Pilot for a day: everything starts here. This is a hands-on course for beginners. Familiarize yourself with the world of aviation, experience what it’s like to fly and learn basic piloting skills.

This familiarization package includes a 1.5-hour preparatory ground course. You will learn about the forces that act on an aircraft in flight. We will discuss the various flight control surfaces that allow a pilot to steer and control an aircraft, their location, their effects and how they are controlled from the cockpit. As well, we will review the cockpit instruments, their functions and the information they provide.

Manoeuvres
You will learn to safely manoeuvre an aircraft, both on the ground and in flight. Once in the air, you will be shown the various flight attitudes and manoeuvres that allow you to control a plane during climbs, descents, turns and level flight.

Navigation
Put theory into practice with a cross-country flight that gives you a bird’s eye view of the surrounding region. We will introduce you to the various procedures used to identify your position and fly a course safely to your destination.

Communications
Learn to communicate with air traffic control towers and other aircraft in flight

It goes without saying that this kind of undertaking requires preparation. That’s why every flight is preceded by a preparatory ground course that explains in detail all phases of your upcoming flight and associated manoeuvres. You will then take to the sky in the company of a flight instructor, who will round out your ground training and ensure that the flight proceeds smoothly.
