Hi 273,

Thank you for the information.

I've done the FAA to Commercial / Instrument standards but JAA to PPL/IMC/Night only.

I'll be ordering both "Canadian Air force Weather Command" and .
"From The Ground Up" in due course... thanks for the suggestions.

The "AeroCourse: Instrument" sounds ideal to getting to know the Canadian way of things... I'll look into this (and will report back if they do a Commercial test version).

Ah I've got the Jepp book for the Multi already so hopefully that'll surfice. Looking at the Transport Canada website it looks as though I won't need to do a Multi Engine test though as my FAA multi will have been issued within the previous 12 months.

The commercial flight test is not too bad, similiar to the USA but less ground and performance manouvers.

So it is more like the JAA CPL Skills Test? Do they put emphasis on Navigation instead of Manouvers?

Hopefully I won't have too much of a problem with the Canadian Instrument Rating test!!!

This is looking more likely to be going ahead next year now... do you have any suggestions for flight schools in the Victoria area? (I've never been to Canada).

I've sent you a pm as well.

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.
