How to get your pilot's license
Learning to fly is exciting and surprisingly easy to learn. While thousands of pilots around the world fly strictly for fun, many choose to fly for a living. Pacific Flying Club graduates are flying for airlines such as Buffalo Airways, Air Canada, West Jet, Sun Wing, Pacific Coastal Airlines, Central Mountain Air, Cathay Pacific and other airlines, companies, and corporations around the world.
Cessna 172 is one of the most successful and widely produced aircraft in aviation history
One of the key features of the Cessna 172 is its high-wing design, which provides excellent visibility from the cockpit.

The aircraft also has a spacious cabin and comfortable seating, which can accommodate up to four passengers.
