Imagine taking a friend sightseeing or just enjoy the freedom of flying on a
gloriously sunny day. We know much fun it is to fly and we want to make your
flight training one of the most enjoyable experiences of your lifetime. Our
instructors are picked for their pleasant personality as much as they are
for their professional skills.
A simple
medical sign off from your family physician is all that is required and
although ground school is not required, we strongly recommend that you
attend classes to ensure that you breeze through the exam.
The Flight
Program
Transport
Canada requires 15 hours of dual instruction, including 2 hours of
cross-country. The solo minimum is 5 hours. The flight component includes
all upper air work, take-offs and landings, cross-country navigation trips
and a pre-flight test.
In order to
reach the minimum 25-hour requirement our breakdown of training time is as
follows:
-
15 hours of dual instruction (with an
instructor). The rate for dual instruction is $164.00/hr. This includes
the aircraft rental ($111.00/hr.) insurance and fuel surcharges
($9.00/hr.), and the instructor fee ($44.00/hr.).
-
10 hours solo practice. The rental rate for
solo flying is $120.00 /hr. (based on the above rates less the instructor
charges).
The books
and navigational equipment required for your training are offered in one
comprehensive kit. Cost of this kit is $235.00.
Ground
school will provide you with the opportunity gain valuable knowledge on all
of the aviation subjects, which you will be tested on. It will also provide
you the opportunity to interact with fellow students and share your
experiences. Although ground school is not required, it is highly
recommended. The cost, $250.00, is included in the above price. Topics
covered in the ground school include:
Canadian
Aviation Regulations, Aerodynamics & Theory of Flight, Meteorology,
Airframes, Engines and Systems, Flight Instruments, Radio and Electronic
Theory, Navigation, Flight Operations, Licensing Requirements and Human
Factors (including pilot decision making)
We would
like to stress that the total price is based upon the minimum requirements
set forth by Transport Canada. Actual flight times (and therefore costs)
may be higher than stated based on the student's ability and aptitude.
P.S.T. and/or G.S.T. are extra. Prices are subject to change without notice.
Additional
requirements and costs are as follows:
-
A medical
examination, - this fee will vary from doctor to doctor.
-
There is
a written examination fee of $105.00 and a flight test fee of $200.00.
Both fees are paid to Transport Canada or a designated examiner. There is
a Transport Canada licensing fee of $55.00
-
We offer

of this flight is only $50.00. The flight is approximately 30 minutes,
during which time an instructor gives you an airborne tour of the area and
lets you handle the controls. This will give you a great feel for what
flying is all about. Set up your familiarization flight today to get
started on the fantastic experience of flight!
