I can only assume that you didn't happen to read who posted the avcanada link above you.

A URL to another post which answers the questions asked is kind of what a moderator does. If I were to call you a name that offended someone to a point, she'd probably put me in time out. Also by saving the bandwidth of so many useless posts, we are saving Avcanada money.

And once you get to know Lil you will quickly find out that her "real life" job is pretty important.

Awe shucks, Nark

But since KAF doesn't appear to get all the love he needs from NAV CANADA, I have responded to his request for action, before heading off to earn the money to pay for my internet connection.

Whatever you guys, pilots can't read.....

It's not the math pilots have difficulty with...it's the spelling & grammar we see on this board....

The FAA have a number of great publications you can download and read.

The Flight Safety Foundation have great resources. I recommend the Upset Recovery tool.

Jeppesen's Aviation Weather is an excellent book.
Jeppesen's Turbulence is also a great book for understanding 'nasty' weather.

Thanks Kirsten, I hope you enjoy! Sad to part with the books but very glad for the reason - so - hope others will pick items out of the library too! Some good deals there, and I enjoyed every book. I'll be adding a few more titles, once I get the information from my "librarian" (Dad!).
Cheers,
