Questions About Canadian Private Pilot License

Judging from the keywords visitors are searching for to find this site, I think many people are looking for information on a specific topic, rather than general info on Canadian PPLs. Unfortunately I realized that there is not much of that kind of material here, so I am offering this page as a happy medium until there is more.

Don't waste time scrolling through dozens of webpages to find the one tiny thing you were looking for - just ask me. Write a comment below, and I'll answer it as soon as I can, and wherever possible mention any references I use.

Fix for Opera 10 for Mac Freezing and High CPU Usage

Today, my copy of Opera 10 for Mac did a particular stunt for the third time I can remember. It freezes completely, uses in the neighbourhood of 50% of my CPU, and treats me to a repeat of this performance despite re-launching Opera and rebooting my Mac.

Ottawa Flight School Comparison: OAS vs OFC

A person wanting to begin flight training in Ottawa is prepared to spend in the neighbourhood of ten thousand dollars, and it only makes sense to get the best deal and the best experience. Choosing a flight school is something I did almost two years ago, and I believe I made the best choice at the time. That being said, has the situation changed now?

Flight Test Passed!

All right! I passed my flight test, so I will get my new license after doing a bit of paperwork Smiling Here are the details.
