I’m an experienced flight instructor in Toronto and I will teach you how to fly.

I think there should exist a permit that tests (and therefore for which we teach) in the following categories (read more at link):

Having a Canadian pilot license does not give you the right to work as a pilot in Canada, or help you to get the right to work in Canada.

Here’s a checklist I wrote about the skills I want to see before authorizing a first solo flight by a student.

I might be guessing wrong but perhaps budding pilots imagine that watching the numbers and needles on the control panel is the more professional way to fly.

One of the fun parts of teaching the basics of aircraft control – I think of it as the alphabet of flying – is when a familiar idea pops up in an unexpected place.

If you’re an owner, an operator, or if you’re planning on taking a flight test any time soon you’ll want to read this.

If you’re reading this because you asked about buying a flying lesson for someone you love, this is my opportunity to let you down as gently and kindly as I can. Here are my reasons.

If a pilot calls when they’re already turning onto the base leg it’s rather awkward for them then to be asked to extend the downwind.

Getting your first pilot license? A typical licensing journey for a student might look like this...

Please, for the love of all that’s holy – as the wheels touch continue to keep the nose straight with the rudder, and increase aileron deflection into the wind

This post is a bunch of philosophical points about how to fly better. I hope you enjoy them.

Why does primary flight training sometimes take longer than it should?

With a bit of thought, I’ve put together some common traits I see in the students who make quicker progress.

Suppose a pilot has a Commercial Pilot Licence. And their boss asks them to conduct a ferry flight. Small plane – only one pilot needed. A Cessna 172, let’s say. So they look up their CPL privileges in the regulations...

ONE of the challenges for new students is to get to grips with radio communications.

An introductory flying lesson won’t inform you to even the tiniest extent about whether you’ll enjoy or be suited to a career as a high-flying jet pilot.

Those of you who have been having lessons with Ivan and me know that we record all our flights on video, including the airplane intercom and radio communications.
