Went for a discovery flight, flight for my oldest. The staff was amazing, super welcoming. Showed us around and explained different programs. Lots of knowledgeable folks working or just hanging out.
My experience with the instructors and aircraft have always been fantastic. The opposite can be said for the front of house / admin. I am always left feeling ignored, unwanted, and belittled while I wait to garnish their attention away from their own personal conversations. Yes, I have waited at the counter for 10+ minutes without anyone checking in one me. It doesn't seem like they receive any training for client relations. There is also a person who works at the front who drives a vehicle with pornographic stickers on it, not really the message I would want to associate with a professional flight school or families.
To summarize, great place if you can make it through the admins!
Had the best discovery flight.
If you have ever had the interest in flying a plane you should book one right away! Flying all around downtown Victoria and then back up the Malahat Inlet on a beautiful sunny day was a dream come true!
Bait and Switch with Discovery Flight
I was very disappointed at the unprofessional behavior my friend I had to endure with Victoria Flying Club. We went to an open house on September 18th and booked two Discovery Flights for 125. We went there for the flights on October 2nd, and after the flights we get the bill for 300. Person at the counter then starts explaining that the discounted rate was only for the open house day. No one told anything about this when we were booking the flights or before we went for the discovery.
Anyhow, this incident basically puts Victoria Flying Club in the list of organizations I would never do business with. Such cheap tactics like this makes organizations a non-trustworthy.
BTW, The trainers were very nice and also, I was planning to start my flying classes from Oct 23rd, but dropped it after this incident
Well organized training facility with aircraft available for rental. Maintenance facilities and limited aircraft parking. Restaurant in same building; limited hours.
There is a very experienced inventory of instructors both groundschool and flight. Classroom facilities are adequate to complete the syllabus. The C172s are well used but well maintained.
Pilot lounge and flight planning area. Good Wi-Fi. Aircraft tie downs available for transient aircraft.
