I don't know if things have changed up here in Ontario but I seem to remember my buddy having to do a certain amount of GS before they got to fly. But that was decades ago. When I was flying ground school was really just the time spent learning the theories regarding flight. Thinks like going over the reading or whatever study material the instructor hands out and how to do a preflight inspection or navigate a globe (yes, jt, a globe!). It isnt really a "school" except in some of the really big & formal training airports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good pic, if I find it I'll put it up Bruce Bruce was a good guy and his wife Rosemary was a wonderful woman, I remember guys doubting his claim to being in the service because he couldn't remember or give a fuck about his MOS, he was drafted even though he had only one eye, he looked good in a uniform in the pic I saw in his living room It's OK and there are still folks helping each other out over there. 12-18-2002 for me, where the fuck has the time gone? 137 this time Vin https://www.arcticcat.com/snow/snowmobiles/model/2018-en-xf-8000-cross-country-limited-es/ Edited September 15, 2017 by Sal Rosenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if things have changed up here in Ontario but I seem to remember my buddy having to do a certain amount of GS before they got to fly. But that was decades ago. Im just trying to finish up my PPL (Ontario), as soon as your registered in flight school you can do your in air time which is 40 hrs as your doing the ground school portion as well. You have to pass the in house practice exam (most places do this) before you write the transport canada exam. Surprisingly you only need 60% on the written exam which comprises of 4 different subjects and a total of 100 multiple guess questions. Its the cat 3 medical exam that really is the worst part, many meds and medical issues will prohibit ppl to get a pass. If hook nose goes into a Drs for a medical they would probably flunk his ass just on first glance.

If/when you get the chance to fly in a low wing like a Piper or similar try that, I found it much more exciting when I got to take the controls.

I'm going to buy a plane late spring next year and most of the planes on my list are low wing ......I plan to finish my ppl in my own plane and be using it for travel at the end of next summer or maybe a little later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
