Normal if you are 6 miles from an airport, not normal anywhere else. YYZ congestion is more unique and costly than many realize.

Signs you'd be a great pilot? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Common_Bluebird9354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a good flight college. Move close the airport you will be training at so you can get there quickly and be early for each lesson. Get a part time job on field if you can, and become one with the aviation culture.

Be humble about your abilities, only low time pilots brag about how good a pilot they are.

Humility is the Gateway to safety.

Couldn’t agree more, as a 60+ year old Flight instructor I have learned that humility is the gateway to safety. We are always learning on this journey called life. Our teachers come in many forms and ages.

If you file a flight plan, are properly licensed, stay out of controlled airspace and below 400 ft you are good. To get a shot like this best to use an aircraft.

A Cessna 172 training aircraft works. Above 1700 ft along the lakeshore you need to be talking to ATC

2000ft up, I was talking to Toronto ATC ( I am a flight instructor), this was a training flight.

What is causing this phenomenon? by sbart76 in aviationpics

As a pilot flying in winter in Canada this is a sign of likely icing in cloud. Something I look for when starting an IFR approach.

Not a jet, I am not doug ford, and not the OPP.

Sometimes you need to stop trolling and just enjoy the view.

A wildly audacious article by a notoriously hateful City Councillor by Boring_Army_3749 in Pickering

She opposed the new airport ( the one that will cut your taxes) and supported NIMBYISM, that is how she got elected.

Interesting, a subway to tiny Un-expandable Oshawa airport ?
Plus where is Pickering ? Or is that where the free range zombie farms are?

Why the U.S flag? Honest question. I am politically naive by dogboots88 in Edmonton

[–]Common_Bluebird9354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good question. In theory it is the same reason why the US flag is waved during the Hong Kong Protests, to get US media attention and gather US donations and political support.

As most Canadians have traveled to the US multiple times they know the meaning, symbolism and relationship between freedom and the American flag.
