;) Just spent 600$ on some dual practice lol. Mostly instrument work. so expensive :( I was wondering, are those ~550 applicants only those making it to ASC, or the total number who initially applied for pilot? I suppose once ASC weeds a bunch of us out, the odds will be better for those who...

So a 1 in 10 chance ..... yikes.

Actually, I just finished a 5000$ rebuild on it. And thats just the cost of parts - i did the labour myself. (mostly performance bolt on's, but the motor was all OEM stuff) Not once did i have trouble finding parts for it :D  All available in north america due to the LHD counter part. I put...

^^ You too :)     I'll try lol. Im going up for a refresher flight this wed. just to get used to a yoke again. been using a computer joystick for too long lol Cya there :D Good luck all.

I imported a 1989 RHD GT-Four with 45k km for 8k$ Its my first car, and I absolutely LOVE it.   Never once have i regreted buying a rhd car. Not only that, but this one is rare, only 26000 made, only 6000 of this perticular trim type (narrow body) For the price, you cant beat the low km of...

I received my tickets and medical files today. Im leaving nanaimo on the 26th, then departing vancouver on the 910 flight number 34 to toronto.  anyone else on that flight? This doesnt apply to ROTP does it? For ROTP they dont have a selection board till after the 1st year of school right?

If you dont get in one year, try again next year. Im on year #4 lol. Finally get my chance to go to ASC.  ;D  I think the recruiting centre is sick of me lol

Alright, thanks :) Guess ill brush up on my fractions. Calculators have spoiled me lol

Do you know if the Airnav test is manditory if your're only applying for pilot?  Guess it cant hurt to take it.  Im pretty sure i wont be able to pass it anyway lol.

Just to confirm. Is there a written portion for the Pilot exam? Or is that stricktly for Anav.  If you do write the Anav tests, will the score affect Pilot?

Cool :) So you're based out of Esquimalt? Maybe we'll be schedualed for the same flight over. Im in Nanaimo Good Luck to all :)

I did, ROTP through Civi at Uvic. They phoned me with my offer back in february i think. This is my 4th attempt at pilot. Every year for the past 3 years, I had heard they were changing the vision standards - and they didnt. Well, I'm glad I turned everything else down and kept at it because...

I am,  I guess I'll see you there :) Got my blue guide book yesterday. Pretty straight forward.

^^ That's what they gave me.  A few weeks later, I called them and asked for the possible dates for ASC. They gave me a number of choices, and I chose 3 I would be available for. Looks like I'm heading off to ASC in Late April :)

Reminds me of that south park episode. - Cartoon Wars.

I would jump at the chance for RMC personally.. If I could simply transfer over from where I'm at now, and if I wasn't in a long term relationship, with a new car im trying to pay off.... The flexibility of civey at that point is why I've chosen that route. Otherwise, I'd be all over RMC. Its...

Wow, i seriously need to get in shape. Im only 140 pounds, 5' 9"  and can only jog all of 1500m before i need to take a 2-3 minute rest. I'll try the sprinting interval method.

I was told that although i might be able to transfer my credits over to RMC, i would have to start from year one. Im currently in second year, and taking english and computer science over again really didnt appeal to me lol. Although I'm sure my grades would have been pretty good :) So I've...

I've found the interview process has changed over the last 4 years. Back on 04, my interview was quite long, 1.5 hours roughly. We covered my application, my extra ciricular activites, hobbies, grades etc. Then she asked me some mock command scenarios, and how I, as a potential officer, would...

^^ Is that after the 1st year of schooling? Because a few of us have been given ROTP offers and have accepted them. Is the interview for the specific MOC then?
