Pilot Journey
Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
Starting at $14,000
This is the starting point for most pilots, as the private pilot licence allows a pilot to carry multiple passengers. It is also the stepping stone for earning other ratings, such as the night, multi-engine, and instrument ratings.
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
Starting at $17,000
This is the next stage of training for holders of a private pilot licence, and ultimately the next step in becoming a professional pilot.
Multi Engine - Instrument Rating (Multi-IFR)
Starting at $15,000
These ratings (often completed in tandem) are add-ons for holders of a private pilot or commercial pilot license. The multi-engine rating, as the name suggests, allows you to fly planes with more than one engine, while the instrument rating allows you to fly planes under instrument conditions.
Night Rating
Starting at $3,500
An add-on rating which allows the holder of a private pilot licence (at minimum) the ability to fly at night.
Instructor Rating
Starting at $12,000
The instructor rating allows you the opportunity to develop the confidence and skills required to teach others how to fly, while equipping you with the necessary tools for succeeding as a professional pilot.

This permit is designed for day operations in a non-high performance aircraft, where pilots are able to fly with a solo passenger.

Donate a Resources for Success pilot or AME package
We built packages that any aspiring pilot or AME would dream of having as they begin their careers. The items in the packages are normally not covered by flight schools or post secondary institutions. Receiving these resources would allow the students to focus on their studies. These packages would be awarded to Black Canadian students that have identified they are ready to take the next step in their aviation career and identified the need for support. Our packages include, but not limited to: Inspection mirrors, subscription to Foreflight, noise cancelling gear, safety boots, log books, tool case, flight calculators, and more!
