Don't forget to consider Winnipeg Aviation!

And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. :)

I used Harv's Air for hour building back in 2006 (so I can't really comment on PPL etc. - but all European students I talked to seemed satisfied). It is a busy place, but there is still a "family" feel about the place. Harv even arranged to pick me up himself at Winnipeg airport when I arrived!

However, for PPL purposes, I would rather recommend going to St Andrews; controlled airfield, possibility of night flying (so you could do a night qualification along with your PPL), close to Winnipeg International (where you can arrange touch and goes - a bit like dropping by at BHX or EMA in the UK!) and closer to nice airfields like Lac du Bonnet or Gimli. Steinbach can be a bit "provincial". I had no aircraft booking issues with Harvs'Air, and there were no extras to pay.

I wouldn't worry about winter weather in Manitoba. It can get very cold indeed, but it's usually clear so perfectly flyable (with great aircraft performance).

I have no experience of Pro-IFR (although I understand they have a good reputation). If it's your first time in Canada, then British Columbia might be more attractive than Manitoba...

Cheers :cool:

Pro IFR is a good school, however, the weather in general at the airport sucks.
There's times you'll go through a full week of being fogged in.
