I heard the same with honeywell's Factory LTS-101 course.

 

TC won't approve a course unless it has a Final Test at the end that covers everything taught in the course.

To be honest with you, if you actually read cars there's a clause that affects what you are asking.. cannot recall right now but believe its 573..... something about commercial or transport aircraft ie rotorcraft which means your amo can give you a test on LTS 101 and your good to sign off a SD, FX2 as long as you have the as350 type could some some one give me more info on this as its always va

gue when interpetted by one

What is the typical cost and # of days for an AS350 course?

If you go to NLC and stay in the dorms, budget 6k for the three week stay and course. You should be fine with that unless you are a heavy drinker.

i went to NLC a few years ago the class i was in was 17 to start, i have been talking with one of the guys that are up there right now and his class was 13 to start. i'm not why the drop in inrolement but it seems to be going down at all the schools.

 

as for me i'm about two months from writing my CARs (kinda worried about that) and then i just heard that i am going to be in the spring astar/engine's courses at NLC.

 

now as for the program at NLC well it was tough i found but i learnd a lot. for the 3 semesters that we were at school they were expanding/upgrading the hanger and class rooms so that sucked. i have not gone to any of the other schools so i can't compare that way but what i have found is that NLC is a good school if you want to get into small fixed wing or helicopters. of what i have seen and heard bcit seems to be teaching more toward the westjet and canadian.

Is there anything closer to my home of Ontario? BC is a long distance.

Montreal, ECL factory course, run by Mark Lejoie. (Hope I spelt it right) http://www.eurocopter.ca/asp/sTrainMaint.asp

Good course, he really knows his stuff. Plus Montreal is a pretty good spot to be stuck for three weeks!

ECL isn't offering any courses right now out of Montreal. I think it's in the process of being moved to Ft Erie.

none if your employer has faith in you... if they want you to sign off there a/c let them absorb the costs and whatever you do dont sign a contract
