Training for a licence in Canada

Whatever Brantford Flight Centre teaches, the licence at the end of it is issued by Transport Canada Civil Aviation under the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). A school cannot change those rules, only how well it walks you through them.

The licences, in order

  1. 1.Recreational Pilot Permit
  2. 2.Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
  3. 3.Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
  4. 4.Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)

The medical

A Category 3 medical for private flying, or a Category 1 for commercial — from a Civil Aviation Medical Examiner.

This is the shape of the system, not advice, and rules change — Transport Canada is the only source that binds. Ask Brantford Flight Centre what their own approval actually covers.

Before you book anything here

We can't tell you whether Brantford Flight Centre is any good. Nobody can from the internet, and we'd be making it up if we tried. What we can do is give you the questions with a checkable answer.

The advertised price is the legal minimum, not your price

Ask them: What did your last ten students actually finish on — hours and total spend? If nobody can tell you, that is the answer.

Never prepay more than you could afford to lose

Ask them: Is prepaid money held separately from the school's working account, and what happens to my balance if the school stops trading? Get the answer in writing.

Aircraft per student decides how fast you finish

Ask them: How many students are active right now, how many aircraft are serviceable today, and how far ahead do I need to book?

The other five, plus a checklist to walk in with+

Your instructor will probably leave

Ask them: How long has my instructor been here, and what happens to my training if they leave halfway through?

Weather will set your timeline more than you will

Ask them: What proportion of lessons get cancelled here in your worst month, and how do you catch students back up afterwards?

You are buying a country's licence, not a school's certificate

Ask them: Which authority issues the licence I finish with, and what does it take to convert it to where I actually want to work?

Check the approval with the regulator, not the website

Ask them: What is your approval number? Then go and look it up on the authority's own register yourself.

Get the extras in writing before you pay a deposit

Ask them: Send me a written list of everything I will pay that is not in the headline course price.

  • Can I see the syllabus and the full price list, in writing, today?
  • How many aircraft are serviceable right now, and how many active students?
  • What did your last ten students finish on, in hours and in total cost?
  • Where is prepaid money held, and what happens to it if the school stops trading?
  • What is your approval number with the authority?
  • Can I talk to two current students you haven't picked for me?
  • What proportion of lessons are cancelled in your worst weather month?
  • Which authority issues my licence at the end, and what would converting it involve?
