I asked for more ground school and was told.'no because too much ground school will look bad on my record'. I asked for better service meaning simply finish my training and I was made to feel like I did something wrong. I finally bought a plane and got my training privately. I think they just want the BCIT students who may not complain about poor service. Also I had asked management for more private ground school on multiple occasions and was simply ignored. I would never treat my clients this way.

My son and I took a flight with Lou this afternoon in the Piper. We are both novice pilots and…read moreoften take "discovery flights" when traveling. It gives us the chance to spend some time in the air and learn the area in a unique way. We took off from Friday Harbor, and flew to Orcas Island and back. Lou is a terrific pilot and instructor, and the Piper is a terrific aircraft. We had great visibility and the trip was smooth. It was a wonderful few hours. Next up, the biplane!

This morning while eating breakfast, my husband saw a flyer for AeroClassic. We called to see if…read morethey could fit us in and Lou was wonderful about setting up a 2pm flight for us. We arrived a little early, the building is extremely easy to find and it gave us time to gaze at the airfield and a couple little planes. When Lou arrived he was super friendly and went over the plan for our Introductory Flight for Two. As I have never flown before he gave me a short explanation of aerodynamics and how to use the rudders to turn the plane (very useful information once we got into the sky!). Lou was an amazing teacher in the air and let me guide the plane and decide where to go in that time period. When my time was up, we landed on Orcas Island to switch pilots and let my husband fly. Lou was a great teacher, he was very patient and kind. After this amazing experience with Lou; both my husband and I want to take private pilot lessons, we only wish that Lou was closer to be our teacher!

They have no limitations on how many students they enroll in the school. Money talks for them!…read more The ground school has too many students over the limit with some having to sit in the middle of walkways with no table They have few instructors which you'll have to wait for 1-3 months in waiting list to hire Once you're assigned an instructor you won't be able to book classes for 1 month because they have so many other students who already booked them fully You're going to pay your hard earned money and time, I don't believe it's fair to you to put yourself in this school Look for a school with more instructors, smaller classes and more free time. They should be after you as you're paying them not the other way around. You'll get to finish the process way faster and save money that way I wished someone told me this before I started here. If you're a student at PPFC, a victim of this problem and agree with this please share the message across. They need to change the way they operate!

I 100% agree with the previous review. These people are absolutely deplorable. HORRIBLE customer…read moreservice!!! The staff there do the minimum possible. All they want to do is book as many students as possible. 0 quality control or sense of responsibility to students. The management staff (I dealt with a woman named Shannon) will tell you everything you want to hear. She even goes as far as to say that they will help you find jobs after you finish training. This is a lie. In fact, once you sign up and are giving them your money, they will have absolutely zero interest in helping you with anything. This is a VERY unprofessional organization and I suggest anyone reading this to stay away. PS; the owner (John Montgomery) is a smooth talking little man that tries to charm people. Do not be fooled. STAY AWAY!

Everyone at BC Helicopters was so accommodating with my special helicopter request. BC Helicopters is safe and reliable. These guys are professionals. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Our pilot Sancho is amazing. He personally helped me with my proposal to my girlfriend. He went above and beyond to make sure my crazy proposal plan went so smooth. I was impressed with everything from booking the tour, the helicopter ride itself, and Sancho going out of his way to provide the most exemplary service possible. Pitt River hot springs is an absolutely stunning location. The whole scene felt like out of a fairytale. I am now happily married and we have BC Helicopters to thank for the wonderful experience and magical memories.
