

Nothing in the comments now. Maybe it was an old comment from last winter.

There's no reason not to use an excel spreadsheet. This. Or make it portable and use Google Sheets, then you can update it from your phone. The student needs to be able to enter their solo flights and a Google Doc does not provide any form of security in preventing a student from changing informati...

The aircraft shown on that website is not a tail wheel. No info on the website about what other aircraft he offers. Prices seem high compared to other, larger flight schools which have a lot more flexibility on scheduling.

About time TC went electronic.

Seems a real flight centre

Did seem a bit staged. Who does a full spin on an intro? At least it was an Aerobat.

I had my initial done in January of 2020, and I got my sticker in the mail in May. Expect it to take some time.

And that was before they were shutdown for Covid. Delays are much longer now.
