| INDIA STUDENTS - STUDY AT SPECTRUM AIRWAYS! |
| 1. Where are we located? |
| Spectrum Airways is located at the Burlington Airpark in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. We are approximately 30 minutes West of Toronto. |
| 2. How long will this take, and what will it cost? |
|
At Spectrum Airways, our students make up their own flying and study schedule. We are open 7 days a week from 8:00-23:00. Everyone
works and learns at different rates. Some students will come to us with no aviation experience, while others will come to us with a
great deal of aviation experience. Therefore, it is impossible to give a standard quote for everyone. Realistically, you can expect
to complete your training within a year to a year and a half. Although, it will depend upon weather and student skill/preparation
level.

| 3. Student Visa |
|
This process should be started as soon as possible. The application must be completed EXACTLY as they require, or it may not
be accepted. It is recommended you allow at least two months for the application process prior to your proposed start date
at Spectrum Airways. You must show that you have adequate monetary funds available to you to pay tuition fees, maintain yourself
and dependants who go to Canada and to pay return transportation costs without engaging in employment in Canada. We will provide
you with a letter of acceptance to Spectrum Airways, which you will need for the Visa application process. You should check with
your nearby Canadian visa or immigration office for further details

| 4. Accommodations |

Spectrum Airways offers accommodations to our International students (first come, first serve basis). The house is located
on the airport (literally less than a 5 minute walk), so you are not required to take a bus every day! We will provide you
with a room and bed. There is a common kitchen (fridge and stove) and common washing machine for your use. The monthly rent
rates vary. Please ask us for more information about this.
|

| 6. When can I start my program? |
|
As mentioned, Spectrum Airways has very flexible hours. You are welcome to start your flight training as soon as you get
your Student Visa and are in Canada. We recommend you contact us 2-3 weeks prior to arriving in Canada so that we can
start booking your lessons.
|
| 7. Payment |
|
Payment is always pay-as-you-go. This means – every time you fly, you pay! There is no upfront cost, other than the cost of the
ground school.
|

|
At Spectrum Airways, we have 7 Cessna 152’s, 7 Cessna 172’s and two Piper Seneca’s. Note that the DGCA recognizes all of these
aircraft for the Indian Licence conversion. Do not get tricked into thinking that a Cessna 150, or a Piper Seminole is the same. The
DGCA will NOT recognize those other aircraft. Please visit the DGCA website for
further information (www.dgca.nic.in).
