Leafs?
I haven't been watching much TV or been on the computer lately, but I heard the Leafs were playing pretty well. Anyone know if they made the play-offs?

Raven20000 - I've never heard of that exception for insurance before. Please provide more info or PM me as I would be interested in getting more info. As for the question about which is better - both touch-and-go and full stop have their advantages. It all depends on what particular aspect of what t...

It's ironic, this kind of post coming from someone who calls himself "the professional". Veiled, generic coments do no-one any good. Anybody with sense will check out any potential employer (in any industry) carefully before signing on. If they don't have that sense a post like yours provides no hel...

I realize that I may be biting on the lure, but in case you're serious.... The flight instructor rating is probably the last one you should ever choose on price. (Actually, you probably shouldn't choose any training based on price, but that's another story). In your flight instructor training you'll...

Last I checked about 1 1/2 years ago, TC said they weren't printing it any more. We do distribute the information to our students from the couple of copies we still have hanging around. A very useful little booklet and it frustrates me that when TC has something actually useful, they decide to disco...

To lean rich of peak, get established in level flight (trimmed and desired rpm). Slowly lean the mixture until you get a slight drop in rpm. You don't have to watch the tach (you should be looking outside), you can hear the change. Then begin to enrich the mixture until you get maximum rpm (peak). T...

Centennial Flight Centre in Edmonton at City Centre also has an Invigilator... From the Webster dictionary intransitive senses : to keep watch; especially British : to supervise students at an examination transitive senses : SUPERVISE, MONITOR I agree Cat. The word does seem more than a bit hokey. B...

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon over the years. Many people who encounter someone with a different, often more positive or agreeable, attitude from theirs will respond by referring to that person using negative or derogatory terms. This is especially true if the other person is more successfu...

Good on ya, TorontoGuy. Nice to hear that things are smoothing out. Be careful when you read stuff on here. There does tend to be some negativism and sometimes posters use quite sweeping generalizations when they are actually talking about relatively isolated instances. I think most schools actually...

Not sure what type of a/c you'll be flying, but in a 172... - as the pilot FLY THE AIRPLANE (don't get so caught up in the picture subject you forget about safety) - think about sun angle and the resultant shadows - set up at stable, lower but safe airspeed (20 degrees flaps and 2000 rpm will give y...

There is no regulatory requirement for another test. However, I assume you would be renting an airplane when you do go. If so, you can reasonably expect that the company renting the plane may require a check flight. How long it will take will depend on your total hours, type of flight you're plannin...

Well Cat, I think that is truly the best advice you've ever given on this board (that I've seen at least). The best advice I can give is never get in the airplane until you have flown the whole trip in your mind, then if things go wrong you have a better chance to deal with the problem. I haven't he...

Well, for me I'd find the Harmatten the worst. Dust and especially sand doesn't melt and go away. Even when the storm is past, the grit would be everywhere - in the engines, instruments, door seals, etc. (Not to mention your shorts :wink: ) I've never been there, but reading a bit about it makes it ...

I'm curious if anyone who thinks Bertuzzi didn't intend to land on Moore like he did has ever actually played hockey themselves? I'm not even a very good player and if I collide with someone in a corner and we fall down, it's relatively easy to "arrange" to land on top of the other guy if you so des...
