Greetings,

I'm seeking initial training on the Cessna Caravan. I have a potential gig overseas so ideally I'd like to get checked out while in Canada since it would probably work out to be more cost efficient. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Thanks! Very familiar with all 3 however was hoping to seek training here in Canada.

Sorry if this sounds silly but could you not just look up airports that have caravans operating and call the company and ask if they know where to go for instruction? Buttonville got any? etc.

Depends on what you need. If you just need PCC, you have to find a company in Canada and pay them to teach you. If you need a PPC(for single pilot IFR), I would go to Flight Safety Wichita cause you need 6 hours of sim. In any way, you have to find a company in Canada in order to get trained and get a check ride done. There are no flight training units in Canada that can give you initial training.

Maybe try survey or skydiving companies. They aren't as busy now.
