Flying School in Vancouver for International Students

Post by Oriya »

Hello!
I'm looking for the most recommended flying school in the great area of Vancouver.
So far there are 2 schools that got my attention:
1) Skyquest
2) Langley Flying School

any pros and cons regarding those two?
any suggestions regarding any school in Vancouver area?

Thanks!

Should we talk about Blue Bird?

I actually thought about dropping in when I went on vacation last summer. I also was thinking of taking a picture of their sign for my avatar.

Anyway, the Internet is a terrible place to get information about flying schools. The only time someone goes online to talk about them is if they work there and are trying to sell you their programs or they had a bad experience and they want to warn you.

Drop in and see how they interact with you. Try to find students that went there and take a fam flight. I hope you find one you like.

When I was shopping for a flying school I visited local airports, looked around and talked to people. One handed me a folder and told me to call them if I had any questions. Another talked to me at some length, much of it sitting in a plane out on the ramp. Three guesses who got my money.

I did my first solo in that same plane. :)
