Hello everyone :)
I am 17 years old high school student, currently on the PPL stage. I am coming here to share with you what I have already seen, and to get somes advices on my project.
My plan is to start my training right after my graduation from high school, when I’ll be 18. I would love to fly big airplanes like the Dash 8 or the CRJ, that’s why I am looking for a school that will help me reach that as fast as possible. But I’m realistic, I now that I will have to fly light planes before, and to be honest I think It can be interesting too.
For now I looked at Exact’Air, Cargair, Grondair in Quebec, and Harv’s Air in Manitoba. Doing my training in Quebec would not be a problem as I speak french too.
I also looked at schools that would give me a diploma, with the flight training:
- Mount Royal University : http://www.mtroyal.ca/Programs...../index.htm (http://www.mtroyal.ca/ProgramsCourses/FacultiesSchoolsCentres/Business/Programs/AviationDiploma/index.htm)
- University of the Fraser Valley : https://www.ufv.ca/programs/aviation-diploma/#d.en.961125
- Okanagan College : http://webapps-5.okanagan.bc.c.....ionDiploma (http://webapps-5.okanagan.bc.ca/ok/Calendar/CommercialAviationDiploma)
- British Columbia Institute of Technology : BCIT : : Airline and Flight Operations - Commercial Pilot: Full-time, Diploma (http://www.bcit.ca/study/programs/1005dipts)
- Mount Allison University : Mount Allison University | Aviation (http://www.mta.ca/programs/aviation/)
- Algonquin college : http://www.algonquincollege.co.....d-science/ (http://www.algonquincollege.com/sat/program/aviation-management-general-arts-and-science/)
- Canadore College : http://www.canadorecollege.ca/.....ot-program (http://www.canadorecollege.ca/programs-courses/commercial-fixed-wing-pilot-program)
- Conestoga : http://www.conestogac.on.ca/fu.....nd-science (http://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/aviation-general-arts-and-science)
- Confederation College : http://www.confederationcolleg.....management (http://www.confederationcollege.ca/program/aviation-flight-management)
- Sault College : http://www.saultcollege.ca/Pro.....upcode=AVI (http://www.saultcollege.ca/Programs/Programs.asp?progcode=4061&cat=overview&groupcode=AVI)
- Western Social Science : Commercial Aviation Management - DAN Management and Organizational Studies - Western University (http://dan.uwo.ca/undergraduate/cam/index.html)
- Cégep de Chicoutimi : http://www.cegep-chicoutimi.qc.....daeronefs/ (http://www.cegep-chicoutimi.qc.ca/programmes/pilotage-daeronefs/)
- Saskatchewan Polytechnic : http://saskpolytech.ca/program.....Pilot.aspx (http://saskpolytech.ca/programs-and-courses/programs/Commercial-Pilot.aspx)
Do have any advice about all the schools I talked about ? What to think about the schools that offer a diploma with the flight training ? Will a diploma of that kind allow me to do something else in case I loose my medical ? Is a diploma like that an advantage on a resume ?
Thanks a lot by advance for your answers guys:)
