Amateur radio course starting late March
If you fly with a radio, use the amateur radio frequencies (and 146.415 MHz falls within this), and are looking to "become legal", the Surrey Amateur Radio Club is offering an online basic radio course, starting March 29, 2021. Normally these courses are in-person, but due to Covid-19, you...

2018 Chelan Halloween Fly-in coming up!
Posting this on behalf of Patricia Hopper (WA USA pilot). Pretty much your last chance to get some late-season flying on the dry side of the mountains before the snow hits! If the weather is wet in Vancouver, Chelan is often still dry and flyable. Plus there's usually a good party and food at the Ch...

Fires in Fraser Valley
Heads-up that there are new 2 fires burning in the Eastern Fraser Valley: https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=ef6f11c8c36b42c29e103f65dbcd7538 While they are probably not going to affect local flying at Woodside, Bridal is technically affected by the (still-small) ...

Re: Wing demos available at Grouse
I would recommend AGAINST demo-ing a wing at Grouse, simply because the site is demanding enough that it's probably not the best place to be trying an unknown glider, especially if you are also new to the site (as many of you will be this weekend). The launch and LZ are quite technical and an unfami...

Re: EXCLUSIVE Grouse Mt. Fly-In (Next Weekend Aug 12th)
I just want to chime in here to emphasize a few things: You need to RSVP ahead of time, before August 5. No just showing up on August 12 and hoping to fly. The reason for this is that Grouse Mountain is a PRIVATELY-OWNED flying site so we have to go by Grouse Resorts' (and their lawyers') rules...th...

Re: Training hill locations for kiting/small flights
If you are in the Lower Mainland area, you can check out Burnaby Mountain. Park at the Horizons Restaurant parking lot (do a Google search for directions) and walk to the top of the slope where the gravel trail cuts across. You can either forward or reverse, either way will be great practice for low...

Many local pilots now use XC Find in order to be tracked while flying, a safety feature as well as great entertainment for those following along on their computers at home/work. You can find XC Find at http://xcfind.paraglide.us/ and the "Canada" group is mid-way down the list. Click on th...
