Expand your horizons on our hour-long Introduction To Flight Experience. Under the watchful eye of our commercial pilots, you’ll learn the foundations of good aviation and practice the essential manoeuvres of flight from the exhilarating position of the co-pilot’s seat
As many of our guests will tell you, this is the perfect opportunity to tick learning how to fly a plane off your bucket list; and what better place to do it than amongst the spectacular coast mountains.
Rain, shine, or snow, this awesome flying experience runs all year-round and only requires one participant. All other sightseeing flights require two participants as a minimum.
Our pilots are passionate about British Columbia, Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver and the Sea To Sky Corridor. They love sharing what they know about the region’s legendary geology and history so we outfitted every seat with a two-way headset and microphone. Think of us like your best friend taking you on a road trip to all their favourite places. Listen to your pilot tell stories as you fly, ask questions about features and landmarks, or simply sit back and enjoy the view.
All of our planes have four seats. One for you, one for the pilot, and two in the back.
Our Share The Experience option allows you to bring along friends to fill these seats at a reduced rate of $75 each. Perfect if you’re buying the Introduction To Flight Experience as a gift for a birthday or special occasion. You get to come along, too. It’s a win win.
Before taking to the skies there are a few fundamentals that any want-to-be pilot needs to know including: the theory of lift, visual flight rules, how flaps help generate lift at slower speeds, how to read and understand the cockpit instrumentation, and what on Earth ailerons are! Then under the watchful guide of your pilot put your knowledge to practice in the skies above beautiful Squamish, British Columbia.
Known locally as The Chief, this world famous granite monolith is prized by climbers and hikers alike. Looming over downtown Squamish, it's the second largest granite monolith of its kind in the world. The Stawamus Chief is an outcrop of a much larger geological formation called the Coast Mountains Batholith which rose out of the ground between 170 and 50 million years ago.
