I see this is your first post here so I'll be gentle. Your last two questions have been answered ad nauseum if you had bothered to search or at a minimum, read the Recruiting FAQ. As for your first two questions, it depends. It varies from year to year, but I will tell you that at it's highest...

I think most of you need to recheck your history. England (later Great Britain and finally the United Kingdom) has been a Constitutional Monarchy since the 1200's, that's almost 800 years since the King (or Queen) has held absolute power there. So your comment about the Queen sending Canadian...

Round and round we go. Every year someone asks this question and every year the same answer comes out. Nothing in the CANFORGEN mentioned a pay raise for FY 07/08. So, until you see a CANFORGEN mentioning a raise for FY 07/08, then you can assume we aren't getting one.

If you had searched or even read the Recruiting FAQ, you would have found your answer. Start here: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/21101/post-103989.html#msg103989 If that doesn't answer your question, PM a Mod and someone will unlock this. Army.ca Staff

I would suggest you let your husband deal with this, and get some help from his instructors. Most new members of the CF don't have an intimate knowledge with how things work, thus any comments coming from a new member's spouse are even less informed since you have zero experience with how the...

If she's issued a uniform to wear, then she'll get the slip ons for it.

When I was in language school, there were 80 pilots there, so more like 5 courses ahead, but who's counting? Times have changed I guess, it was 7 years ago that I first got my number for Moose Jaw. Degree or Diploma gets you a bypass, I have no degree.

Sometimes you don't have the option and no, the wait is not the same. I jumped ahead of everyone on my BOTC due to my bypass.

Since square one doesn't have an exact definition...are you talking the point in training or what you learn. Straight and level flight is square one, no one starts in Moose Jaw doing ILS approaches or low level nav, hell, you probably won't even do the take off on Clearhood 1. Everyone starts...

Sure is square one, I'm going to guess you haven't done BFT so you wouldn't know that Clearhood 1 is straight and level flight. That's pretty much square one for a Commercial pilot, it sure was for me.

Here's the crazy thing about health, you could have a heart murmur and not even know about it until you go to Toronto and get an ultra sound done. Heart murmur = rejected for pilot. All pilots are deployable. SAR pilots don't tend to deploy outside the country but you'll live your live carrying...

Hippie, As you will learn at 406, Dual time is logged when you have a U/T category and while flying with a qualified MH Instructor, same as Moose Jaw and Portage. First Pilot time is logged when at the controls with a valid category on type, in your case, MH CoPilot (MHCP). 2nd Pilot time is...

Correct. The difference is you had to do a TC ride to get your multi rating, as did I. Military applicants don't have to do a flight test to get it, they only need to meet the requirements as laid out by John_Galt.

I have a Commercial Aeroplane licence and I gotta say, as far as written tests go, I've never heard of a CSTAR. PSTAR is a test to get a student pilot permit, PPAER is the written test to get a PPL. To get a CPL, you write the CPAER. For DND credit towards a CPL, you need to write the...

I see that, you're just pointing out that they're different? Since we all upgrade to Aircraft Captain and requal every year, it seems to me that it's easier for a DND applicant to get the type rating.

What requirements?

That's no different than a civvie requesting a type rating. It's actually easier than you think. I know many people that have ATPLH licences but have very little solo flight time since all operational helos are two pilot (except the Kiowa guys back in the day). I only have about 10 hrs solo...

421.20 is for a Pilot Permit on Gyroplanes. Pilot permits are considerably different than Pilot Licences. Specifically, Airline Transport Pilot Licence (Helicopters), or ATPLH for short. 421.35 details the requirements for ATPLH. We meet the skill requirement, experience requirement is usually...

That's because we all have medium to large helicopter experience. I have almost 600 hrs on S-61s and 115 hrs on Jet Rangers. 99% of civvie pilots have an abundance of Robinson time, but very little, if any at all, turbine large helicopter time. Kinda hard to turn down a 1000+ hr Sea King pilot...

Here's where we disagree. Even a Specialist Cpl doesn't have nearly the same responsibility a Captain would. As a Captain, I can sign for an aircraft. As the Aircraft Captain, I have command of all personnel on board and I'm responsible for safety of flight. There isn't a Cpl in the entire CF...
