About the Club
The Vancouver Private Flying Club is a club for anyone that shares a passion for flying. Whether you are an active pilot, former pilot, aspiring pilot or non-pilot - if you love to fly, want to learn more about flying, talk about flying and want to promote flying, we welcome you to join us.
Our goal is to share the joy of private flying at an affordable cost and above all, safely!
Block time fees collected are not for profit purpose but for cost sharing the operation of the aircraft, including general maintenance, insurance, fuel, annual inspection and hangarage.
Safety is our number one priority and we take maintenance of our aircraft seriously. Our aircraft is maintained/serviced by an AMO - Safari Express Aircraft Maintenance Ltd., which is conveniently located just opposite our club hangar.
