AC rentals in canada, private flying
 
Hi
I Have been searching the web for the best way to rent a cessna in quebec in july 2015. Is it me or the offer seem much narrower than in the usa?
Any help or good connections would be appreciated regarding the rental and the nice places to visit in quebec and around with a small aeroplane and a PPL.

Trillium Airborne Logistics and St. Hubert Flying School rent aircraft. Both are based at Saint Hubert Airport (CYHU), 14 NM east of Dorval-Montreal International Airport, (CYUL). Dry rental rate for a 150-hp Cessna 172M is approximately $115 Canadian per hour. Tax NOT included. Yes, there are taxes. July weather to avoid are large thunderstorms with hail, (+TSRW +TSGR). Air Traffic Control in the province of Quebec is bi-lingual (Francophone). English is spoken outside of Quebec. French, (Quebecios francias), is spoken frequently in the province of New Brunswick, but English is predominant. You may find Quebecios in Canada a curious blend of accents and terms. It does not sound Parisian!

The Laurentian Mountains in autumn are gorgeous! Saint Jovite is pretty. Old Montreal and Quebec City are wonderful. Enjoy a Smoked Meat on Rye Bread at Schwartz's Deli (Schwartz's La Charcuterie Hebraique de Montreal). Fly to New York. New York State is the second largest wine producer in the U.S.A. (California being the number-one wine producer). See Niagara Falls from a boat or helicopter. If you are truly French, you can't help but be snobby about the Ontario's Wine Region around St. Catherines. Sample a glass of Ontario's "Ice Wine". Drive to Niagara-On-The-Lake. Fly to Ottawa/Gatineau. Ottawa is Canada's Capital City and hosts many museums, including the National Aviation and Science and Technology Museums. The National Arts Centre and the National Art Museum are a must see while in Ottawa. Ottawa is bi-lingual, mostly..

Stay at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa. Stay at the Chateau Frontenac when in Quebec City. Stay at The Place d'Armes or The Queen Elizabeth Hotel when in Montreal.

Bonjour pe37,

Evansb has given good advice. You will find more choice for aircraft rental in Quebec, and eastern Ontario, than it appears.

ATAC in Canada:

ATAC - Operators

will list most of the flying schools/clubs who would rent GA aircraft.

This list:

AIRCRAFT OPERATOR - FIXED WING | Canadian Aviation Guide - A-List

Should also be useful.

You are welcomed to PM me, if you need further help...

Thank you soo much guys!

Any sound advice about a good place to pass the float plane variant?

For float flying in Quebec, I recommend you contact Bel Air Aviation:

BEL AIR AVIATION • LAC-À-LA TORTUE

If they can't help you, they certainly will know who can. I was there last summer, and could not have been treated any better.

step turn you are a mine of informations, feel free to pay a visit whenever you are around LFOT!

My pleasure pe37. I'm not familiar with LFOT. I'm in EDWB, Bremerhaven, Germany this week, then headed home to Ontario on the weekend.

I'm interested in the operations at Biscarosse, France, and one plane there in particular. I will go there one day for a visit.

If you are in Ontario next summer, a great place for flying is:

Lake Country Airways: floatplane training, endorsements, float charters and rentals
