Become A Pilot.
Most people have
at one time or another dreamed about learning to fly. They also assume
that it is too difficult or demanding for them to accomplish. This
could not be further from the truth. Learning to fly is one of the
most challenging and rewarding activities around. Students range
from fifteen to sixty five years of age and everything in between.
Everyone has their own reason to learn to fly, whether for a challenge,
to fulfill a life-long dream, or to help get from "A" to "B".
To help you
in the decision to learn to fly, we recommend a special Familiarization
Flight. The purpose of the Familiarization Flight is to
let you experience the sensations of flight, and to allow you to take control
of the aircraft under the supervision of an instructor. This package
consists of a pre-flight briefing, a half hour flight and a post flight
review. After this flight you will know if learning to fly is for
you.
The Familiarization Flight is made available to the prospective
student for the great price of only $35.00! In addition, the
flight time counts toward the issue of your pilot's license.
What Licenses Are Available to Me?
Once you have made your decision to pursue flying you
have two choices as to the qualifications you wish to achieve. The
first choice, the Private Pilot License awards you the most privileges,
and also requires more extensive training. It allows the pilot and
passengers to fly anywhere by day. It will also allow you to add
endorsements and ratings to your qualifications such as the night endorsement
or multi-engine rating.
The alternative to the Private Pilot License is the Recreational
Pilot Permit. The Recreational Pilot Permit allow the pilot and ONE
passenger to fly anywhere in Canada by day. This permit does not
allow for the addition of ratings or endorsements. It is possible
however to upgrade the Recreation Pilot Permit to a Private Pilot License
by meeting the requirements for that license.
Pilot training involves two main components. For the Private Pilot License, Transport Canada requires 40 hours of Ground School. This training covers such areas as Theory of Flight, meteorology, engines and airframes and Air Regulations, and is designed to prepare you for the written examination required for the issue of the Private Pilot License. Adler Aviation conducts a continuous ground school throughout the year, right on the premises. This allows you to start anytime, and simply catch up on what you missed in subsequent ground school sessions. Your initial ground school tuition allows you sit in on all subsequent ground school at no extra cost. The issue of a Recreation Pilot Permit does not require ground school although it does require the completion of a Transport Canada written Examination.
The second component of flight training is the actual in-aircraft instruction. This training can be accomplished before, during or after the ground school component. Flight training consists of dual instruction (flying with an instructor), and solo practice. Unlike ground school, flight training is paid for as you fly; so you don't have to pay a large lump sum when you begin. The time frame for the completion of the training is totally up to you, depending on the frequency you want to fly. We recommend a minimum commitment of once a week in order to minimize the need for review. At the completion of your Private or Recreational flight training you will complete a Flight Test conducted by a Transport Canada Approved Flight Test Examiner.

Private
Pilot License Requirements.
For the career minded pilot wishing to fly for reward or hire, Adler Aviation offers Commercial Pilot Training. At the completion of your Private Pilot License you may immediately start building your experience toward the issue of the Commercial License. In addition to more dual and solo experience, there is also a requirement for 40 more hours of ground school as well as another written and flight test. The total cost will vary with the individual but 200 hours of flying time is required, with 100 hours of that as pilot in command.
Commercial Pilot License Requirements .
At the completion of your Private Pilot License you may choose to add a Night Endorsement. The night endorsement offers a chance to experience the pleasures of flying after many other pilots have called it a day. The training also incorporates advanced instrument skills and radio navigation. This training is part of the Commercial Pilot Course.
Night Endorsement Requirements.
This endorsement allows a Private Pilot to fly over the clouds in certain weather conditions. The Commercial Pilot License includes this privilege.
VFR Over-The-Top Requirements.
After successful completion of your Commercial Pilot License, we recommend the addition of a Class IV Instructor Rating. Considered the best way to build experience toward a flying career, the Instructor Rating allows the commercial pilot to work at a flight school as a flying instructor.

Another great way to sharpen a Private Pilot's skills, or a necessity for the airline bound commercial pilot, the Multi-Engine Rating allows a licensed pilot to fly an aircraft with more than one engine. There are no minimum hour requirements or written examination for the issue of the rating but there is a flight test.
Completion of an Instrument Rating will allow a Private or Commercial Pilot to fly in weather that would severely limit most pilots. One of the most challenging flying programs, the Instrument Rating expands your knowledge of weather and radio navigation. There is both a flight test and written examination for the issue of an Instrument Rating.
