Welcome to Pacific Flying Club

If flying professionally or recreationally is your dream, we can help transform that dream into reality.

Your Pilot Journey Starts Here

At Pacific Flying Club, we offer everything you need to get started — and keep going. Begin with your Private Pilot Licence (PPL), the essential first step for anyone who wants to fly. Move on to the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) to turn your passion into a career. Our advanced simulators help you train in all conditions, while the Instructor Rating prepares you to teach future pilots. Not sure if flying is right for you? A Familiarization Flight gives you a hands-on introduction to the experience. And with access to our fleet of 30 aircraft, you’ll be training in the same aircraft trusted by professionals across Canada.
