Flight Academy

In addition to the flight school, Brandon airport serves military, commercial jets, medevac, ag planes and helicopters on a regular basis. The control tower and commercial length runway offer a great learning experience, while the low but diverse traffic ensures students have the time to learn safely.

2. COST EFFICIENT LEARNING

As a not for profit training centre, our training rates are extremely competitive. With the practice area close by and no delays on the ground or in the air you receive the most efficient educational environment possible.

3. EXCELLENT WEATHER

Statistics prove that southern Manitoba has excellent weather and terrain for conducting VFR flight training. When bad weather does come we maximize your time by working with you on the ground or in our simulator to keep you moving forward.

4. A FULL SERVICE OPERATION

Brandon Flight Centre offers a continuous open enrollment allowing you to start when you are ready. Additionally, with the small student to instructor ratio and a low airport traffic, accelerated learning is possible because you set the schedule that works for you. After more than 85 years of operation, we know how to get you flying!

5. THE ATMOSPHERE

Our vibrant and enthusiastic team are here to see you succeed. We offer a fun, relaxed and supportive environment where you will make connections that will last for the rest of your life. Because you are a member of Brandon Flying Club you will have unlimited opportunities to network and help forge the future you want. Come say hi, grab a cup of coffee and chat airplanes, today!
