$99 for a 30-minute discovery flight and lesson (a $200 value)

Would-be pilots are whisked through a tour of Canadian Flight Centre’s facilities and receive a ground lesson. Then, 30-minute discovery flights offer an introduction to piloting that allows students to feel what it’s like behind the controls of a Cessna or Piper airplane.

$269 for a private pilot’s starter package (a $595 total value)

  • 40 hours of private pilot ground school (a $325 value), which addresses subjects such as air law, meteorology, theory of flight, navigation, airframe engines and systems, flight options, and human factors in flying
  • Ground-school textbook (a $45 value)
  • Ground-school bag (a $25 value)
  • 30-minute discovery flight (a $200 value)
  • Four 15-student ground-school sessions are scheduled for both day and evening class times: Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., beginning May 26; Wednesdays from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., beginning May 30; Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., beginning September 8; and Mondays from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., beginning September 10.

Based at Boundary Bay Airport, Canadian Flight Centre has used its fleet of small aircraft to train more than 3,000 professional and recreational pilots since its inception in 1979. After a thorough ground-school education, potential commercial and private fliers hop into planes that include Piper PA-28s or Cessna 172s for flight training. Instructors utilize the Vancouver region’s unique proximity to coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean to teach specific mountain checkout or water-related flying and instrument skills. They outfit their instructional aircraft with all the controls, instrumentation, and capabilities necessary to imbue industry-standard proficiency, and also include in-flight video cameras. These cameras allow new pilots to collect more than one hour of raw footage that they can use to study areas for improvement and capture any mid-flight bubble-gum-blowing attempts.

Along with the support of amiable and highly seasoned flying instructors, students are able to use grants, scholarships, and other kinds of financial largesse thanks to Canadian Flight Centre’s accreditation from issuers that include the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia.
