Successful completion of the Instructor Rating Program leads to eligibility for Class IV Instructor Rating and the issuance of a Certificate of Qualification—Instructor Rating from Langley Flying School, Inc.  The holder of a Class IV Instructor Rating may exercise the privileges of a Flight Instructor in accordance with

Prerequisites

Before commencing training in the Instructor Rating Program, a student requires:

• A valid Commercial or Airline Transport Pilot Licence—Aeroplane Category;
• A valid Category 1 Medical Certificate;
• Not less than 20 hours instrument time, at least 10 hours of which must be instrument flight time.

In accordance with the requirements established by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency, entrance into this program requires the completion of Grade 12 (or equivalent) or candidates must qualify as a mature student (age 19 and not having attended school full-time for 52 weeks).

Course Costs

The following are the minimum costs (effective July 18, 2011) are based on Transport Canada’s minimum requirements

 

 

Costs include all fuel costs and use of pilot headsets. Langley Flying School does not employ a fuel surcharge fee system.

 

All flight schools in British Columbia providing both Private Pilot and Commercial Pilot flight training are required by law to charge the Harmonized Sales Tax, and the HST (12%) is therefore applicable to all training.  Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Debit Cards are accepted

Aircraft rates may be subject to change with minimal notice, depending on such things, for example, as fluctuating aviation fuel prices.

Transport Canada establishes the minimum requirements for the Flight Instructor Rating as follows:

• Students require 25 hours of ground instruction which includes the following instruction:
• Practical application of the basic principles of learning and techniques of instruction;
• Preparation and use of lesson plans;
• Procedures for planning and presenting preparatory ground instruction, pre-flight briefings, in-flight instruction, and post-flight debriefings;
• Theory of flight required to teach the air exercises;
• Aircraft flight manuals and aircraft operating limits;
• Presentation of pilot decision-making concepts; and
• The use of the Transport Canada Flight Instructor Guide, Flight Training Manual, and applicable Flight Test Guides.
• Students require 30 hours of dual flight instruction focusing on overall pilot proficiency and the presentation of all exercises contained in the Flight Instructor Guide, of which not less than 5 hours must be training in the teaching of instrument flight skills.
• Knowledge is demonstrated by obtaining not less than 70% in a written examination on aeroplane administration, instructor general knowledge, theory of flight, aircraft instruments, instrument indications, radio navigational techniques, and instrument instruction techniques (AIRAF).
• Prior to writing the Transport Canada examinations, all of the groundschool requirements must be completed, as well as 50% of the flight training requirements.
• Students must also successfully complete an Instructor Rating Flight Test and meet the Instructor Competency Assessment Standards for a Class IV.
