MFC

Hi, I've been studying at the Moncton Flight college for just over a year. I can tell you it's as good as it's rep. However as the guys above have said, every region has it's Pros and Cons.

For example MFC is located at an airport with a tower, so you get to build confidence talking to ATC and sharing radio time with CargoJet and AirCanada, the flip side is that some days you spend an extra 15 minutes holding short when tower has 2 heavies coming in on the approach.

The airport has a community around it with lots of accommodation within walking distance of the college, our head of admissions usually has a print out with lists of available options. On the flipside, Moncton is not the city for you if you are a party animal, You'll probably have more fun outside the cockpit in somewhere like Toronto.

The school has high safety standards, as do majority of the schools in Canada. Fair warning, winters get quite cold here (We are in Canada after all), but the summers are also awesome with nice sunny beaches and the works.
