Training Programs

Private Pilot License

A Private Pilot Licence (PPL) offers the freedom, flexibility, and independence to control your own travel, whether for business or pleasure. It is a prerequisite for the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).

Commercial Pilot License

The Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) is the beginning of an exciting career that can take you around the world or to your backyard adventure. This licence may be obtained once the Private Pilot Licence is completed.

Multi-Engine Rating

The Multi-Engine Rating allows you to fly an aircraft with two or more engines. This Rating is part of the Integrated program and is required for most aviation careers.

Instrument Rating

The Instrument Rating enables pilots to fly aircraft in poor weather conditions where instrument reference is required. GFT offers a Recurrent Instrument Training Program for those pilots that require renewal or have let their instrument rating lapse.

Flight Instructor Rating

Becoming a Flight Instructor provides an opportunity for rewards beyond just employment. Airlines often hire pilots with flight instructor experience with the aim of advancing them into company training positions.

Recreational Pilot Permit

The Recreational Pilot Permit (RPP) is the most economical means for someone to enjoy the thrills of flying for recreational purposes. It can also be used as a step to becoming a Private Pilot.

Night Rating & VFR OTT

The Night Rating allows the pilot to fly at night in visual weather conditions. The VFR Over-The-Top Rating allows the pilot to fly over the top of a layer of cloud without visual reference to the ground as long as prescribed weather criteria are met.
