Flying Schools In Canada
 

Hi Guys,

anyone knows a good cheap flight schools in Canada. Im considering doing my PPL to CPL/IR and doing my CFI rating. thanks

happy new year 2013 :ok:

My friend, working on his CPL, had a number of bad experiences at Brampton Flight Centre near Toronto. So he switched to Island Air Flight School at YTZ and is quite happy with them. Also, I've heard good things about Toronto Airways but the airport has been sold to developers so they may not be around much longer. You can check out their websites.

I'm doing my PPL at Island Air.
I'm happy there but can't imagine it counts as cheap. If location isn't an issue ( Canada is a very big place, you know;)) I'd imagine there are place that are just as good but cheaper.

Contact Ottawa Aviation Services, they tend to hire their own grads and are a very busy school, on top of this Ottawa is a great town to live in.

Well if you end up there maybe I'll see you around
Safe landings!

cost
 

ive compared several canadian schools and the total cost seems to be around $45,000 . is that the price you guys are paying?:eek::confused:

Check out confederation college's program in Thunder Bay. It's only 12600$ except you don't get your flying portion done for the multi-IFR. Only written. But most grads go to Cornwall aviation to get the multi-IFR done after graduating. It's only 5000$ or so IIRC. That's what I'll do if I don't get accepted to the University of Western ontario's aviation program.

EDIT: I should've read the title. Ottawa aviation services would be a great flight school!

hi,
yea i've checked their website and saw their aviation program,
confederation college looks good but they are not a flight school righ?
they offer the courses on float too? i 'll have it on the list!

thanks cheers:ok:

I dont know if you already decided but i'd look into Southern Interior Flight Centre in Kelowna. I've met the guys over there and their very professional, use good equipment, and an interesting environment to fly in. Prices are on their website.

No, confed is a college program not a flight school. And yes they do give you a float rating too.

What do you think of flycanadian at Lindsay, ON?
 

I am actually thinking to get my PPL from there. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate that.

The prices listed for confederation college sound like a subsidized price by the Ontario government, often the case in Ontario, only available to Ontario residents.

check! SIFC
 

ive checked Southern Interior Flight Centre, seems to be a good school!

cheers:ok:

Testimonials
 

Southern Interior Flight Centre testimonials looks to be good.,

anyone can tell me more about the Instructor Rating and employment at the school?

Thanks

Confed is subsidized for all students. Not just Ontario residents.

Alberta is Provincial-tax free, so you would save well over $2,250 learning to fly there. Cost of living a little bit less too...

ok, if you say so, im trying to check some now.yea cost of living is a matter too but what about the weather in Alberta?:confused:

How about Blue Bird flight Academy in Chilliwack? People say it is good....

I did a big part of my training at Harv's Air in Manitoba. They have two locations in the province and are a really great school!
Check them out at: Harv's Air

All the best!
