Thanks for this. Working on my CPL right now and it's great to watch this kind of content.

Welcome to the World's Largest Freshwater Island! My farm is adjacent to the airport and I can just barely see it.

Good on you for doing this practice. So valuable.

A landing of Master Pilot!!!

Awesome vid!

It does happen..

Bro, how long did you keep your nose up for? lmao

Great job!

Greased it!

Beautiful

buttery smooth first landing. amazing job

Congrats

It that an alarm going off? That was better than my first solo landing

What's the cost of a ultralight hourly rate? This looks amazing. I would love to rent one and do a city tour.

Noob question / does your ultralight have autopilot or do you rely on trim and power management to maintain flight?

It’s going to cost me a lot but it’s time to mandate ads-b in Canada. I don’t want to spend 10k but this area is too busy to stop offering flight following especially in the summer. Also, it’s not the controllers fault TC has dropped the ball when it comes to being proactive and recruiting before they’re critically short staffed.

"Did you just say 'niner'"? (Tommy Boy)

Is there a company that will do a sightseeing Helicopter tour around there? Any idea about costs? Thanks great video

Thanks Great video, you captured all my communications for EED 😂😂

Awesome!

Annnnnnd.....I'd like a pop up IFR please.

Just for some of you that aren’t aware, Toronto Pearson currently needs 59 controllers to run efficiently and is operating with 26. The NOTAM clearly states it’s due to reduced system capacity and has been continuously issued for the last little bit. a lot of these controllers that are monitoring the VFR FF freq that many of you use (133.4,134.25,127.00 etc) are usually on multiple frequencies. Now some of you saying it’s hit or miss is due to the fact that if you are provided flight following that is because that current controller has decided to accommodate you in his/her workload. Hope this helps, Z.

I flew heavy’s to major centres of the world . Never heard of a ATC refusing to keep aircraft safe . FF , in not a tremendous amount of work. Give them a vector way outside the busy terminal areas and you done . ONLY IN CANADA !

I fly through Toronto terminal airspace a couple times a week - in these clips we're not really getting to hear all of the traffic that's usually present on frequency. It is busy airspace with 14 airports including Pearson which is arguably the busiest in Canada. Even when traffic is at it's lightest, I routinely hear denial of flight following / entry into the zone to aircraft that have registrations that start with C-I(XXX). They just don't want to deal with 'I' registered aircraft, except on the VFR traffic routes.

I’ve been denied flight following in mtl for years

Out here in LA, ATC really makes it a priority to give ff unless they are completely short staffed. Their reasoning is that vfr traffic can really mess with jet traffic even if they are in E airspace

Ohhh Canadaa.. land of no flight following and no FIS-B weather.

Bro I’m sorry but Canadian airspace is so wack. I’ve been flying for almost 3 years and have never been denied VFRFF in all 50 US states

Try to get flight following in Australia, gets denied due to all of 3 aircraft in class C

Its called ATC shortage folks.. welcome to the new normal

I had that happen in Orlando. I needed to skirt their (MCO) class B into ISM due to fuel. They did not just deny me, they screamed at me!

Flight Following is always “work load permitting”. When requesting FF, I always say, “If available”. Never had it refused.

Why is the mic so baaaad

The transcript is hilarious; classy airspace 😂

Do you guys think this is the result of privatized ATC? I am kind of thinking it is. And this is what they want in the US, even though it is a fix in search of a problem.

What camera do you use ?

😳😳😳

As an ATC at MIA TRACON, I can say none of those ATC sounded busy lol . But if it was NOTAMd for volume I get it, but how much volume did they have? Miami Has sport evens, boat shows, art shows, that bring in hundreds of private jets and dozens of helicopters and VfR planes and the only recent NOTAM we put out is no practice approaches! We still give flight following left and right and even that is a lot lol, but we do it.

Agree or disagree, flight following is a luxury extended to VFR traffic provided workload w/ ATC allows it. Asking in the vicinity of Class C airspace (reserved for high traffic volume airports) isnt doing you any favors either. Fly your VFR altitude, and put those see-and-avoid skills to work! If you want guaranteed radar services, might be time to get the ol' instrument rating....happy flying!

Wow what a pain in the Ass come south my friend

vfr should only be allowed in remote areas.....like west texas. Its very irritating to be on approach somewhere and have 5 vrf planes and none of them know where they are, trying to land.

Same situation in montreal. It’s on NOTAM. Lack of people…

When the ATC takes 5 sentances worth of subtitles to explain they are unable to take the aircraft and then ends in "alright"

This year, it is happen often. I think only 20% got flight following in Toronto center, and i cannot got Toronto city tour clearance in recently 2 months .

Same thing happened to me when flying from Buttonville to Brantford. I filed a form with COPA to inform them of the denial off service.

Unable because they're so busy yet use 19 sentences to tell him he's Unable.

More off Canada falling apart at the seams... Moy the country burn and be passed onto the USA!

That controller ends all his sentences in questions.

Does this happen often? I wonder if this is an effect of Canada's privatized ATC system.

What aircraft is this?
