Candidates must be 16 years of age for the issuance of a Recreational Pilot Permit; however they may begin at the age of 14.
The candidate will also be required to complete a minimum of a Category 4 medical approved by Transport Canada.
The recreational permit is for those of you looking to fly for leisure. It will allow you to fly during the day only and with only one passenger on board.

There are a lot of specialized operations out there flying in fascinating, remote
parts of the world; doing interesting things with air planes. I love what I do for a
living; really... It has been, and still is an incredible adventure! And I certainly
won't ever forget that it all started in Moncton.

From my first step inside dispatch, to my first ground school class through to my
first flight at MFC, something just clicked & I knew that this was world-class
training. The facilities & staff at MFC really were the deciding factor in my
decision to pursue a career as a professional pilot.
Thanks for your interest in training with MFC Training – let's get flying!
