Next step…
Friday, February 6th, 2009I’m hoping to enroll in a Multi IFR course within the next few weeks. I’m considering Toronto Airways or Canadian Flyers for my training but can’t make up my mind. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m getting very close to 150 hrs and I think I’m ready for the next step!
Looking forward to Spring !
Friday, January 23rd, 2009This winter has really taken a toll on my flight training. Living up here in the winter snow belt has been absolutely crazy.

Still no license..
Thursday, October 18th, 2007I still haven’t had a chance to fly with the chief flight instructor. I’m getting very anxious to go since it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since my preflight test. I’m scheduled for tomorrow, but the weather is looking like rain and high winds. I will keep everyone updated.
Car problems = Canceled Flight
Sunday, October 7th, 2007Well bad luck hit me again…. I was on my way to me flight with the chief instructor when my car suddenly began to shake. I changed the rear brakes the night before so I thought maybe I didn’t bleed them properly and there is air in the front caliper… So I called CAA to […]
