There is no requirement to begin one aspect of pilot training before the other. Durham Flight Centre recommends trying to complete the ground school around the same time as your flight training, however this is not required. It’s important to note, in order to write the Transport Canada Written exam, you must have completed a minimum of 10 flight training hours as well as the required ground school hours. #FlightTraining #PilotTraining #FlightSchool

Chevaughn Christopher is one of the Dispatchers at Durham Flight Centre but you can also find him on the ramp at Enterprise Aviation Group. As long as he can remember, Chevaughn Christopher has always wanted to be a Pilot. He pursued that dream by getting his PPL in Trinidad and then finished his pilot training in Canada. The business side of the aviation industry has always fascinated Chevaughn Christopher. In the future he sees himself as a Management Pilot in the airline ...or corporate field. One of his dreams is to be a Director or Executive VP of flight operations or business optimization. #Pilot #Aviation #PilotTraining #Flying

A full motion simulator is one of the tools available to you as you go through your pilot training at Durham Flight Centre. #FlightSchool #PilotTraining #FlightSimulator #Flying #Pilot #Aviation

The sightseeing/introductory flight can be purchased one of two ways. The flight itself can be booked by calling the school and payment would be required after the flight has returned. If you’d like to receive a gift certificate, it can be purchased in-person or over the phone. The gift certificate has a 1 year expiry date after the date of purchase and can be booked for anytime while the gift certificate is valid. Gift certificates purchased over the phone will be mailed out to an address of your choice through regular Canada Post. #Sightseeing #FlightSchool #Aviation

We have to agree! #FlightSchool #PilotTraining #AviationQuotes

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations on your first solo flight, David!

Today we pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 2,300,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In our flight school, computer programming and aviation go hand-in-hand. Paul Beaudon works as a dispatcher at DFC.

DFC Introduction: Ella Burchartz has been around the aviation industry since she was a baby. Ella is the daughter of Brian, Enterprise Aviation Group's Chief Pilot.

The answer to today's #TriviaTuesday question is: The acronym AROWJIL reminds us of the documents legally required on board an aircraft: Certificate of Airwor...thiness, Registration, Pilot Operating Handbook, Weight & Balance, Journey Log, Insurance, Licenses (pilot, radio, medical). Thank you for your participation! Thank you Candace Pardo for this photo! La réponse au #QuizduMardi d'aujourd'hui est: Les documents légalement requis à bord d'un avion sont le certificat de navigabilité, l'immatriculation, le manuel d'exploitation du pilote, masse et centrage, le carnet de route, assurances, licences (pilote, radio, médical). Merci pour votre participation! Merci à Candace Pardo pour cette photo!
