Maybe I'm just used to efficiency and streamlined processes. I'm naturally a very lazy person, so if I see an easier/more efficient way of doing something, most often I will opt for it. In the case of the government of Canada website, it feels like pulling teeth with a rusty set of pliers whenever I...

Maybe, just hopefully maybe, the government of Canada is updating their website so that it looks like it has kept up with change. A website whose front page looks like it's still stuck in 2004? Not to mention navigating that website... I don't know about anyone else, but I would actually appreciate ...

This sounds like a few too many "Karen"s got upset that the house they moved into 3 years ago is in the direct path of someone who's lived in the same house for 20 years' approach path. Seriously, though, if someone starts a petition, or has an example of a letter to write to their MP, let me know, ...

For MIFR, it goes above and beyond the required knowledge. If you want to get test ready, some other textbooks might do well enough.

I definitely recommend the online ground school for PPL and CPL courses.

How long ago was this? I agree with 90kts. It seems unlikely that that was the entirety of the training. However, maybe your friend's son was just so good, he didn't need any extra practice time ;) The syllabus is there for a reason. Assuming one has their cpl, they only need another 15 hours of ins...

Sharper Edge has a good book. Just be aware that some of the answers in the back are wrong.

What school do you attend? Have you flown with a senior instructor recently? 50 hours is getting on the extreme side of things.

I would certainly say that 4.5 hours of ground is staggering! Depends on where you go, but from my experience the CPL oral shouldn't take more than 2 hours. Flight test about the same, and probably a half hour debrief afterwards. How I explain the difference to people between CPL and PPL is that for...

I'm looking at getting into crop dusting. I've got a few hundred hours in taildraggers, and about 900tt. I know the general process: train, get hired, load, fly. I was hoping someone with recent experience (within the last 2 or 3 years) applicating aerially could shed some light on the reality of th...

I would actually say that not all flight schools are created equal. I'm currently working at Harv's Air in Steinbach, and absolutely love it! Best decision I've made. Before I got my rating, I was living in S. Alberta, looking at flight schools there. I almost committed to a few, but Harv's won me o...
