The school operates a fleet of training aircraft manufactured in London, Ontario by Diamond Aircraft Industries. These aircraft feature glass cockpit avionics, similar to those found in current turboprop and jet aircraft. Facilities listed include flight simulation devices (FTD and ATD), a single-engine aircraft fleet, and a multi-engine aircraft fleet.
The school offers Transport Canada-approved flight training devices, and training on them can be logged in a pilot logbook. The Private Pilot Licence ground school requires a minimum of 40 hours and must be completed before a Private Pilot Licence can be issued at the end of flight training. Flight lessons are two hours long from start to finish. The school recommends flying at least twice per week to minimize review time and finish training in a reasonable time.
A Category 3 aviation medical is sufficient for recreational flying, while a Category 1 Aviation Medical is required to work as a commercial pilot. The school is not currently accepting public students due to current flight school demand. General enrolment steps include an introductory flight, an aviation medical, PPL ground school, and flying lessons.
