Staff & Ground School
We have been in the flight training business for over twenty-five years. Our professional staff of 8 instructors has amassed more than 25,000 hours instructing single engine, multi engine, and I.F.R. flying. They are also well qualified to teach the ground portions of the courses.
Ground training is conducted in large and well-equipped classrooms with multimedia presentations. Instrument and Multi-engine preparatory training is provided on an ATC 810 Flight Simulator.
Ground School is offered on a one on one basis or in a class setting. The ground school that is offered in a class setting is held the second week of every month on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings as well as on Saturdays. The one on one portion will be determined by both personal and instructor availability. Once you have paid for the ground school portion, you may continue to sit in on all classes free of charge. At Skywings we believe that being a pilot is more than just getting a license, so we also offer survival training, cross country trips (in aircraft) crossing Canadian/US borders, as well as mountain flying in our curriculum.
Because of our training experience, integrated programs, and dedicated staff, your flight training will be second to none! Our students average 82% on Transport Canada written exams. and our average training times for private students at 50 hrs. says it all!
