I moved to Calgary from Ottawa, motivated by the organized and professional atmosphere of CFC and disenchanted by my experience at previous flight schools. I completed my CPL, multi engine rating, Group 1 IFR and instructor rating here in under a year. I wouldn't change a thing. CFC is a well-oiled machine...they boast an older fleet of 172's but they are very well maintained and constantly flying, 2 Piper Seneca's to keep up with their multi and multi IFR demands, a Citabria, and an excellent range of instructors. One of my favourite features of the Club is their after-hours room! It remains open at night even when the regular facilities are closed, so pilots can have the space to flight plan and prepare for their night flights. I no longer work there but would recommend this place to anyone!
