LOOKING FOR THE BEST CANADIAN FLIGHT SCHOOL

@ bakaman Well, I hope you intend on immigrating or staying in Canada then... I trained at the ex- Montreal Flying Club and found that upon returning to Europe, I had a pile of exams and conversions to take costing me the price of at least two brand new Toyota Prius'. The Canadian license is supposedly ICAO but I found that it is not accepted in many other countries without the appropriate endorsements. The USA will require you to convert your licenses from scratch as well ( that means getting a PPL based on your Canadian CPL) and then taking all the required exams for the FAA CPL, re-doing an IR rating and the ATPL exams. In Europe its much worse, it consists of a battery of 'Frozen-ATPL' exams and a series of flight tests with lengthy IFR and simulator time. In the end, my first job was in Japan but only because I speak Japanese fluently (twas a childhood passion) and the flying environment/regulations are similar to the US. My second job cost me my career since it was flying medevac in the Brazilian Amazon where unfortunately I came down with a nasty tropical bug which cost me my medical and thereby promptly ended my aviation career. Before getting these jobs though, it was a costly uphill battle just to get all the paperwork in order. Now I have three useless ATPL's (FAA, JAA and Canadian) more than 5000 hours and two type ratings but no more career. So I hope that either: 1. You have a backup industry to fall upon if you end up unemployed in the aviation industry.2. You are wealthy.3. You can catch a lucky break and maybe get a flying job in Canada (which would mean breaking through a very protective market.) Best of luck to you. MJ O'Donnell
I just PM'ed you, check your mailbox. thank you
Hi, I really wanna know a bit more of this school. can you tell what are your impressions please?
Hey. What more do you want to know? My impressions of the school are that they are first class professionals and their training quality is top notch. Cheers.

there is two flight school i can recommend you. if you planning to pursue at British Columbia, ill suggest Pacific Rim Aviation Academy. One of the largest and well known 5 star school with good fleets. if you planning to do your training all with Diamond A/C up to DA42, then ill suggest a school called '' Sea Land Air''located at Boundary Bay Airport. and if you planning to look up some school east side of Canada, ill suggest you to look up the websites available on the internet. regards.
