I am just planning my third trip to the same school in Vancouver, Pacific Rim at Pitt Meadows. No connection other than happy customer. Did my float rating there and post -ppl training. Well run, high standards, good instructors, friendly, small block payments. Its about 30 miles from downtown Vancouver - don't expect night life, I stay at the local ramada and walk to the airport (about 20-25 min). Patient ATC, easy to find airport from the air, little in the way of distractions !
