Saratoga
Hi,
I presently own a Piper Cherokee PA-28 140, with a private pilot license. I am looking to buy a Piper Saratoga Turbo in the US and would like to train on one now so I can get current in this model and can bring it back. I am going in Rochester New York, on May 18, to get my American Pilot License. I have a night rating and I am within a coupe of hours to get my VFROTT.
I would be interested in renting a Saratoga or maybe if no Saratoga are available a Piper Six. And pay for some training on it. Do you or any of your member have a Saratoga (preferably a T-Saratoga) that I could rent or inquiry for rent and training.

re: a.k.a. KARS - A Nice Grass Strip
The web site of Rideau Valley Soaring School has moved to rvss.ca
Not for me...
Drove in this evening (7PM) for a friendly hello and to check out grass landing strip..... Manager was very gruff and overly aggressive.... not good for someone in business... too bad... I might have wanted to tie my plane(s) down there..... I wouldn't land there now in an emergency. Good luck!
re: Stolen items from luggage
You're an absolute idiot for putting those types of items in your checked baggage anyway, so you have no one to blame but yourself. Firstly - why would you even bring that type of jewellry with you in the first place ( do you really need to flash your baubles on the beach ) and secondly, if they're so precious to you - why aren't you WEARING your engagement/wedding rings??
I wouldn't even put expensive/sentimental items in my checked baggage if I was flying through Heathrow/Frankfurt/Dulles let alone a country like Cuba. If I had something precious and didn't want anything to happen to it, it wouldn't leave my side - so once again, it's your own stupid fault for leaving it in your checked baggage.
re: Wha Ti' is not a Nunavut Airport
Fixed!
Wha Ti' is not a Nunavut Airport
Wha Ti' is located in the Northwest Territories
Re: Canada Customs
The St. Lazare airport is not a designated airport of entry for the Canadian Border Services Agency. Les Cedres airport to the south is an airport of entry designated for CANPASS permit holders only. Otherwise, you will need to clear at CYUL, CYMX, CYHU or CSE4 (Lachute).
Nice airport
Nice place, nice people.
re: Home base on the island
Reply to @cvander: Would you be interested in sharing your hangar at Gore Bay airport? I'd like to bring my aircraft there occasionally in the summer but would like to keep it "inside". I haven't made the plunge yet to lease a hangar for the whole year. Please send me a note at kapling01-lancair@yahoo.com . Thanks!
Summer visitors
If only you could rent a hangar for the summer months. It seems cost inefficient to rent a hangar for the whole year and only use it for four or five months. Maybe the airport should look into some type of temporary summer hangars?
Lots of parking and fuel, great hotel
Great place to stop over night. Lots of parking near the Casino/Hotel and fuel service.

Kugluktuk (aka Coppermine pre-1996)
100 LL is available here. Time-expired but still good. Drums are sealed. About $450 per drum, full drums only. Co-Op is the dealer (867) 982-4231. Call-out charges after-hours. Bring your own pump, bung wrench and filter.
No tie-downs. 5,500 x 150 gravel.
Overnight stays not recommended if on floats due to exposed location, limited beach area and vandalism. Since you won't get an overnight hotel room during the summer anyway, fly out to a good fishing spot and camp for the night.
No camping at the airport but there is a campsite about a mile from the airport. No taxi - you'll have to bum a ride (what can I say - we're embarrassingly backward!).
Contact the local resident pilot (through the RCMP) for possible assistance.

New restriction.
Does anyone know why valleyfield airport has a new restriction on private use.
ILS / PAPI Angles
Some useless trivia... the ILS glideslope for runway 08 is 3.5 degrees (PAPI 3.9 degrees). The ILS glideslope for runway 26 is 4.8 degrees (as is the PAPI). The PAPI angle for runway 15 is 5.5 degrees, which is the same as the ILS at London City Airport (EGLC). The steepest ILS that I could find is at Lugano, Switzerland (LSZA); the ILS glideslope is 6.65 degrees.
re: Fuel Availability
As far as I know, the airbase has been closed for sometime.
Fuel Availability
Can fuel be purchased at this location?
re: My Home Base
Reply to @dazuppa: it's not hard to bring a Cherokee in on a 6+ deg glidepath - I'm guessing the ILS 26 isn't quite that steep.
Great service.
Gary McCartan is awesome. Bends over backwards to be of service to you as a pilot.
canada customs
that is a great comment, I was wondering how the customs checks are done at St. LAzare airport??
NICE!
The grass strip at Randle-Kiona Airpark is lovely. The folks who live there must be proud of their hard work at making their landing strip so nice.
re: Fast food within walking distance
Hi,
I want to read more.

re: Nice Airport, Mediocre Service
I agree with you and disagree at the same time. I agree that the terminal staff are not friendly but disagree that the flying club members are friendly. I found them not to be friendly either and arrogant.
re: Super gracious hosts at Cortes BC
I am not anonymous... that was me... Erissa from Cobalt Aviation , Pitt Meadows that flew my 182 in with Barry in his 172
re: Super gracious hosts at Cortes BC
I flew my 182 in with Barry in his 172 ... from CYPK. Without notice, Jim came out to greet me...NICER than your long lost uncle! WOW... what a place. Warm, clean, lots of space and the view to the kill of Desolation sound. THE HOSPITALITY is first class bar none!!!! Great folks laid out Dianne's fresh baking and cheese and cold cuts and tea.... and begged us to stay. AND I even left with a bottle of Jam from Diane's personal creation made from Salal berries she harvested there. Incredible place. It is now for sale!
El Jardin Ranch
Private airstrip of Oil and Gas tycoon Rod Lewis. Has been known to keep a number of warbirds here. Anita Perry, Governor Perry's wife, was uninjured in a mishap of a B-25, on which she was a passenger, here on 3/26/11.
re: hello
Vic's registered his strip so it's in CFS now as CDS2 - Length 2260'
re: My Hometown Airport
Very interesting post, as I too watched aircraft as a young child right here. It saddened me to see this airport dwindle in the 90's. I now run Appalachian Inspection and Maintenance on this airfield, along side Elkins Aviation (flight school) and Advanced Avionics. This airport is once again coming alive!
Nice Approach
The approach and departure are very nice.. There isn't much to do here while waiting for your flight however.
great little field
friendly people, super airport!
# 2 R.C.A.F. Constuction and maintanence Unit
Although I was stationed here in 1956 with the r.c.a.f. I was allways out on projects like Primrose Lake (Cold Lake) Whitehorse, Thule Greenland,Alert . I would like to hear from any one who was there during those times. Catton_darryl@hotmail.com

No,skis only in winter.

Is this plowed in winter?
signage
Flew here again a couple weeks ago. Nothing has changed really - great terminal is still deserted. What a waste of $$. Maybe they should have spent some of the cash on signage. Noticed this time - there is not ONE runway or taxi sign on the airport. Even with a map from the AOPA database in Foreflight it was confusing finding runway 5 start. Paint is worn off as well so watch out crossing runways with no signs or markings.
3D2 For the Day - Very Friendly
