Training Programs

Recreational Pilot Permit (RPP)
The Recreational Pilot Permit is an entry-level certificate allowing flight within Canada in a single-engine aircraft under daytime VFR conditions. It requires fewer hours than a PPL and is ideal for pilots who fly for leisure close to home.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Multi-Engine IFR Rating
The Multi-Engine Instrument Rating combines multi-engine endorsement with instrument flying authorization, qualifying pilots to operate twin-engine aircraft in IMC. This rating is a standard requirement for entry-level airline and charter positions.
Night Rating
The Night Rating permits flight operations after dark under VFR conditions. Training covers night navigation, lighting systems, physiological effects of night flying, and the additional judgment required when operating without natural daylight reference.
VFR Over-the-Top Rating
The VFR Over-The-Top Rating allows pilots to fly above a cloud layer in VMC while transiting instrument conditions below. It bridges the gap between basic VFR and a full instrument rating for cross-country navigation.
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.
Ground School
Ground school covers the theoretical knowledge required for pilot licences and ratings, including aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, air law, and human factors. Courses are available in-person, online, or as a hybrid to suit different schedules.
Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)
The Airline Transport Pilot Licence is the highest pilot certification in Canada, required to act as pilot-in-command of an airline. ATPL training encompasses advanced instrument flying, multi-crew operations, and comprehensive aeronautical knowledge across all Transport Canada subject areas.
Discovery Flight
An introductory flying experience designed for prospective students. You will fly the aircraft under the guidance of an instructor, experience the fundamentals of flight control, and explore whether pilot training is right for you.
Mountain Checkride
Mountain flying proficiency check for pilots operating in BC mountainous terrain.
BCIT Airline & Flight Operations
Partnership program with BCIT for airline and flight operations certification.
