Become a pilot
…AS A CAREER CHOICE
For the individual who wishes to become a pilot as a career professional, flying an aircraft is one of the best jobs in the world. To become a professional, the student will have to follow a commercial pilot training with a multiengine and instrument ratings. There are several ways of getting your commercial pilot licence. This training lasts 12 to 18 months. Once this training is completed, the student, now a commercial pilot, will have the opportunity if he or she so desire, to follow an additional Flight instructor training in order to work at Air Richelieu as an instructor. This is a traditional way of building up your experience to ultimately being recruited by other airlines (Charter flights, bush operators or regional carriers…).
Air Richelieu is the only accredited flight training center in the world to deliver both Canadian and American licences at the same time, under the same roof.
