Sean Larkin Promoted to Captain

There was celebration at the Larkin house last week in response to the news that Sean Larkin was promoted to Captain of the Piper Navajo PA-31-350 Chieftain with Canadian Air Charters.  Sean has been with CAC since September of 2006, and his flying duties have primarily be centered around moving time-sensitive cargo between Vancouver International Airport and airports in the B. C. interior and up the coast.  Sean’s check flight occurred last Thursday during flights between Vancouver, Kamloops and Williams Lake with CAC Chief Pilot Darcy Coonfer. 

Sean’s Captain’s ride came 9 years, to the day, after his First Solo Flight at Langley Airport.

Sean began his pilot training with Langley Flying School as a Pilot Summer Camp student back in 1997. Continuing with his training part-time while a high school student, Sean went on to complete his Private Pilot Licence in November of 2000. Sean became a Commercial Pilot in June of 2004, and subsequently qualified for his Group 1 (Multi-engine) Instrument Rating in April of 2004.  He worked briefly as a First Officer with Nav Air prior to moving to CAC.
