St. Catharines Flying Club

The St. Catharines Flying Club is a flight training unit at Niagara District Airport in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. The site says the club formed in May 1928 and received its charter in May 1929. It describes itself as one of the oldest flying clubs in Canada. It is a non-profit organization.

The club is a certified flight training unit registered with Transport Canada. It teaches students for the recreational pilot permit, private pilot licence and commercial pilot licence. It also offers instrument, night, instructor and over-the-top ratings. The site says the club is registered as an Ontario Career College for instructor and commercial pilot training.

The club has flight instructors of several classes, from Class 1 to Class 4. The site says the club also has its own Transport Canada examiner on staff. The site says the examiner keeps the instructors current. Students can take a familiarization flight before they commit to training.

Ground school runs all year. The classes are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm to 10pm. The online ground school is taught by a Transport Canada examiner. The site says it suits students who live far away, and it can be used to review missed classes.

The club also does charters and sightseeing tours. The site says guests can see the Niagara region from the air in one of the club airplanes. Students may also take cross-country trips across Canada and the United States, including to Sun 'n Fun in Florida.

The site says the Niagara region is suitable for year-round flight training. The club's office is at 468 Niagara Stone Rd. The phone number is 905.684.9447. The hours on the site change by season, so check before visiting.
