Well, i'm currently in Confed, and dont really have the time or the money to rent a float plane. I would love to do it, but there is really no way I can afford it. Right now I can hardly afford coffee. I have 25 hours on floats, and in all honesty I cant see myself picking up any more this year. Not...

blabla, how much does this training cost?

ok, about this training...If I found a job this summer working as a loader or whatever other jobs are there, would I be able to do the AG training during the time I am working? Or even after teh season is over, say fall 2006? I'm currently at Confed College, I will graduate from here with my CPL and...

Thanks for the info Flybabe, always willing to take tips from someone who knows more about it than me, which is basically everyone on one topic or another. I think I will give some guys a call tonight, see what I can learn.

I've been starting to look into where to start my flying career. Wondering where would be a good spot to look at float flying. I'm not afraid to work on teh dock for a season or whatever it takes...short of paying for it. 'm currently in Thunder Bay, wondering if it would be better to look around no...

This would make it easier for the ones that made it to getting a licence to find jobs.

Looking through the CAAA site, and saw that it keeps mentioning drift insurance. I'm assuming this is to cover the operator if some pesticides get onto a crop other than the one being sprayed...am I right? Flybabe, you said 500 hours was a minimum...is this an insurance requirement, or just recommen...

Hi...I'm a new pilot, still working on my commercial, if all goes as planned I will have it next spring...I'm looking into first jobs a little...I dont think I have the patience to instruct, so I'm looking at alternates. Just wondering what people can tell me about Ag flying, whether its something t...

Hey, I heard of a kid violated (no, not by some danm fruit or queer) by the FAA for carying passengers on a student pilot permit, except they were all skydivers and one was his flight instructor who was the PIC for the climb and the last one out of the airplane, whereby the student pilot was solo. ...

Where was the crash in relation to the dump? I've never been out the John Street road any farther than that....

I have been looking around on dif...

Chantal dear, it's only a forest fire(s). Not the second coming of Christ. Although many seem to think so, I don't walk on water...however the water bomber pilots 'skim' over the water which is almost like the same thing. :wink: More proof that pilots are gods. :D :D :D I'll apologize in advance.

haha...I'm on the slowest friggin dial-up anywhere in North America, I guess the smiley hadn't loaded when i clicked reply. Cant wait to get back on highspeed.
