How the flight training works with Diamond Flight Centre London
Our program includes the option to complete a Canadian Private and Commercial Pilot's License, including night, instrument and multi-engine ratings. Graduates can seek opportunities in varied aviation flight operations and business ventures. The flight training is delivered by Diamond Flight Centre London, located at the London International Airport.
Commercial Flight and Aviation admission requirements can be found here, however, students enrolled in the program will also be required to meet the DFC London professional pilot program requirements to begin flight training:
You must have achieved a minimum education standard of high school graduation;
Suggested to complete a minimum of 0.5 dual hours flight training experience (introductory flight);
Category 1 Aviation Medical is required;
Students may be required to complete a formal Aviation Language Proficiency test if English is not their first language. An Aviation English preparation course is offered to help students improve their language skills for success in the program and industry.
Costs
The tuition and fees for this program are calculated in two parts: academic (Fanshawe) and flight training (DFC London). The Fanshawe costs are eligible for OSAP funding, however, the DFC London flight training is not.
The current total estimated cost of the flying portion of the Fanshawe Aviation Program is $70,555.00 + HST (total cost including HST is $79,727.15 CAD).
Flying is paid in $9,000 instalments every September 1st, January 1st and May 1st over the course of the three years and instalments are adjusted based on the actual rate the student completes the training (if a student requires additional training over and above the allotted time, the student must pay for that training).
Students can expect to fly approximately 205 hours in aircraft and 55 hours in a Transport Canada-approved flight training device (FTD).
If a student withdraws from the flying program, any balance remaining in their account will be refunded.
Ancillary Fees:
The total estimated cost of ancillary fees is $2,945.00 + HST and includes:
Books and supplies
Flight Test fees
Transport Canada examination fees
Transport Canada licence application fees
The average cost per year for ancillary fees is $1,000.00 + HST.
* Please note: It is recommended to purchase an iPad mini for this program. An iPad mini is the ideal size to fit in typical flight bags. The iPad is used as an EFB (electronic flight bag) which allows students to download flight documents throughout their training.
