From its inception, the major objective of the Kingston Flying Club has been
the advancement of aviation through flight training. Having trained WW II
pilots through to current CF-18 pilots, the Club has distinguished itself as
South-eastern Ontario's premier commercial flight training centre for over
70 years.
As a "not for profit" corporation, all revenues are invested back into the
Club. This allows club members to fly at the lowest possible cost and with
the best equipment. The Club presently operates two Cessna 172 single
engine, 150 horsepower, 4-seat aircraft. This fleet represents the industries most
preferred aircraft for aviation training due to their proven reliability,
safe handling characteristics and excellent safety record. Aircraft are
fully IFR equipped, including one with a fully IFR certified Garmin GNS 430W
fully integrated GPS nav/comm with WAAS augmentation. Members of the
Kingston Flying Club are entitled to use the Club facilities and aircraft,
and to participate in the Club social activities.
The Kingston Airport and surrounding district provide an ideal facility for
pilot training. The low traffic volume and the proximity of good training
areas make for little wasted time during the training process. Also four
runways and four approaches provide a diverse and dynamic training
environment from ab initio to advanced commercial training.
