he may still have to do IFR, and may need to use the ILS fitted to a 172. Thats if he is flying Cessna's, WOW what a view that would be though of Toronto.:)

Re: Three most memorable moments......
Thats good then, must have changed since i last flew, when in the UK. I had to do a few hours IFR, done during the night with blinkers on. Ha, no fun not seeing the view.
Congrats on the solo though, that is such a buzz when the pilot gets out and says, "off you go, see you in the crew room later" |

I don't believe there has ever been any requirement in Canada to take any IFR training for PPL.

On the equine theme, riding along with ("following") a fox hunt, was memorable and had specifically Canadian themes; casual cruelty to animals, killing of wildlife for fun, snobbery about money rather than class. No guns or clubs involved but otherwise it was rural Canada in microcosm. I've no need to do it again.

Re: Three most memorable moments......
ok Ben is learning in a 172 and I know I could sit in the back but I'm displaying extra ordinary patience and waiting for him to pass , so it really just will be him and me in the plane :)
I believe at the city airport it used to be tradition that you got dunked in the harbour :) but I think a few of them melted or summink :lol: He has to acquire so many hours of instrument training but his IFR is a separate add rating on his licence. Believe me he has it all planned put as to what order he's gonna do them all in. Personally I have no idea how he copes with the " recovering from an usual attitude" under the hood. Last time his instructor put him in a spin and he had to recover using instruments alone. I dunno , maybe its better when you can't see the ground spinning :) |
