Or better yet just use the force lol. Anyhow each to their own. What I read was the white light has advantages for faster processing of information, better focus. My head lamp has both and both colors are dimmable.

What color is your instrument light? The recommendation is based on being able to see colors. For me it works. I have a headlamp that’s extremely dimmable and I find it a better solution then red where you can’t see colors.

They actually recommend a dim white light these days per Transport Canada.

You fly in this thing and you can die in it. Get a 2nd opinion and screw his feelings. People fly fair distances to go with a good mechanic for their planes. Get use to that idea. Also, in my experience up here in Canada having a good mechanic is hard. Most can do the basic, but specific...

Yeah the plane is not registered to Brampton Flight Centre. https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/2/ccarcs-riacc/ADet.aspx?id=18825&rfr=RchSimp.aspx Vs...

So giant helium ballon? Like caps but keeps you in the air till it all leaks out?

Where was that info found? Carful with the badly written news. The airport it’s based at is owned and operated by the Brampton flight center. There are many private planes based out of there. And I think some news outlet has said he’s part of the flying club. Again the club field host private...

You need decent internet for it not to be a big pain in the butt. All the updates have a bit that requires downloading while in the game. I used to have 50mbps link and it was annoying. Can take hours. Now I have 1.5gbps fiber, updates are done in minutes.

Also watch out for deadbeat partners. There is this one partnership at my field that’s alway listing. The shares are super cheap but I understand they had issues with one partner who was a student who was late in payment. Airplanes are expensive a bunch of people early I. Their careers might...

I know it's mostly Americans here, but I just read that by regulation all car gas will have ethanol in the near future up here. There are still places you can find ethanol free but the numbers are going to drop overtime. https://copanational.org/ethanol-in-mogas-now-in-effect/ I still see...

Wow my ppl exam cost me 250 Canadian. But you know everything in aviation is expensive.

I think lots of people are confusing the conditions vs the bureaucracy. Bureaucracies often have problems, don't feel right, don't feel fair to the individual. That isn't new and often is actually a necessary evil. Not saying anyone should take it or leave it, it is a case by case situation...

It’s normal like others say. It’s not normal if you start think everything is peachy. That’s when you might become dangerous. I was just finished doing my night solo for the rating, and my CFI told me to keep questioning what’s happening on approach. He on purpose put me on the short runway...

I am one of the odd ones, the mask and I really have no issue. My brother has to use CPAP and I think he's pretty sporadic. I have no issue and most other CPAP users are surprised that I can sleep with that thing on every night and pretty much anywhere. For me CPAP is hugely difference. I was...

A really complicated topic here. I have worked in consumer software, 99.9999 safety stuff, and now automotive OEM stuff. There are a lot of differences. In safety critical software and systems, the key word at times is "mitigation". Instead of being absolutely sure it wouldn't fail, you...

I don't know how we can take a case of someone being grounded and then killing himself as a reason for more lenient approach to mental health? I would think if you can't see your way past an event like that, there exists a valid question what else could have caused you to snap? Frankly, that...

I know someone who did do that and lucky for them the engine died just as they turn into the active.

You can also check for grey lead bromide dust to show where it could be leaking. Assuming you are using 100ll.

Previously a question about joining patterns, now one about xc fuel. It’s kinda concerning, these question from someone after a commercial rating. Understanding the rules isn’t that a rather important part of being a pilot?
