Training Programs

Find Your Path to the Flight Deck

Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
The Private Pilot Licence allows you to fly single-engine aircraft in Canada for personal and recreational purposes. Training covers airmanship, navigation, meteorology, and flight manoeuvres, culminating in a Transport Canada written exam and flight test.
Details →
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
The Commercial Pilot Licence qualifies you to be paid to fly aircraft in Canada. Building on PPL fundamentals, CPL training develops precision flying skills, advanced navigation, and the aeronautical knowledge required by Transport Canada for commercial operations.
Multi-Engine Rating
The Multi-Engine Rating authorizes flight in aircraft with more than one engine. Training focuses on the unique handling characteristics of multi-engine aircraft, asymmetric thrust procedures, and engine-failure emergencies critical to safe commercial operations.
Instrument Rating (IFR)
The Group 1 Instrument Rating authorizes flight in instrument meteorological conditions in both single and multi-engine aircraft. Training develops precision navigation using cockpit instruments, IFR procedures, and approach techniques required for professional aviation operations.
Flight Instructor Rating
The Flight Instructor Rating qualifies pilots to teach others to fly under Transport Canada regulations. Instructor training develops lesson planning, airmanship coaching, and the ability to safely demonstrate and correct student errors in the aircraft.
