I'm in Montreal, the home of ice hockey, smoked meat sandwiches, and the International Civial Aviation Organization (ICAO), the United Nations body that regulates aviation worldwide.
I'm at a conference on the economics of airports and air navigation services, and I've particularly noticed the synergies between the desire to reduce costs, and the environmental benefits that flow from that.
My boss - CANSO Secretary General Alexander ter Kuile - gave a speech which reminded international states of their power to reduce the fragmentation and improve the performance of Air Traffic Management (ATM). He concluded by reminding the nations in the room that we all want - and the world needs - better ATM in order to bring both environmental and economic benefits to everyone.

I was also struck by the ambitious expansion plans foreseen in India: they expect to triple their aviation capacity over the next 12 years. There's an emerging Indian middle class of 300 million people, and they want the same travel opportunities enjoyed by those in developed nations.
It just shows how vital the expected technological and operational improvements being implemented across the aviation industry are going to be, if we are to offer equal travel opportunities and stay within environmental limits.
San Diego Flight Training
Training to become a commercial pilot can be a very complicated, expensive,
and daunting experience. There are three certificates involved. These are
Private Pilots License, Instrument Rating, and Commercial Pilots License.
Training can be completed under either FAA Part 141 or Part 61 guidelines.
Each part has there advantages and disadvantages.
The San Diego Flight Training Commercial Pilot Program that I have
structured comprises both Part 141 and Part 61 training curriculum. Private
Pilots License and Instrument Rating are completed under Part 141 in order
to keep student pilot on structured and methodical training path.
Commercial Pilots License is completed under Part 61 in order to minimize
ground training expense.
Minimum flight hours required for CPL Part 141 is 190 hours total and CPL
part 61 is 250 hours. It is rare to see a student pilot finishing CPL Part
141 in 190 hours. Most will take 225 hours or more. Be wary of flight
schools that quote low priced CPL programs based on minimum FAA 141 ground
and flight training hour requirements.
Ground and San Diego Flight Training required to complete Licenses /Ratings
will vary by student. It is extremely rare to see students complete courses
under Part 141 minimum ground and flight hour requirements. Students who
exceed 141 minimums are often unpleasantly surprised by the additional
ground and flight hours necessary for them to finish. AFTS pilot packages
are based on average student pilot hours required to complete courses. This
avoids false advertising and unpleasant financial surprises.
The goal of American Flight Training Source is to provide each pilot
candidate with proper guidance in selecting the best school and the right
program tailored for their specific needs as a commercial pilot.
