Canadian Flight Centre

I've had a blast doing my multi engine rating in CFC and I've got my letter of recommend at only 8.7 hours. I am saying "only", because I was doing this rating after my 9-5 work flying twice a week, so initially I thought that multi will take me around 12 hours to get to flight test standards. But their super effective program and talented instructors helped to get this rating in very efficient manner. Looking forward to IFR rating with CFC. Edit: Just finished my Instrument Group 1 with CFC. It was a blast. While I was able to fly only once a week, CFC was able to bring me to (and above) TC standard only within 7 flights. I am extremely happy and 100% recommend.

I am a 16 year old high school student. I came here from Japan to experience flying. My English is not good but,the staff was very kind to me. Especially, Jack's explanation was easy to understand. My dream of flying came true. This facility is really a wonderful place. I will tell my family and friends in Japan about this experience.

Thanks to charter pilot Santiago Arias Camacho for a wonderful flight yesterday to Kelowna in one of CFC's delightful Cessna 172s! What I have learned from many years of traveling for both business and pleasure is that ways and means of getting to the destination make a difference. My business in Kelowna yesterday was a success, in part because I made a good choice to fly with Canadian Flight Centre and for the good fortune of having Santiago as my pilot. The best way to accomplish your mission is not always the fastest nor the cheapest, and leaving some things to chance can work to your advantage. In planning my trip I considered my options and recognized that a single engine VFR flight would be ideal. I needed to slow down, take my time, and absorb the world-class majestic scenery along the route from YPK to YLW and back in order to clear my mind. Gambling on a cloud ceiling shared the making of my important decision on a big asset purchase with random chance. Would the weather make the VFR flight possible or not? My deal was in the hands of fate and the excellent decision-making skill of my pilot, Santiago Arias Camacho. A first-rate pilot, Santiago would take no risk. As I waited in the comfortable lounge at CFC's YPK base, Santiago watched the changing weather picture along the route. Would the clouds lift? If so, that would be the signal that fate wanted me to go. If not, I would rest assured that the deal wasn't meant to be. After a short time Santiago explained the situation and our options; it looked like we might be able to get through. To that I said, let's go! Not only did Santiago find the keyhole in the clouds but his friendly, personable nature made him great company for the thoroughly enjoyable trip. Underway he explained the instruments and controls and seemed to sincerely enjoy answering my many questions about flying. The weather continued to improve and I was gifted with stunning views of the mountains through the 172's ample windows all around. I arrived in Kelowna 'on my game' and won the deal I had hoped to do there. The flight back served to lift my high spirts even higher. Often it's important to ensure that your flight is going to get you to a place on time in virtually any weather conditions and there are private jets for those missions. Knowing when to slow down, take your time, clear your mind, and let the weather roll the dice on a deal is a skill. The next time such an opportunity arises, well, I have CFC's number and I look forward to flying with Santiago again. Thank you, Santiago and Canadian Flight Centre, for a perfect flight!

Finally flew around the Mountains! The most scenic flight I've done so far. We were originally booked for Saturday. The weather wasn't looking good for that weekend. Since we were leaving Van couver shortly after we thought it wasn't going to workout. It was Wednesday Afternoon when we called the school, Thanks to Christina the Dispatcher who helped us reschedule the flight for Thursday.She helped us with planning and guided us through everything from paperwork, which aircraft to choose, popular destinations etc. Next day we arrive at the school and I was impressed by the facilities. I've seen a few over the years but wow this place was well equipped. The aircrafts conditions were much better than most I've seen. We met Adam the Flight Instructor. who planned a great route to satisfy our many requests in the shortest time possible. I learned alot about mountain flying and the views were so much better than the Microsoft flight simulator :) Can't wait to come back for more!
