If the contracted flying schools are the same as last year you're more likely to end up in Steinbach or St. Andrew's. It's because of the need for male/female supervisory officers so they send all the female cadets (and a few males) to one place and males to the others. Usually Penhold is for all the females and some of the males because its easier for supervision that way. So, if you look at it from a standpoint of the number of male positions, most of them are at St. Andrew's & Steinbach with Harv's Air Service. (If its the same as last year. In 2007 the Regina Flying Club got the contract instead of Sky Wings in Penhold and all the females+ "extra" males were sent to Steinbach.)

Anyway, good luck with the selection exam/boards Ben, I'm sure you'll do fine.

[j-18]

So what did everyone think of the entrance exam? who wrote it and who's for sure applying for power?! next step: interview boards!:airsalute:

Cadets from Eastern Region write PPS and GPS exams on 7 Feb 09. Those who pass the exam stay for interviews in the afternoon. Cadets applying for IACE, SLC, Oshkoch do their interviews in the morning.

[2Lt Ferreira]

Well... Power 2k9 is a no go for me... Three cadets from 22RCACS went to the exam and all of us well didn't do so well. I have applied for staff instead at RGS(Pac), Albert Head, and well Cold Lake... can always hope.

[Warchol]

i did really well on the exam, got myself 90%. Now all i have to do now is snipe boards and i should be there :)

[j-18]

[Oke A]

Ardila ... why arn't you a WOI by now. Apparently my guys did ok for their interviews.

Hope you get power, and I hope you get NFA if they have the contract this year.

[j-18]

WOI? yeah sqn politics...:rolleyes: as for power, NFA is my 1st choice, WWFC is 2nd, DFC 3rd and Maylan...well who knows what's going on with them. So let's hope and see where the big guys send me. Thanks Adam~:airsalute:

FTGU/AIM/POH are about all you need for a PPL.

[Warchol]

I did my boards on saturday and they went really well. it seems like im the only prairie guy on this thread lol.

[cadet_kelly]

Exam was good, interview was good (they asked me EVERYTHING), and nowwww I'm just waiting...

Amen! "you were always on my mind!" CRGS 2K8 is where it's at! but of course we will carry it on to POWER wings parade on Aug 15 2009!
(no rain this time lol). Let me know if you get power Marissa! CANNOT WAIT!

[j-18]

Any word of when the power list is distributed? i'm VERY anxious to know! :) and as for the power centre itself; do they tell you where you're going when you find out? or is that at a latter date? and if anyone gets acceptance, POST 'EM UP! :airsalute:

~T.P~

[Oke A]

Patience Young Grasshopper-Eater ... Patience....

Late March to Mid April-ish. You will likely get a letter of acceptance and instructions from CRGS before your CO finds out. Just seems to always work like that.

[Oke A]

I've been informed that both Cadet's and CO's are informed of selections on the same date. It is not the fault of RGS if a cadet finds out before a CO.

Roger. Patience IS a virtue after all...so power centres are known at the same time acceptances are told right?

~T.P~

[Da-manta-ray]

man it's been a while since I've been on this site...

o.o I applied for power in prairie region ^^ did my boards and stuff... now I just have to wait.

[Abdi1129]

~T.P~

actually, not to the cadet or the CO. You find out which one you will be sent out to when you get an email from the center's CFI, once you get your joining instructions, or your travel orders. it all varies in every region. I found out from the CFI.

[Villanueva_820]

Two cadets from my sqn. found out they got accepted today. So good luck to them and all of you!

[Abdi1129]

are you sure they found out, or they found out they made it onto the merit list? because it d=sounds a little too early too find out if they got accepted.

[DA Wright]

I've been informed that both Cadet's and CO's are informed of selections on the same date. It is not the fault of RGS if a cadet finds out before a CO. In Central Region, Glider and Power selections were announced by e-mail at midnight on 13/14 Mar 09. Emails are sent simultaneously from RCSU to the COs' CadetNet accounts, and by the League (OPC) to the Sqn Director and Sponsor Chair. These individuals are supposed to decide upon a mutually aggreeable time to jointly announce the results to the cadet(s). The CO should always know well in advance of the cadet, except perhaps in the event of a substitution that occurs late Jun/early July. PPS FTU locations won't be decided until later, when flightsuit size and weight info comes in from selected cadets and aircraft assignment can be made. This year, the centres include Brampton, Durham (Oshawa), Toronto City Centre (Island), Waterloo (NFA) and Windsor.

Thank you VERY much sir for the updated info. It seems as though the power quota has risen due to the increase in flight schools. Would you happen to know which of these flight centres are co-ed?

Thank You Sir.

~T.P~

[Omanique]

Hey Ardila, long time no see.

I'm going to go out on a B-Flight limb and say that Durham will be the co-ed centre, but I'm really not that sure.

You know you can't trust us B-Flight kids, hah.

See you at power! Or at least Grad, if I make it that far!

Hey Dude!

Yeah long time eh? I think the only 2 co-ed centres are Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre and National Flyers Academy BUT Toronto City Centre JUST opened for cadets this summer (and i SO would want that) so I don't know if new centres are co-ed or not. Yeah for sure i'll see you at CRGS Grad! :airsalute: SICK!!!

[Jessica Lynn]

I seem to have joined the discussion a bit late...Oh well.

Fingers crossed for Pacific Region! If not, you'll probably see me moping around at Glider staff again.

[j-18]

The good news finally came to me; I GOT POWER!!! so i'll see you all very soon!!! hopepfully the power centre list comes out sooN!!!x=

~T.P~:airsalute:

[Warchol]

I hope that ill be there too, i feel abit of an outsider because im from prairie and you all seem to be from central lol

[Jessica Lynn]

Warchol, is it driving you as insane as me that Central knew almost a month ago and the west is still waiting?

[j-18]

Warchol, is it driving you as insane as me that Central knew almost a month ago and the west is still waiting?

don't worry, i feel your pain as well. All sqns in central found out about 4 weeks ago but my sqn was missing some paperwork...i ended up knowing maybe 3 days ago so I know what hat feels like. Just wait and the good news will come! POWER!!!:airsalute:

~T.P~
Three days ago is still better than prairie region. I didn't find out till the last week in April last year and i still don't know if i got fam staff this year.

[j-18]

I found an awesome document releasing the 2009 flight centres for central region. They are Brampton Flying Club, Durham Flight Centre, Island Air Flight School, National Flyers Academy, and Windsor Flying Club. Post your centre as soon as you find out!!! i CAN'T WAIT!!!:airsalute:

~T.P~

[j-18]

My CO notified me; i'm going to Durham Flight Centre in Oshawa! Anyone else know where they're going!?! :airsalute:

~T.P~

[Omanique]

I have no idea where I'm going. I'll probably be stuck somewhere with nobody I know :( Eh, I'm sure at least someone from ITAC or Glider will be with me.

If not, more friends!

[mr_sun]

Wow, I haven't been here in a while.

Anyways, found out I got power a couple weeks ago, and just found out I was going to the Brampton Flight Centre a couple days ago.

I'm going with a couple people I know so far, and for those who are going to the BFC, can't wait to meet you!

[CDNcoyote]

so, George, were almost blood related and you dont tell me that your going to BFC? I'm hurt, lol. thats like me telling not telling you i was going to CRGS for glider, even though you should know. Ill stop ranting now. I'm gunna call you :D

[cadet_kelly]

I'm headed to National Flyers.... anyone else for NFA?

[Jessica Lynn]

Accepted!

[Shaw cable]

HA! told you that you would get it:)

[Abdi1129]

Accepted!

you see, you just needed time and patience...

[Da-manta-ray]

Just found out that I'm going on power! I'll most likely be in Penhold, because I'm in prairie region, and female.

[B_Clark]

I don't think Skywings got the contract this summer. Last I heard the locations for Power in Prairie this summer are the Regina Flying Club, Harv's Air (Steinbach) and Harv's Air (St. Andrew's).
Congrats on power though! :airsalute:

If im not mistaken they as well as skywings got the contract. I think the plan is to only send females to penhold and the other three will be males

[B_Clark]

That could be possible to, I'm not entirely sure. I just remember talking to the president of the MB League who was saying that Harv's and Regina got the contracts. Maybe they added another location this year.

[Omanique]

Sounds like I'm going to Toronto City Centre. Get to see the beautiful CN Tower and smog every day!

[Spooky]

You guys are going to have SO much fun! Power is a LOT of work but its a total blast.

What are the centers for this year? I'm seeing NFA still on from previous post, but is Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre scratched? (Thats where I was last summer)

[Omanique]

London was scrapped.

[Spooky]

London was scrapped.

London was too?
I'm wondering about the Kitchener/Waterloo?

[j-18]

2009 flight centres for central region. They are Brampton Flying Club, Durham Flight Centre, Island Air Flight School, National Flyers Academy, and Windsor Flying Club. enjoy!!!

~T.P~

[Omanique]

Holy many people are to be at each centre? According to my little acceptance sheet, only 12 got into Toronto. They must be making it a small group due to it being new?

[Somedude]

It depends very much on the track record of the centre, the better the SSO rates the centre chances are there will be more cadets going there, it also depends on the ability of the centre to train you, more A/C and more instructors means more cadets it can push through. we had 24 at DFC last year.:airsalute:

[j-18]

this year we have 25 cdts for DFC.:airsalute:

~T.P~

[Omanique]

Twelve cadets at TCC.

[mr_sun]

14 Cadets at BFC.

[thepriceisright]

one of the cadets in my squadron is going to Power this summer

[mandyl]

my sister's going : D

[Nizzar]

Well, here is the list for Manitoba. Lots from Glider 2k8
<List of names>

[westwood]

Sorry, still learning

[B_Clark]

It's alright Troy I wouldn't really worry about it too much, that list is already published online on the MB ACL site anyway.
Excited for power yet?

[westwood]

Of course I am excited, WO Clark. I went up for power fam on Sunday and my officer let me have the controls for everything but most of the circuit!! Trim in XBO was a little nose heavy for what I'm accustomed to and I had trouble finding traffic, but it was a good flight

[westwood]

I got Harv's Air in St. Andrew's!! :woot::woot:

[westwood]

Where did everyone go? Am I just too lazy, or are you having too much fun to talk?

[cadet_kelly]

Holy crap, 2 1/2 weeks left.

All is quiet on the CW front...

[J-P Johnson]

Holy crap, 2 1/2 weeks left.

All is quiet on the CW front...

Is the lousy weather we've been having posed any issues as far as getting flights done?

Anyone know how CRGS is making out?

[Somedude]

At current both flights are slightly (and by slightly I mean less than a half day) behind due to weather. Nothing extra special

[westwood]

St. Andrews has had bad weather for a while (probably proximity to Gimli jinxing us :rolleyes:) but we are getting along, if a little slow at times. TC tomorrow, so at least a little extra time for studying. Our fourth Supervisory Officer (if you count Major Cameron's day here) is Army CIC, but he's all right. Our usual S.O. is in hospital right now, likely for at least a week.

[Insane Power Pilot]

Capt. Delmage, our usual officer, is in hospital right now, likely for at least a week.

Yikes! What happened?

[westwood]

Our Supervisory Officer in St. Andrew's is now back to work, as are we after a few days of poor weather. Most of our X-country flights are done and a few of us are doing our pre-flight test checks. We are progressing fairly well so far, much better than RGS(Pra) in Gimli from what I hear. All of us did pretty well on our exams, so it's going along pretty well here.

[Omanique]

Toronto City Centre hasn't had much bad weather. We've got all but 3 cadets done (and have 8 of the 12 left).

We should have all of us done by late Monday or Tuesday!:p

[mr_sun]

Oh wow, Power 2K9

Without a doubt, the best course I've ever done in my cadet career.

Thanks for the ride, guys :D

[j-18]

DFC 2K9; THE BOMB!!! POWER ALL THE WAY~:airsalute::airsalute::airsalute:

Its good to see you all had fun :)

I am really excited for this years Power scholarships, but i missed my chance for gliders so im going into power directly, any advice? Things that are a must know? haha.

Thanks in advance =)
