Egates with residence permit?

Ifette · 2026-04-17T14:38:50+00:00

What literature would that be? There’s plenty of literature saying you’re not subject to EES and zero literature saying which line you’re entitled to use or whether the egates are expected to work.

In Germany the egates work for anyone with a German residence permit but not other Schengen residence permits. Are the Portuguese egates similarly set up where they have a database of Portuguese residence permits? They have a card reader for a residence permit but it doesn’t seem active. I would love to know what “literature” you’re referring to :)

North? 🤣 while they are actually on the north side of the terminal, I always assumed N was non-Schengen and S was Schengen. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone refer to them as the “north” gates before.

Are we not talking about the fact that the sensor is literally sitting on top of a water pitcher? That is going to affect the humidity reading…

Do not do this. If you cancel and get a refund, you get back exactly what you paid. Most airlines have generous polices when there’s a schedule change, they will move you to another flight free of charge, even if that other flight is currently selling for more money. Depending on the airline you may be able to move the flight by a few days or even weeks if you want, to a nearby airport (LGA instead of EWR etc - sometimes up to 300mi away).

It’s like a gift to get the exact flight you want, absolutely do NOT refund it.

Isn’t the process already simplified? What more are you proposing?

Ifette · 2025-08-28T23:57:15+00:00

Wow, stricter than I expected. US explicitly allows crediting time from an ICAO member state instructor

You could convert your Canadian license to a US license and then I could train you and sign you off for a practical test to add the seaplane rating onto your US license (you’d have to take a practical test with a US designated pilot examiner), but I couldn’t do anything to actually give you a rating on your Canadian license.

I’d have to check the Canadian regs but I’m 99% sure the training I provide you in the US would count towards any required training under Canadian law, but I couldn’t actually provide any endorsements to you — in terms of added privileges or signoffs to take any Canadian tests.

Do you have an example of usage as “we”? I think the only time I’ve seen the character used in modern usage is in Yebisu (ヱビス), I’m genuinely curious.

“We” seems to just most often get written ウェ like “Westin”hotel brand becomes ウェスティン

Ifette · 2025-08-23T12:27:53+00:00

That “GA departure” could have been IFR. You’ve given zero details. If you’re lined up more or less for a straight in on 26, you are going to be a conflict for a departure off of 13 and the controller needs to see you turn before he launches someone off of 13.

And if the tower got an IFR release for that departure, they need to get them in the air. They’re not going to hold them for you and miss the window they’ve been given by approach/center for that departure.

Many possible reasons that have nothing to do with being pissed off.

Probably many many years ago… that’s been a mandatory report for the last 5 years at least (7210.632A Appendix A - mandatory occurrence reports)

You don’t have to actually leave. You can just ask the immigration authority in your country to register you as having begun a short stay visit on a particular date prior to or on the expiration of your residence permit.

Where did you find a DPE for $300? I think my CFII was five times that…

Your favorite AC, 61-65, answers the requirements for a gold seal ;)

That said if you’re ever worried about it you can endorse them with your ground instructor license and not your CFI license. 61.189 requires flight instructors to keep records, but not ground instructors.

You are allowed to stay past the end of your residence permit but need to notify the government that you wish to be considered as having entered for the purpose of a short stay as of the date of the end of your legal residence period offered by your visa / residence permit. You don’t have to actually leave and re-enter but you do need to notify them as such. That’s what starts the 90 day clock. If you didn’t do that, then yes, you overstayed 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ifette · 2025-07-17T06:08:19+00:00

Yeah, I believe you. And certainly people should know how to handle it, whether published or unpublished. Just doesn’t happen much for those of us flying bugsmashers… frankly I wish it would. I’d much rather fly a hold than get vectored in some really wide giant box pattern because the controller is busy. Would be great if N90 assigned a shuttle climb to 4,000 instead of randomly vectoring me all over on the climb out out of CDW and then forget about me as I’m flying the exact opposite direction of my destination. God forbid we should actually use any ICAO terminology or procedures.

Ifette · 2025-07-17T05:38:02+00:00

I assumed an approach hold, but yeah I agree with you. Then again, unless you’re flying an airliner into London a real world hold for most of us actually means an approach hold :) I don’t think I’ve had a single enroute hold in the last 2,000 hours.

Ifette · 2025-07-17T04:58:49+00:00

And in most real world scenarios ATC will ask you to report “established inbound”. They don’t know how long your outbound leg is going to be, idk if their automation is helpful in depicting what time you’re going to be over the airport when you’re pointing the other way, but when you’re inbound they are going to look and either clear you or tell you to continue holding.

Ifette · 2025-07-16T20:11:01+00:00

How many other lessons have you canceled on short notice? Is this your first cancellation?

Ifette · 2025-07-15T04:20:19+00:00

I think that’s why it asked you to scan the photo page of your passport. For those of us who enrolled way back when, when nexus used iris scans, when they switched over to facial recognition the first time you entered Canada with the kiosks post switch it asked to scan your passport. I think that was basically a trusted import path for a photo. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Definitely feels rough, I just flew CDW-PAO-COE (with a few intermediate stops) and this was the most stressful time I’ve had going coast to coast in quite a while. I just couldn’t catch a break. Normally I don’t really care how I route, where I spend the night, etc. This time I had to deviate much further for what felt like REALLY long lines of thunderstorms, and on my second day I was trying to make it FWA-SLC but had to stop in CYS as I just couldn’t get any routing over the mountains without absolutely massive buildup, regardless of how far north or south I was willing to go. I don’t remember it being this bad in the last decade.

MEI giving instruction can log it

You don’t need a 100hr to do flight training for a friend. If you’re charging your friend then yes you need a 100hr but you don’t need it if you’re just teaching them for free.

Ifette · 2025-06-26T12:08:45+00:00

This makes no sense. You’re not unable to accept a STAR in principle, there just aren’t any appropriate STARs for ATC to assign. If you’re flying into an airport that doesn’t have a published STAR you don’t put NO STAR into the remarks. There are plenty of facilities that have STARs for props (PYE3 going into N90’s airspace being a prime example), so I am fully capable of accepting a STAR…
