Start with The COPA Guide to Buying an Aircraft. It is in the Members Only area. http://www.copanational.org/BuyinganAircraft.cfm Some good advice and a few sample agreements that you can modify to suit your needs but more importantly will get you thinking about the details you don't want to overloo...

Really put ForeFlight through it's paces on the trip to SUN ‘n FUN last weekend. Flight Planning, Charts, Frequencies, Taxi Diagrams all at your fingertips. Truly amazing. I spoke with them at their booth and complete CFS data and VNC Charts are coming. Apparently the deal has been done and they are...

Perhaps self evident, but does that mean you can only fly VFR OTT in Canada?

I am looking for an experienced IFR Instructor (Freelance) for a Group 3 Rating to be conducted in my own aeroplane.

Please PM if interested and we can discuss all the details.

Pretty sure it does not. You have to subscribe to the US package to get the US VFR Sectionals.

If it's by private aircraft: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/

The latest update (v4.4) has a new Documents section (iPAD version only) where you can (among all sorts of FAA stuff) download the latest CAP GEN and Chart Legends. Additionally, I also noticed that on the Canadian Airport listings the A/FD section has been replaced with the term CFS. No CFS data is...

Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

It's been a few years since I've been to Airventure - maybe it's time again!

Great trailer Anthony.

I would definitely watch this. Just waiting for a date and channel to set my PVR to always record. I know tons of the folks at the club that would also tune it.

I just bought a new Zulu2 headset from http://www.unikpilotshop.com/.
Competitive price and free shipping - can't go wrong with that.
The front page of their website says free shipping on Aeronautical & Enroute Charts.
Not sure about their stock or other stuff but worth checking out.

Colonel Sanders has some valid points about user status/ranking, and we have been examining several types of this for a long time now, I don't post much but I do frequent the site often. There is tons of great info as long as you can sift through all the garbage. You get to know who the knowledgeab...

No, not that I can see/find so just the plates. In terms of the regular CAP volumes it is not a digital reproduction of the book - just the plates in what looks like a good quality scan of the original.

$150 per year for all of Canada. I just fired up my iPad and downloaded the latest ForeFlight updates - all the CAP Plates are there. Great Stuff!! I am only a regular HD subscriber ($75 per year). The $150 Pro version gives you the geo-referenced approach plates or is there some other subscription...

Interesting timing. I am a ForeFlight user but was always disappointed with the lack of Canadian content. Just announced: http://jeppdirect.jeppesen.com/legal/charts/ifr_jepptc.jsp Looks like were now going to have to choose. Hopefully some of the magazines or electronic rags will do a side by side ...

So that means you can go through the whole course twice? and replay while within a module as much as you want until you jump to the next one? Pretty much. The entire course is divided into 10 separate modules. You have to finish each module before the next one is made available. Finish means clicki...

I signed up for and took the Aerocourse Procedures Course but did it as a stand alone. You can find it here: http://facultyofflight.com/ The Aerocourse website is vague but I am pretty sure this is the "New Online IFR Procedures Course" you get when signing up for one of their weekend courses. http:...

Need to start studying for the INRAT. Anybody have experience with either of the below courses? Any reason why one would be better than the other?

Any other online resources out there?

Thanks

There is a new row of hangers being built at Brantford. Not sure if they are spoken for but PM if you want details of who to contact.

Never thought of it in those terms but as you say getting it certified takes little effort and possibly could pay off in the long run. Next stop - CFI of the flying club with logbook in hand. Interesting point about the journey log. I think I'm going to bring mine along to show the CFI who presumabl...

Does this advice apply to PPL's? In other words, will never be looking for a job flying but for insurance, ratings etc.
