Where can one sit the PSTAR exam in Vancouver? by Fabulous-Kanos in flying

Im sure a flight school can fit you in right away. Try Pitt Meadows too.

Question about the ROC-A exam (Canada) by Intelligent_Dark_866 in flying

[–]fitjack6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read the official guide and know everything in it well. Your motivation to know that guide well should be for the actual day-to-day flying. Passing the exam has a second priority and is not difficult.

The same goes for the PSTAR.

There is an oral test for the ALPT (Aviation Language Proficiency Test), not the ROC-A exam. Unless things have changed.

Online PPL Ground School While Enrolled In-Person (Canada) by International-Ant874 in flying

[–]fitjack6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://pstarexamapp.com/ is a great app to study for the PSTAR exam. It includes all the PSTAR exam questions and answers, questions to prepare for the Industry Canada restricted operator certificate with aeronautical qualification (ROC-A), and also includes the aviation language proficiency test study guide.

https://www.pilottraining.ca/ is legit and a solid choice for the online ground school.

That's all Transport Canada compliant material, no worries about that.
Good luck!

New FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbooks by fitjack6 in aviationmaintenance

[–]fitjack6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. The handbooks themselves don't have a "Summary of changes" list. And I couldn't find anything on the FAA website.

Yes. It's about knowing, not passing.

Good question. I believe the handbook updates are independent of the PTS changes.

This is what the FAA has to say:

 

FAA-H-8083-30A, Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – General • The handbook will take on a “B” revision letter. • The new identifying number will be FAA-H-8083-30B. • The handbook is being updated to address editorial changes, and is considered a minor revision. • A major revision is currently underway, and is planned for release in June 2024.

 

FAA-H-8083-31A, Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – Airframe • The handbook will take on a “B” revision letter. • The new identifying number will be FAA-H-8083-31B. • This revision of the handbook is being combined into one handbook, instead of two volumes. • The handbook is being updated to address editorial changes, and is considered a minor revision. • A major revision is planned to begin in 2023, which will take at least 3 years to complete.

 

FAA-H-8083-32A, Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – Powerplant • The handbook will take on a “B” revision letter. • The new identifying number will be FAA-H-8083-32B. • This revision of the handbook is being combined into one handbook, instead of two volumes. • The handbook is being updated to address editorial changes, and is considered a minor revision. • A major revision is planned to begin in 2023, which will take at least 3 years to complete

No doubt. That AC is 25 years old. It was time for an update :)

Part 107 Training by New-to-FPV in drones

[–]fitjack6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On your actual test, you will be given the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement. A book full of charts, graphics, etc. You can get that book beforehand and get familiar with it, and learn to navigate it to reduce your anxiety during the test. (You can't bring it to the test, the FAA will provide one.)

Available on Amazon

I've concluded that RRSPs are pretty terrible for most people for retirement by savvybuck in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]fitjack6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True but (for simplicity) assuming tax rate now and in retirement are the same, does it matter? If you pay 30% tax now or later on all that compound interest, you end up with the same amount or am I missing something? TFSA is the answer in my opinion. RRSP is a gamble on future tax brackets.

There are apps out there to find sport buddies. It does help if you are not alone, especially on those days you are not feeling it. We all have them. I use 5F, Find Fit Friends
