Training at Insignia

Post by aviator123456789 »

Hi all,
I am an aspiring student who wishes to do my flight training (CPL) from insignia college located at boundary bay airport, Vancouver, British Colombia.
I wish to know all the details about the college, the quality of training, instructors and further more of what all of you all know about the school.

Thanks In advance.

I would not do that, there have been accidents and engine failures in this school last year.

Huh? Can you post the cadors? I think you have them mixed up with another school. These guys are actually pretty good.

That's a student that screwed up. Might be related to bad instruction, but I'd say you could encounter this at almost any school in the country.

Are you saying we could encounter 1.student screwup or/ and 2.bad instruction in almost any flight school? Are you saying any flight school who haven’t had one is going to have an accident soon?

I don’t think aircraft accidents should be seen as a normal inevitable result of flying, all measurements in place are there to prevent further occurrence.

A student that screws up does not necessarily equate to bad instruction. Some students do weird things, intentionally or not, when flying solo.

Every flight school I have dealt with (as a student or instructor) has had a student damage an airplane in the past 10 years. It shouldn't happen, but it does. That in itself is not enough to bad mouth a flying school.
