What rates are you negotiating this season?
donnybrook replied to 5-per's topic in General Helicopter Operations
So about $565 a day and $137 an hour? -
Have been meaning to post this question for a while. In your experience is the overall money better in intermediates or mediums? I have been flying mediums for the last few years but miss the AStar. I was always of the opinion that you could make more flying intermediates due to the greater number of hours flown and variety of jobs available.

Setting yourself up as a company
donnybrook replied to Bladestrike's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Any tips? Did you use snap incorporations? I'm thinking of doing the same for next season, but a friend of mine with more business savvy told me it wasn't really worth incorporating unless you are mid to high 6 figures. -
Write it up using Word, then copy and paste

The iPad mini with Foreflight works great for ferry flights, crappy weather, holding current CFS, canadian and US charts, etc. However I found it was not as user friendly (unwieldy?) when working in a smaller area with multiple drop points, drill job and moving geos for example. If you are working only in canada and don't mind paper charts I would say get the 296. Of course, an iPad mini is also smaller and lighter than a CFS and a bag full of maps for western Canada....

You can get the bad elf, or other brand external gps as well. Picks up satellites quickly and I've never experiences a loss of reception even when the air craft's gps lost signal. Only downfall is that it is another device to keep charged...

Have any of you AMEs out there done a trade equivalency assessment (or some form of challenge) to apply your aircraft maintenance experience towards another trade? I'm thinking stationary or power engineer, heavy equipment, or millwright.... Any tips would be appreciated!

Resurgence Of Entry Level Flying Jobs

One difference I see is that I will not fly around in a twin for FREE just to get experience.... -
Flight Time Vs. Air Time Personal Logbook
donnybrook replied to OGEgirl's topic in General Helicopter Operations
The policy letter was cancelled in 2011, I believe? If a person was logging only air time in their personal logbook, for the period the letter was in effect, they willingly shot themselves in the foot, ICAO or not. -
What a crass way to place a question, especially since you did not know the outcome. I'm surprised you didn't use emoticons.
