Many flight schools are located within control zones at busy airports. Students training at high density traffic airports often experience difficulty in continuity of flight training due to delays caused by traffic congestion, thus delaying their stay in the practice area. Such delays contribute to slow progress. Waiting for departure clearance and distance from the training area are some of the problems that the student and instructor are required to contend with in this kind of environment. Often students at these schools find themselves spending time and money, waiting for up to 10 minutes for their turn to take-off behind a long line of airplanes!! At Welland Aero Center this never happens. Located in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula, we are clear of any high-density traffic zones. This ensures that there is no waiting, and that you get the most actual training time in the airplane per flight.

This is not to say, however, that our graduates don’t have experience with busy airspace. We are located only minutes by air from both Canadian and American control zones. When the time is right, our students become very accustomed to flying in and out of busy airports, an essential for today’s commercial pilot.

Welland Aero Center is a flying school as opposed to a flying club. As such, we place great emphasis on the caliber of our equipment and instructors. It is our policy that our instructors take a personal interest in each and every one of their students. This makes learning to fly more enjoyable for the student.
