PFC FACILITIES
PFC provides numerous opportunities for the
students upon successful completion of the pilot training including
placement options, career tracking and guidance to ensure the
student is on the "fast track" to a long and successful career as a
professional pilot.
LOCATION
PFC IS located in the main terminal at
Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB), which goes from being 5th to 3rd
busiest airport in Canada, with only LB Pearson (Toronto) and
Vancouver Intl. ahead. Calgary Intl. Montreal Dorval, and Montreal
St. Hubert are usually on par with CZBB. There are over 100,000
circuits done here on an annual basis.
CZBB is located just South of Vancouver, BC.
From the airport, you can be downtown Vancouver within half an hour
by car or about 45 min by bus. It is right on the ocean with a
beautiful view and a lot of different terrain to fly around. We have
water, mountains, plains, plus International airports, uncontrolled
airports, and grass strips to fly to.
STAFF
PFC has qualified and well experienced 5
Certified Flight Instructors. They are backed by experienced
management staff to offer you a complete training.
GROUND SCHOOL
PFC uses the modern teaching aids and provide
top quality ground training and utilizes the Computer Based
Instruction program. This practical approach ensures that the
student gains a sound foundation of the theoretical material. This
is required to achieve a solid pass mark on the Transport Canada
written exams. Just as important, the student comes away with the
all important big picture and becomes a more complete pilot as a
result. Students from this class achieve marks well above the
national average.
AIRCRAFT
Superior performance, outstanding reliability,
and exceptional value have made the two-seat R22 the world's most
popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades. More than
3,600 R22 helicopters have been delivered to more than 60 countries
around the globe. The R22 holds major performance records in its
weight class including speed and distance.
The R22 is a classic example of design
excellence. No other helicopter in its class can match its speed,
reliability, affordable price, and low operating costs. The R22 has
fewer accidents due to aircraft or engine failure than other light
helicopters, and Robinson's commitment to the highest quality in
design, materials, and craftsmanship make it the enduring choice for
flight training, radio traffic watch, power line patrol, and other
applications that require performance, dependability, efficiency,
and easy maintenance
AIR FIELD
PFC operates from the Boundardary Bay Airport,
Delta. A well equipped modern Air Control Tower with VFR and IFR
facilities, 2 Runways all makes the training a complete one with the
experience of flying into an International Airport.

term housing for students.
