Why we collection your Name, Address, Etc (and what we do with it) Rest assured -- there is no nefarious motive behind our registration form. :-)   You won't be receiving junk mail or spam. No Encyclopedia Salesman is going to appear at your door, and United Airlines isn't going to be calling to offer you a job flying 747s (sorry).   Here is what will happen with your information:   Full Name :  This is the name that will appear on your co-pilots license. When we mail that license to you (at the address you provide) this is the name that will be on the envelope. Also, Transport Canada requires that we provide your name (and weigh) on the passenger manifest.   Email Address :  This is the main way that we communicate with you: Initially you'll receive all the Class Details (when, where, how to get there, what to bring, how to dress, food details, car pooling, ..). You will also receive an email with a link to the class pre-work, a reminder a few days before class, and an email after the class with information on how to book your flight. Oh .. we also send out Happy Birthday messages via email.   Birthday :  Since many classes and activities are age dependant, it seemed prudent to have your birthday on file. Also, you'll get a happy birthday email from us every year to make sure that you don't forget us. We use to include the birth-date on the Co-Pilot license, but we don't do that any more. Age information is also shared (statistically) with sponsors. ie: "35% of our participants are between the age of 25 and 39".   Weight :  Transport Canada regulations require that a weight & balance calculation be done for every flight. This is not only a legal issue, but a critical flight-safety issue. Please enter your fully-dressed weight here. Don't enter your naked-weight unless you plan on coming on the flight naked.   Gender :  No .. we don't discriminate on the basis of gender. Having the stats (ie: "60% of our participants are women") is the kind of thing sponsors like to know.   Telephone Numbers :  For us to contact you only. We re-confirm the weather for flights this way and also organize car pools, last-minute cancellations, etc this way.   Address :  We will mail your co-pilot's license to this address (a few days after class). Also: Transport Canada (well .. actually the National Transportation Safety Board if you want to be specific) requires that we be able to 'identify' the people onboard aircraft. Your address is part of your 'identity' in this context. So please provide your own address - not the address of a friend that will receive the co-pilot license for you.   Guardian :  We only need this if you are under 18 - because your Guardian has to provide consent for you to fly. Note: We don't need a waiver, only consent.   Information Shared with Sponsors   Our sponsors want to be sure that we're not spending their money on beer.   We give them a warm-and-fuzzy feeling, without compromising your privacy, by sharing a limited amount of information with them: Your FIRST Name (not your last name or even last initial) Your Age (if that was one of the sponsor's criteria) Your Gender (again, if that was one of their criteria) The City where you live (not your address, only the city) When a class has special criteria (ie: single-moms only) then we also include a statement to that effect.   Sponsors are not permitted to contact you - and are never given your contact information. They may include a leaflet in your class materials, and sometimes put a poster up in the classroom.   Close this Window to Continue
