Flight Training
A minimum of 45 hours of flight time must be acquired. This flight time consists of a minimum of 17 hours DUAL and 12 hours SOLO flight time. The remainder of this time is completed under the supervision of your flight instructor. During this training, you will gain experience on pre-flight inspection, aircraft ground handling, emergency procedures, take-off, landing, radio procedures, cross country navigation, instrument, and other related exercises. The prerequisite for this program is the Category III Medical administered by a Transport Canada authorized Medical Examiner, and the minimum age to obtain this licence is 17 years. These lessons will train you for your flight test, which is conducted here, at Spectrum Airways.
