Re: Flight schools and their status?

Seems at least in Ontario, if the school offers commercial pilot licenses, they can't offer private instruction since they're regulated by the Private Careers Colleges Act, but small schools that only offer private instruction can do whatever they would like since they are not regulated by the prov...

Re: Flight training still open during Ontario province-wide lockdown?

I assume training for the private pilot licence is not essential so that training shouldn’t be allowed. Once again, I remind you that (with a few exceptions) there is no list of activities that are and aren't allowed. Only businesses (or parts of businesses) that are permitted to open. In reality I...

Which is what they explicitly permitted to do, as a Private Career College, under the Ontario emergency regulations - that, and only that. So if I wanted to take training for the recreational permit right now under the lockdown I couldn’t do it until the 23rd of January when the the lockdown expires?

Hello, I’m just curious if it’s legal to still attend my flight training. I was told the training can still carry on. The restrictions does exempt post secondary education that has to be in person.

It's the business that has to obey the regulations, not the customer. It's legal for you to attend anything they offer. How do you conduct discovery or introductory flights side by side ( within 2 m) ? During the lockdown can we still conduct these types of training flights in Ontario? Are they ess...

Re: Flight Training vs Discovery Flights (Covid 19)

The big difference between a discovery flight and flight training is that most people who take discovery flights do not continue to go on to flight training. Most flight instructors are limiting themselves to a rather finite number of students, to reduce their social interactions and therefore the ...
