I’m moving to a new place on Monday and would like to update my address with Transport Canada. I was able to do it in person at a TC office during my PPL written exam. However, there must be another way (web, fax, phone) to update your address with their files. Does anyone know (other…

The weather the past four days have been phenomenal. Clear skies and temps in the low twenties. I was able to get up on Friday morning for a 7am “last flight” with my FI. The airport was dead quiet – not what I expected at all. I met my new FI on Saturday and we…
I’m hoping it’s still not too late to take advantage of this situation: The aviation industry is booming, resulting in a shortage of Pilots. I’s been awhile since anyone has been able to make this comment. Unfortunately a side effect of this boom is a shortage of instructors. All flight schools are being challenged in…
I just wrote my final exam for my Economics class. Glad to be on a break for a month. Next semester will be the last two credits that I need to get, Personnel Management and Instruments and Avionics. I’m also moving back to Aurora (I have been living in the city for the past 8…
I know I promised that I would never complain about the weather and not being able to fly… But damn: This is a good time to hit the books, hardcore.
My class mate Lu has his Multi rating and was going to go on a flight tonight up to Collingwood and Haliburton to build some PIC time. I was going to go along for the ride until this happened: 070083 CYKZ TORONTO/BUTTONVILLE MUNICIPAL CYKZ VDF U/S TIL 0703302000 070084 CYKZ TORONTO/BUTTONVILLE MUNICIPAL CYKZ ALL REDL…
I’m still alive, just extremely busy right now. I did go flying on the weekend, but in the right seat. You can read about it at Marks Blog. The two last credits I need from Seneca are being offered next semester. It’s going to be nice seeing my former teachers again. Frankly, I’m sick of…

Went up yesterday for some last minute practice before my exam tomorrow. It was a beautiful day to fly: 5°C and not a cloud in the sky (although the ATIS was reporting few at 26,000′). During my run-up I hear Ground telling everyone to contact Tower on 119.9 for departures. Oh no! I immediately flashed…
