Nanaimo Flight Center

Nanaimo Flight Center opened in September, 2003 as a satellite of Courtenay Flight Center, in response to an invitation from Nanaimo Flying Club. The members wanted an affiliation with an established Training Unit to provide high-quality training in comfortable, well-maintained aircraft. The spacious "upstairs office" was made available for this purpose, and the school began. Members responded immediately, several getting recurrency check-outs, as well as training for a Private License. A Ground School course will begin in January '04 and plans are being made to offer Transport Canada approved courses to meet the two-year recurrency training requirement.

The instructor is Mike Beasley, who is a graduate of the Air Cadet Glider and Power Scholarship programs, and Okanagan University College Aviation Diploma Program. An experienced instructor, Mike brings skill, knowledge, and enthusiasm to the school, and is prepared to work fully with each student to help them achieve their goals.

The Flight Center is taking steps to achieve its own Operating Certificate, and we fully expect that the relationship with the Club and the community will be long and pleasant, and we look forward to being a part of their future.
