Overview & Rates
Air-Hart Aviation has developed a unique syllabus to help you towards your goal. As a Canadian company, we realize the need for competent 'bush pilots' as well as future airlines pilots. The airline industry is always keen to hire competent young pilots. Their hiring practicies are cyclical and it is unlikely that all commercial pilots will have the opportunity to move into the right-hand seat of an airline partner. Charter companies are often an option, and because of their varied assignments, they appreciate a more well-rounded background. Some pilots wish to experience the thrill of bush flying and may wish to stay within this branch of aviation. Air-Hart Aviation will help you through your decision process. Everybody has certain talents that need to be built on, and through our one-on-one teaching methods, we are able to advise you regarding your future. Flexibility and change form the basis of competent aviators.
