Meilleurs écoles de pilotage à Montreal : trouvez des options près de chez vous

Une magnifique expérience qui était une belle surprise !!
Un grand merci à Gaëtan et Anatole pour ce vol rassurant, la superbe vue de Montréal dans haut est magique.
Juste grandiose, tout était parfait je vous le conseille grandement.

Огромное спасибо Helicraft за потрясающий Монреаль тур. Вы лучшие! Однозначно стоит посетить и посмотреть с высоты эту красоту.

Really great experience. It was a quick 25-30 min, but very cool. My wife and I went during the F1 Grand Prix weekend and were lucky enough to time the flight during practice 3, so we flew over the long straights while drivers brushed by the wall of champions below.

Very nice staff! Would recommend.

Magnifique expérience offerte en cadeau à mon conjoint. Service et encadrement des employés qui donnent un service clientèle vraiment exceptionnel ! Je recommande cette expérience fortement ! Merci Alexis pour les belles photos !

Super accueil par des professionnels faisant partager leurs expériences , connaissances des lieux survolés ! Nous avons passé un magnifique moment , inoubliable ! Un grand merci ☀️je recommande sans la moindre réserve

That was one of the most beautiful and memorable helicopter rides we’ve had. From the super friendly introduction, a coffee, safety briefing, and an exceptional flight and pilot.
One great experience. Thank you!

Nous avons adoré notre expérience, c’était fabuleux notre pilote était vraiment génial Nous y retourneros assurément

My 1 hour Discovery Package was a Christmas gift from my two kids, who were able to join me and watch from the back of the simulator. Our instructor pilot walked out to greet exactly on time. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide through the experience. The panoramic view out the window of this A320 simulator makes it quite immersive. Despite the fact the simulator doesn’t move, you absolutely get the impression of motion! I had a great time and now the kids want their turn!

My parents gifted this opportunity to my boys, they both love planes. Amine who is studying to be a pilot, was great and involved the whole family in asking questions. We had a great time flying from airports that we have seen in real life. This is an experience for anyone who is remotely interested in flying!

Super belle activité, très éducative et hors de l’ordinaire. J’avais Amine comme instructeur, c’est beaucoup plus intéressant de lui donner des défis de pilotage que d’essayer de le faire moi même! Demandez lui d’essayer la manœuvre du légendaire commandant Robert Piché aux Açores…

Le pilot a une excellente pédagogie.
Mon garçon l’a grandement apprécié.
L’endroit est correct mais l’activité est vraiment bonne.
Je recommande fortement !

Cet un endroit parfait pour vivre cette expérience. Le pilote était vraiment professionnel et très agréable à côtoyer. Le simulateur c’est un vrai cockpit d’Airbus 320. Je vais y retourner assurément. Je le recommande à tout le monde

I had a wonderful time at the controls of the Airbus 320. My pilot was very nice, he made us experience many different scenarios and let me take off and land from my favorite airports. My wife was with me and she enjoyed it as well. I’d recommend this activity to everyone

Nous avons fait l’expérience en duo et avons beaucoup aimé! En plus de pouvoir manipuler le simulateur (ce qui est déjà très cool!) les pilotes qui nous guidaient tout au long de l’expérience était vraiment intéressants. Clairement des passionnées, ils étaient très éloquents et nous avons appris beaucoup sur le pilotage d’avion en plus d’avoir le plaisir de piloter nous-même.

Je recommande!

Très bonne école ! Si t’aimes l’aviation, tu vas vraiment aimer étudier ici. Les profs sont passionnés et ça paraît qu’ils aiment enseigner. Les clubs étudiants sont super actifs et il y a plein d’activités. Les installations et les avions sont bien entretenus, ce qui rend les cours pratiques encore plus intéressants.

Went to the Aérosalon 2024 this year, and it was fabulous. The air show snd pilots as well as the exhibitions are really great.

I would recommend that organizers set up more water refill fountains, maybe a «cool zone’ with water misters and perhaps some scattered tents for shade as the spectator stands are under the blaring sun and the hangars are far away.

We also had to line up and walk about a km standing in the sun waiting for transfer busses, which was tough.

J’aimerais vraiment faire carrière dans l’aerotechnique mais malheureusement les conditions m’ont orienté vers le domaine de l’électricité.

La plus belle et le plus grand mauvais service au monde : racisme, mensonge, etc. L’agent de sécurité d’origine arabe m’a interdit l’accès lorsque je suis venu récupérer ma femme. Il ne m’a pas informé de l’option de paiement, un service que je ne connaissais pas. Pourtant, d’autres personnes ont été autorisées à entrer devant moi, sans problème. Le chef de sécurité, présent sur les lieux, n’a rien fait pour intervenir, il était contant de son équipe.

Great but no shade to eat during the air show

C est vraiment un band de clown. Zero rigueur.

The recent air show organized by l’ENA is an evidence of carelessness to people’s lives! When the planes has passed probably 100 meters over the tops of houses with horrible noise.
Have you dare to guarantee that the accident is not happened, and the people and their children who stayed at home during your show would be in a full security?
I guess not.
So please next time, try to think about other people, not just about your customers from whom you have your profits. And ask the pilots do their maneuvers over the open area and fields, and not over the people’s houses.

Je viens de conclure ma formation chez Drone Académie pour les opérations de vol avancées, et je suis bien heureux de l’avoir faite chez eux ! En effet, les cours sont super bien structurés, clairs et précis. À aucun moment je n’étais perdu, et Simon (le propriétaire de l’école) est super gentil et patient d’avoir répondu à mes questions lorsque je préparais mes examens. Je recommande à 1000 %, et si c’était à refaire, je n’hésiterais pas à reprendre ma formation chez Drone Académie. 🙂

I enrolled in the «Flight Review» which included the Flight Review Preparation course. The entire process was very polished and professional. Logistics, course content, evaluation criteria and links to resources were all very clear, concise and complete. The actual review was very well executed, Simon’s calm, friendly and professional disposition enabled me to focus for the potentially stressful review. I am very happy to have selected Drone Academie.

J’ai eu une excellente expérience avec Drone Académie. Simon s’est distingué par sa disponibilité, sa réactivité et ses explications toujours claires. La vidéo de préparation était très claire et utile. Serge L. a fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme, de patience, de bienveillance et d’une capacité à rendre l’apprentissage motivant et accessible. Je recommande vivement cette académie !

GREAT!! Had my first Drone lesson with Simon. Flying is much more difficult than the photography. We went through the technical details before flying. Simon is thorough and very cautious. He taught me flying exercises and how to maneuver the drone properly. I highly recommend him!!!

J’ai suivi le cours pour les opérations avancées. Il est super bien fait : le contenu est très clair et bien expliqué. Mon instructeur pour la révision en vol (François) a été super! Je recommande à 100%!

Je peux que recommander Drône Académie! De la première prise de contact avec Simon en passant par la structure de la formation théorique et la pratique pour Opérations avancées. La théorie est clairement expliquée ainsi que le RAC à suivre selon les différents cas. Finalement, j’ai suivi la révision en vol et réussi l’examen pratique pour les Opérations avancées. Mon formateur et examinateur Serge L., est une personne passionnée avec beaucoup de savoir-faire et il transmet sa passion avec aisance afin de mettre l’élève-pilote en confiance pour l’examen pratique. Bravo et merci à l’équipe de Drône Académie pour ces belles formations!

I had my advanced flight review with Francois. The course notes provided with the exam purchase made it clear what the expectations were. The flight review was both thorough and enjoyable. Thanks Francois!

I love this place beautiful car fun to ride i whil do it 1million time and for a photographer like me it’s amazing this place everyone gentle and the personal are so funny thanks for this amazing experience I whil recommend once in your life for shure thanks so mutch

J’ai fait l’expérience 60 tours, 1/2 journée bien remplis avec des gens passionné. Une vrai immersion de le monde de la course et le plaisir de piloter ces bolides est une chance unique. Mon fils m’a accompagné et il a pu faire des tours de piste comme passager avec nul autre que Andrew Ranger!!!
Une expérience à refaire.

Une expérience incroyable avec une équipe en feu. On a fait la formule 60 tours qui est vraiment celle à essayer pour tout les passionnés de sport auto. C’est juste magique de ce retrouver au volant de véritable voiture de nascar qui ont roulé en course. Un encadrement très professionnel et à l’écoute. On est vraiment en confiance total. On augmente les Rpm à chaque sessions de 20 tours et on découvre des sensations différentes sur le tri-ovale de Sanair. Bref je que peut vous encourager à venir passer un moment inoubliable a l’école de stock car Cabana. Petit bonus, on avait la présence d’Andrew Ranger avec nous et c’est pas rien de voir évoluer un pilote de NASCAR professionnel.

Bravo à l’équipe ! C’est vraiment une expérience à vivre !! Un super service, des gens souriant ! Les formateurs sont géniaux ! On a fait les tours de stock-car mon chum a conduit et moi je me suis fait conduire !!! Tout un trip!!!!

Expérience unique. Mathieu est un très bon formateur. Une ambiance décontractée, amusante et sécuritaire. Je vous suggère minimum 6 tours de pistes pour vraiment savourer le moment. À voir!

C est la 2e fois que je vis cette expérience en piste pour un 60 tours
Toujours des plus enivrants, c est vraiment pas cher pour conduire une voiture NASCAR seul sur la piste à près de 160 km/h.
Un gros Merci à toute l équipe a commencer par Chantal qui est toujours là pour nous guider dans le de forfait à choisir.
Un merci spécial à Andrew qui m a permis de changer de voiture et réaliser que je encore pouvais aller vite au point de prendre un tour au plus lent et terminer la séance en avant avec le 97.

je reviens chaque année et c’est toujours aussi cool. Qu’une seule chose à dire à l’année prochaine

Great experience so far, joined the school to finish my CPL after moving to montreal. Staff is really nice, especially chief Mohammed and madam Bassima. Students and instructors at the school are friendly and social so it’s fun to be around the school. My instructor Anes helped me a lot in my training and i cant wait to finish with SHFS and move on to finish my ME and IFR there

Great school! They have flexible schedules and great instructors, mine is Darugar,. Planes are safe and overall really nice place to get your license. Big fan of their tomato chips:)

Un excellent service. L’instructeur Edouard est tellement passionné et attentionné. Il a rendu cet expérience des plus merveilleuses. Un cadeau de fête des plus réussis !

Best school! I completed my PPL and CPL here and am currently working on my IFR and Multi-Engine ratings. I couldn’t feel safer or happier with my training experience. The instructors are professional, supportive, and truly care about your success. Highly recommended for anyone serious about aviation.

One of the best decisions I’ve made.

I completed my PPL here through their modular training path and couldn’t have asked for a better environment to learn in. My instructor, Florian Stache, was absolutely phenomenal – incredibly sharp, patient, and fully invested in helping you improve with every flight.

Scheduling was very smooth the whole way through. Planes were available when I needed them, which helped me keep up momentum and stay consistent with my progress.

Special mention to the chief instructor, Mohammed Hamdi. He doesn’t just want you to pass a flight test, he wants to shape you into the kind of pilot who actually thinks, stays ahead of the plane, and can handle the unexpected. His focus is on building solid airmanship and judgment, not just teaching book knowledge.

Safety, safety, safety – huge priority here compared to other schools + how tightly strictly everything is run. The aircraft are maintained really well, and there’s a clear standard that everyone is held to. It’s a close knit family environment where they really take care of students than just a commercial enterprise where they just take your money.

If you’re serious about learning to fly the right way, this is the place!

Wowww vraiment j’ai vraiment vécu l’expérience de ma vie avec comme prof Nicolas je suis arrivé stressé mais il sait comment rassurer et calmer le stress!!! Il prend le temps de bien expliquer et de nous mettre bien alaise Je recommande fortement cette école ❤️
Merci à Nicolas ce fut une expérience inoubliable!!!

Great experience as pilot for a day, learned alot. Nicolas was a great instructor, and sparked an interest in pursuing it further.

J’ai adoré, le simulateur aide vraiment a bien comprendre les manipulations, la prise en main de l’avion c’est juste le fun a 1000% c’est a faire absolument, moment de pure plaisir, et Antoine l’instructeur de vol est au top il explique tout et il te laisse vraiment prendre part à l’expérience au max, un grand merci je reviendrais avec plaisir ‍✈️ ️

They have so many students but not enough planes. As a student good luck with booking a plane for your XC flight it is an absolute nightmare which will cause an enormous delay in your training.

HEADS UP to everyone who looking for the great school to take a fast track to become an airline pilot, This school just got benefits a reputation of having partner with Jazz Aviation, No body get hired after graduation, best case scenario you will spend 30,000$ more to become a flight instructor and after few years maybe get an interview, which most instructors who have been working here for more than 3 years haven’t been even selected into the Jazz, school doesn’t want you to know because you won’t choose them. however the main issue with this school is lack of responsibility and horrible management, they only care is just about money and take advantage of their name to receive SOO MANNNYYY students (pilot factory , just enquire how many classes they have going on) , every 4 month they receive 4 new class (2 AEC and 2 DEC) , and the issue who comes with it : they don’t have enough facilities and plane to accommodate these students, you can see their current airplanes schedule, always there are 10 out 20 planes not available, they are grounded and they don’t hire more maintenance technicians to repairs and inspect in a timely manner, so as a result it created chaos between students and instructor we have to fight with each other to book a plane, most student I see haven’t got their PPL after a year into the IATPL program, they charged us over 400 hours of useless ground just for PPL, which they charge hourly rate of 75$, you can judge and make a decision by just look at their ground course materials and look at their poorly organized slids ( just compare it with other online ground schools and do your research) which you barley learn from them and you ended up take a online ground school as a side to learn and prepare for written exams. if you care about your money , time, and energy make a great CROSS on this school. thank me later.

Excellent école de pilotage. Les instructeurs sont compétents et très bien formé. Vous avez un simulateur des plus performants pour vos pratiques intérieur et d’excellent avions à votre disposition pour votre formation. Que ce soit pour le cours de pilote privé ou commercial, je vous recommande cet école

This school definitly bit more than it can chew. Hundreds of students and only few planes on service. What is worse is that they are always advertising to look for new students even though they already struggle with the ones enrolled. Almost no student finishes his training on time !

J’ai choisi le forfait «Pilote d’un jour» et ça vaut VRAIMENT la peine. Incluant:
– Cours théorique simple et pratique.
– Simulateur de vol impressionnant et ultra réaliste.
– Scéance de vol spectaculaire où j’ai décolé et piloté la majorité du temps moi-même. J’avais 2 invités avec moi sans frais supplémentaires. Nous avons même eu la chance de voler au-dessus des nuages vu que le plafond était bas.
À faire absolument au moins une fois dans sa vie! Merci à Nicolas pour le cours et toutes les petites attention. À une prochaine fois!

Sécurité propre poli. Belle expérience

Expérience extraordinaire !

Je recommande sans hésitation l’expérience » Pilote d’un jour » chez Cargair.
Toute l’équipe est d’une sympathie incroyable, avec un accueil chaleureux du début à la fin.

Les instructeurs sont professionnels, passionnés et savent créer une ambiance de confiance qui met à l’aise, même pour une première fois aux commandes.

Une journée mémorable, pleine d’émotions et de découvertes. Merci à toute l’équipe pour ce moment inoubliable !
Denis

Awesome Experience on riding and Really I enjoyed with my friends entire view of Montreal and Canada view. price ok licensed trainer available you can accommodate pilot and co pilot and rear two more passenger. Almost 1.5 hours total trip. co pilot have a opportunity to drive air craft right and left turn.looping etc..I am recommended every one visit this place.on summer time. Different types of aero system available.

J’ai effectué le vol Pilote d’un jour avec l’instructeur Thomas.
Rien à dire. Le vol s’est très bien passé. Thomas m’a expliqué chacune des étapes du vol, du décollage à l’atterrissage. Il a pris le temps de répondre à toutes mes questions, de prendre quelques photos pendant que j’étais aux commandes et même d’effectuer une petite acrobatie.
Je recommande absolument !

This was a gift to my son, a one-hour behind the controls of a cesna, the briefing was appropriate, the welcoming has good, the instructor was great and the plane was very well maintained. Overall experience according to my son was excellent.

Super expérience que j’ai vécu aujourd’hui ! Mon baptême de l’air à eu lieu avec Mathieu. Très bel accueil au dispatch, instructeur super calme qui explique parfaitement comment se déroulera le vol ✈️ Rien n’est laissé au hasard, belle petite routine de préparation avant de décoller, vol sans embûches ! J’ai adoré je donnes donne 5 belles étoiles

The company requires a minimum deposit of $1,000 just to fly, but they don’t clearly disclose that there’s a $250 fee for any personal withdrawals. This fee is hidden in the fine print of the documents you sign. They also add on multiple small fees that chip away at your balance over time. Overall, it feels like a money grab with unclear and questionable account practices. When I finish my PPL in the future I don’t think I would return to do flights here.

Je ne pensais pas qu’aller faire un tour en avion et de le PILOTER était possible!! Merci à l’équipe de Cargair et surtout à mes amis qui m’ont offert le forfait pilote d’un jour! Un très beau souvenir de l’été 2023 <3

If you have time to kill and money to throw away then I highly recommend taking the one and only English course that this extremely disorganized school has to offer «Structural Assembly».
You will spend 9 months, being told that it’s a field that is «high in demand» however BE WARNED, if you want to work for Airbus or Bombardier this is NOT the course.
Airbus recruits directly from Mirabel’s school, and Bombardier recruits only the French class.
You will be told that you have the «freedom» & choice to work & apply anywhere but there aren’t many other options unless you take a mechanics course.
If you have sense, do not enroll for an English class given at a French school because the joke will be on you!

C’est toute une école qui donne des expériences unique chaque jour et qui permet de te dépasser comme tu ne l’as pas imaginer, en y mettant l’envie nécessaire tout le monde peut réussir. Les professeurs sont de vrais passionnés qui te le démontre tout au long de l’année et te donne envie de continuer. Merci encore à l’EMAM et particulièrement à Étienne pour leurs engagements tout au long du parcours

Thank you David for your guidance, support, and patience throughout my training at EMAM. I’ve learned so much from you, and your dedication has truly inspired me. I appreciate everything you’ve done to help me grow in this field.

Im currently going to this school, im in a french class but prefer to write in English. (Even if u chose a to be in an english grp. None of the teachers properly speak it) Dont go to this school, 90% of the staff is racist, high ego, disrespectful, rude its even worse if your not white. Specially the two ladies the secretary (melanie) and the other student help lady (annie). Ive caught them sharing personal info about students, saying questionable things about other students and trying to ease drop into any conversation a non-white grp of people are having. Whats even worse some teachers (alain) wont try to help you if your another skin colour and will act like you dont exist even though your only asking them for help. Some of the students that now work for Bombardier told me some pretty awful things that happened to them at l’EMAM. Im not the only student that feels this way. It’s not motivating coming to school. Or else the things you’re learning itself are pretty interesting. Honestly worst part of this school is Melanie and i think her name is annie.

我在这个学校毕业的，老师很和蔼

I took this school for over 10 years as an aircraft structural assembler. What I don’t like about it was for numerous reasons:

– schedules not well-organized
– Foul-mouthed teachers
– practical training and skills not completely covered
– fellow students’ misconduct
– No graduation ceremony

This is why I haven’t received the DEP for this after my completion of the work stage. So, please don’t choose this school.

Un bel accompagnement a été fait lors du programme, l’école s’adapte a beaucoup de situations en même temps et offre un bel avenir a ces élèves les difficultés présenté lors du programme sont surmontables et le staff aide les élèves dans toute sorte de situation

Sorry, long review
I attended the academy in 2019, and if there’s one key takeaway, it’s this: it’s all about preparation.

Prepare yourself for a path full of challenges. Come to class prepared, have your charts and navigation ready for the next day’s flight, study hard for your written exams, and always complete what your instructor asks. Success here demands commitment and discipline.

Throughout Canada, students often share two common limitations: weather delays and aircraft maintenance. These are realities of flight training—largely out of anyone’s control. Many students get frustrated with delays in their progress, and I understand why. I know some who completed their training in 18 months, while others, like myself, took longer due to personal and financial circumstances.

In my case, I had to pause my training, but the management truly supported me—they even allowed me to complete my flight tests without paying the remaining tuition fees upfront. That kind of support is rare and deeply appreciated.

My advice to new students: always be prepared. If you’re not satisfied with your instructor, it’s okay—you can switch. Focus on what you can control. Don’t let external factors like weather or maintenance shake your motivation.

This academy remains one of the top flight schools in Montreal. They have a solid fleet of about 12 aircraft and a dedicated team that’s continuously improving.

If you’re serious about becoming a pilot, this is a great place to start—but be ready to put in the work.

If you want your destiny delayed this is the school for you. People studying medicine will graduate before you get your license flying with this school. All they care about is the money, you will have to figure out the flying yourself.

If you’re still in doubt that all they care about is your money. Examine the reviews and see how the only people they respond to are potential new students(clients) and inquires that will potentially put more money in their pockets. Please I can’t stress this enough. Never pay upfront for a flight school. Wait till you have enough money then find somewhere you can pay by the hour .

I graduated from the academy of aeronautics with cpl, multi-engine and ifr rated licenses. My studies took me a bit longer as you have the opportunity to work part time while you study and after graduation get a work permit and be fortunate to have a status in Canada.
The academy allowed me to expand my knowledge beyond aviation with plenty of discipline, patience and environment which allowed to become a better pilot.

I was able to complete CPL training accompanied with very well prepared instructors that helped me not only for the practical training but also guided me to become a better person.

Best flight training center ever!: Class experienced flight instructors, high standard aviation school programs, airplanes, simulators all I needed to succeed my commercial pilot licence.
I want to thank the management and the instructors for their support during my studies.
I Highly recommend the Academy of Aeronautics. This Academy is the Aerospace institute for the serious future airline pilots and professionals of the aeronautics industry. Big Thank you to all the staff of the Financial Assistance department.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this flight school, and I urge everyone to avoid it at all costs. From the beginning, they demanded a large upfront payment instead of allowing me to pay by the hour for my flights. Once they had my money, my flying time drastically decreased—they canceled flights for the silliest reasons and gave priority to instructors and other students in supposedly «more important phases» of their training.

All the students at this school are painfully aware they’ve been scammed, especially international students who are trapped because the school controls their documentation. Despite starting my instructor rating in September 2023, by April 2024, I had a total of ZERO flight hours. It’s baffling how this school is still operational. They will scam you and make your life miserable. Save yourself the trouble and find a more reputable flight school.

If I could put zero starts I would they don’t even deserve a single star unbelievable

For the size of the school, I think that Academy of Aeronautics does really well. Obviously in any flight school, there is always room for improvement but the Academy recognizes that and continues to grow.

The learning environment is exceptional. There is a great team of instructors and a very strong support system between the students.

The team at the office does everything they can to facilitate a smooth and enjoyable training process.

The school is very flexible when it comes to finance and scheduling especially with the growing numbers of students.

Overall, I think that it has its ups and downs but remains to be competitive.
