Harv's Air Service began in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, and has been in continuous operation since 1972,
growing to be the leading flight training school in Canada. In 2005, Harv's Air expanded to an additional location in
St. Andrews Manitoba.

Harv's Air offers a large and diversified fleet, pilots can be assured of aircraft availability and variety. Operating a
mixed fleet of Cessna 152’s, Cessna 172’s, Citabria, Piper Warrior, Piper Seminole, Travelair, Extra 300 and
Diamond DA 40. Flight Training Devices are also available to students, including a full motion VFR and IFR

Our flight instructors and staff are fully qualified and dedicated to making your flight training the most fulfilling,
enjoyable experience possible. We staff several Pilot Examiners ensuring the highest standard of flight training
possible and quick access to the flight test.

How do I start? Contact us to schedule a tour of the school and a Discovery flight. A Discovery flight is the first
flying lesson that will show you what learning to fly is like, without having to commit to the course.

Flight Training Commencement: Flight Training can begin generally at any time, it is at the students pace and
convenience. Since flying is one-on-one with your instructor in the airplane or flight training device, you simply
make a schedule with them that will work for both of you. Ideally, contact the school well in advance to when you
want to start so that you can get your preferred time. After your first few lessons, you and your instructor will book
in your schedule.
Ground school options: Our online ground school (www.pilottraining.ca) is the most popular method of
completing the ground school lessons. We also run classroom ground schools based on demand.

Medical: To complete the licence and fly solo you'll need an aviation medical test done by a doctor approved by
Transport Canada. Try and book your aviation medical at least 4 weeks prior to starting your flight training. In
Winnipeg Dr. Fogel ((204) 783-7070) does many of our Aviation medicals. Check out a list in your area from the TC
website.

Transport Canada has standards & requirements for licences and ratings that must be met in order to issue the
licence or rating. The costs in our package for the licences and ratings are based on the minimum requirements as
set by Transport Canada.
Total cost for the training will vary depending on each individual as students progress at varying learning rates,
frequency of lessons also effects overall progress and costs.

Payment options? Payment can be made by cash, visa, Mastercard, and debit card. Payment is expected before
flight and may be paid as training progresses. Cost subject to change without notice.

We hope this information package answers many of your questions regarding flight training, should you
have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
