First Solo!

A huge congratulations to Asia Duran on completing her first solo flight! This is a major milestone in every pilot’s journey and a moment that deserves to be celebrated.

We’re proud of the work you’ve put in, Asia. Congratulations from all of us at Durham Flight Centre!

Have questions about getting your pilot license?

We’ve been getting lots of questions about licenses, training requirements, costs and where to start. The best way to figure out what’s right for you is to **book an introductory flight** and experience it for yourself.

Our current introductory flight promotion includes:

Piper Arrow
20 minutes of ground briefing
40 minutes of flight time
$197 + HST

It’s a great opportunity to meet our team, get your questions answered and see what flight training at Durham Flight Centre is all about.
