In a short span, McGill Students' Flying Club has become one of Canada’s largest student-run aviation organizations. Operating from McGill University in Montreal, McGill Students' Flying Club provides a platform for its members to engage in flight training and other aviation-related activities. Our mission is to promote aviation and aerospace fields and foster a growing community of pilots and aviation enthusiasts.

In partnership with ALM Par Avion, we offer Private Pilot Licence
ground school right at McGill, on downtown campus. All McGill
community can enjoy the ground school at a cost much lower than
market price. The courses will prepare you for
everything found on Transport Canada's exams.
Our partnership ensures a smooth experience for both aspiring
and current pilots looking for flight training.
We provide countless opportunities for aviation enthusiasts of every level to take part in activities. From flying airplanes to jumping out of airplanes, we have something to offer everyone who is looking to explore their passion for aviation. Our team members can help you find a local flight school for a fun flight over the downtown area, or to help you on your way to a license.
Beyond our activities and events, we are a place of assembly for all members of the aviation community. This is a place for aviation enthusiasts to meet industry professional; a place for aircraft mechanics to meet commercial pilots; a place to find others that share your passion.
The Pilot-for-A-Day event allows aspiring pilots to experience the wonders of flying for an affordable price. Even if you do not intend to pursue a pilot's license, a beautiful flight over downtown is a fun activity for all. In fact, we receive many requests from people wanting a surprise birthday gift for their partners!
