Training Costs
We believe in high quality training and transparency. We quote a realistic estimate for the cost of training, rather than just the minimum hours stated by Transport Canada. Actual cost will vary depending on student ability and study skills. Each student learns at different rates; flight training costs are unique to each individual student depending on how they progress through the syllabus. Flight training costs provided are an average cost estimate based on Transport Canada statistics.
