Professional Pilot Program

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in flight training with Aero Academy.

This is a good time to start your pilot training. The airlines are starting to hire those who are qualified. Pilots who are training now, or are starting their training will be the first to be hired.

Pilots at all levels will be needed. AERO ACADEMY's Professional Pilot Program has been designed to give you the training and knowledge needed for a career in aviation.

The following information outlines admission requirements, curriculum and the cost of training.

If you have any problems please contact Aero Academy for assistance.

We look forward to meeting you in person to discuss your individual training requirements.

General

The Professional Pilot Program is a 48 week course for the full time student covering the Private and Commercial Pilot Licenses. It is designed for the student with no experience, however this program can accommodate those already holding licenses.

(Please note that some professional training is available for part time students, but not as a part of this program - please ask for details.)

The student must attend classes a minimum of 5 days per week. Ground school will be 20 hours per week. Attendance on weekends and evenings may be required depending on weather and other considerations such as night flying.

Classes for full time students start at various times throughout the year. Please contact the school office for the starting time of the next class.

Admission Requirements

Prior to acceptance, applicants will be interviewed and must be able to successfully complete an English and Mathematics skill test. Other aptitude tests may also be required.

A Transport Canada Class 1 Aviation Medical must be obtained by each applicant. Training will not commence until we have received the Medical Certificate from Transport Canada. You will be considered if you have a Class III medical and have applied for a Class I medical.
