Ultra-Light Permit
|
|
Obtaining an Ultra-Light Permit is the fastest and easiest route to braving the sky and enjoying the experience of flying. The Ultra-Light Pilot will have proven knowledge of the fundamentals of airmanship, navigation and communication. It is also easy to upgrade to a Recreational Pilot Permit as all dual and solo flight time acquired in ultra-light aeroplanes can be credited towards the experience requirement for Recreational Pilot Permit application.
Transport Canada's required minimums for Ultra-Light Permit is 10 hours total flight training. However, since Sea Land Air Flight Centre operates from an airport within Class C airspace, and we also train in an advanced ultra-light aircraft (the SportStar) equipped with an advanced avionic system including transponders and GPS, therefore we will train students to a higher standard so as to assure safe operation of a SportStar aircraft in a Class C airspace. Accordingly, students should expect to fly a minimum of 25 hours training in the SportStar, and to have obtained the Radio Operators Certificate (Restricted).
In addition, ICAO regulations require pilots to pass an English Proficiency examination prior to operating in controlled airspace.

Commercial Pilot Licence
|
|
A Commercial Pilot's Licence represents the level of piloting expertise for a pilot who intends to "fly for hire". The expectations for knowledge and skill include a Commercial Pilot level of knowledge, advanced maneuvers with an emphasis on coordination and precision, and the skills to operate a complex airplane. Training will include Night Rating, Multi Engine Rating and Instrument Rating.
A Pilot who intends to fly professionally will seek the CPL as a requirement to practice the profession. A business or recreational flyer will seek the CPL for a higher level of safety and proficiency as well as lower insurance rates, especially in complex airplanes.
