+1!

The AOC specifies the number of crew members, which must then be reflected in the COM. The operation must also have SOPs to operate 2 crew. The qualifications of the crew (like the F/O having a PCC or PPC and the PIC having a PPC) are outlined in CAR 703.88.

CAR 700.15 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no air operator shall assign a flight crew member for flight time, and no flight crew member shall accept such an assignment, if the flight crew member’s total flight time in all flights conducted by the flight crew member will, as a result, exceed....

If fun is the goal, go fly with an instructor, go have fun. But, I agree with Bede, that older people pick up the skills more slowly, and are more prone to errors. I have type trained a number of pilots on more advanced types, and I have found it to be nearly universal that a young pilot will pick ...

To the OP:
Where did this narrative of this incident come from? I just searched the CADORS by region and by operator name and can't find anything

Got my float rating quite a few years ago, but haven't flown in quite a few years. After getting the rating, I rented a 170 on floats.... once. On the medium size lake it was based on, it was pretty scary - it took forever to get on the step and climbed like an absolute pig. That was with two of us ...

I definitely understand other people's perspectives on this issue, and I do regret several life choices I have made. That being said I really am in a bit of a life mess, maybe it is one of my own making, but it is in fact real. I was hoping for a little assistance, some of the posts here are really...

That's what I couldn't really figure out- I've heard people refer to the flying club in Mooncton, which to me implies rental, but I haven;t heard details

...Margaree has nothing in the way of services and I am not sure what goes on there lately. I was over it on Saturday June 16 and it looked like some sort of party and car races there. I over flew at 3500 and they had something parked on the taxiway. I never landed as I was unsure as to what was go...

There's a new flying club in Moncton, but I don't really know anything about them. Just googled and found the Moncton Aero Club at

I don’t doubt that there would be some sort of long term effect. But if you’re concerned about that, then where is your concern for the majority of us who consume alcohol while not on the job? Alcohol, especially when consumed chronically, has very serious side effects. There have been high profile...

To all the pot smokers who say that one last week is no biggie. Talk to your medical examiner. If you test positive you are in for a world of hurt. No rationalization is going to help. Again. Dont believe me. Talk to your medical examiner about what will happen if you test positive. It must be a gr...

Shellbrook RCMP received a complaint of an airplane that made an emergency landing Someone made a complaint? Interesting choice of words. Was someone actually bitching about an emergency landing? Or did they just report an emergency landing? The following statement of no charges have been laid at t...

...a dispatcher or customer service agent - that will allow me to gain operational exposure to the field, while giving me a sufficient income to save up and start flying.... This is the part that leapt out at me - I had a friend who a few years back wrote her exams and started dispatching with a fe...

I know it sounds old fashioned in this era of technology, but when I was studying for various exams, as I read the material I took notes longhand. Was gonna type them in but I realized I wasn't just using my notes to read from afterwards so much as writing the info on my brain by writing it on paper...

You guys re so jaded - I just thought it was an expression of "Yay - we're home!" And incidentally, I may not clap for the dentist, but I do thank him. Since you may not get to meet your pilots face to face, perhaps it is a way that some people say thanks.

The folks at Lightspeed really stand behind their product. I had a problem with the boom mike not staying in place (i.e. lost its flexibility) - it was way out of warranty (by two years I think), and they fixed it for free, I just had to ship it to them. While it was there they also fixed the cord t...

One thing that VFR traffic can sometimes forget is to watch out for the IFR guys, who may be joining straight in off the IFR approach, even at a non-MF airport.

Buying an aircraft from: PST GST HST (NS, NL and NB only) a private individual Yes No Yes a GST registered business Yes Yes Yes a foreign country Yes Yes Yes Not sure with your above graph whether that no refers to the GST or to NL, but be careful that there'snot simply a misalignment in terms betw...

Excellent post, PilotDAR - technology is wonderful and a great aid to decision making, but can also be a great hindrance to learning. The question of combating get-home-itis is a good one, because I remember first encountering it in a C172 with the ink not yet dry on my PPL, and it was still happeni...
