Flying Club is fully accredited by the
Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia.
We are the first flight training centre in the Lower Mainland

by PPSEC; accreditation is a voluntary process whereby a school
seeks recognition of its standards of integrity and quality)

an opportunity to upgrade their skills and knowledge and are held
September through May.

available when you want to fly!

Flying Club prides itself on offering the most extensive insurance
coverage of any flight training centre in British Columbia.
Our coverage includes $7,500,000 liability on Cessna 152's and
$10,000,000 on the four seat aircraft.

The
Club's aircraft are newer 152 and 172 models professionally maintained
by the Club's own maintenance facility. The Club is large
enough to employ its own maintenance staff dedicated to keeping
the fleet
available for its members. Unlike other schools who may
contract their maintenance, we do not have to wait for maintenance
on our aircraft.

club is a full participating member of the
Air Transport Association of Canada and the British Columbia
Aviation Council.
