Need Advice to choose flight school in BC

[Nabz1212]

Hello Folks,

Staying safe everybody!!
i need advise from you all kind aviators here. I am currently training in Ontario and i am planning to move to BC somewhere by Delta. Reasons to move :-
-family
-get my CPL (pending PPL flight test) by September 2021,things are slowly opening up in ON however dual flight training wont happen until mid AUG.(speaking of my school).
-wx in BC would allow more flights than ON.winters of course

Please if you can suggest flights school in BC that would be suitable to my conditions and get things rolling.i understand there is no rush to cpl in given circumstance but CPL is first milestone that will open other doors for me .

Thanks

Wait who told you lower mainland weather is better than ON? It’s basically not flyable during the winter months

You're bound to get way more flying done if you stay in the prairies.
1. Less population density, hence faster to recover from a second or third or umpteenth wave of the pandemic.
2. Lesser fog or precip days leading to much more flying days.
3. Wind and Thunderstorm always a concern on the prairie but if you try to fly a couple times every day before 3 pm, it improves your chances of ideal weather a lot more.
4. Go towards SK or MB for the least complicated airspace, thereby providing you with more time spent doing useful training as opposed to say Vancouver where you might spend a while going around airspace so that you can make it to the practice area each flight!

Now if you absolutely must train in BC, try going to Penticton or Vernon - flight schools there with faster access to "training" airspace. If you absolutely must stay in the lower mainland, maybe go talk to Coastal Pacific or Principal Air at Abbotsford...

Have you thought about Vancouver Island? Weather is usually better than in Lower Mainland, more flying days...
