Ocean Air has working West Coast pilots doing the training, they are the best choice.

Your quote :

" iii) I have read great things about Canadian pilot training (and solo T&G's to obtain rating unlike USA) "

............................................................ .....................

Solo T&G's are probably the biggest draw back to training in Canada as it has driven up the cost of training due to excessive insurance charges.

Transport Canada has to many idiots sitting in cubicles dreaming up these goofy requirements and the five solo take off requirement is typical of the mentality that we have here working for the regulator. This requirement adds no benefit to your training, in fact it denies you the dual training for those circuits.

If you decide to fly with Ocean tell them Chuck Ellsworth recommended them.
