Aquila Aviation

During my training at Aquila, all the staff were very professional. They never focus on making money but instead want the best for all their students. The aircraft are very well maintained, and newer than other schools' aircraft providing a peace of mind. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and always have answers to questions. If I had to do my training all over again, I would do it at Aquila.

I am a student at Aquila Aviation. I just finished my first solo flight last week. I have to say that I had the best experience ever with this school. The instructors are very knowledgeable and professional. The school’s first priority is always its students. For all the efforts that they have put into me, Thank you, Aquila.

July 2022 I had my introduction to aviation with a Discovery Flight at Aquila. 10 months later I acquired a passing grade on my Check-ride for a PPL. Without a doubt the best accomplishment and experience I could have ever asked for! They are a fantastic school with knowledgeable and friendly instructors. I would recommend them to anyone interested in a pursuit of an aviation career or learning to fly for fun (5⭐️)

Aquila Aviation in Abbotsford, BC is one-of-a-kind activity you can do to enjoy the experience being in a small plane and observing the nature in a different way. The owner is a very nice gentleman. The location was easy to find and the young pilot is super talented. Did I mention SAFETY check, Pre-flight walkaround, Ground briefing, and the opportunity to handle the aircraft!! What? Yes, I helped to take off the airplane. Check it out guys!

I am a student at Aquila, and I have to say, it is by far my favorite flight school that I have ever flown at! The instructors all know me very well, and the atmosphere is very friendly and encouraging. The airplanes are very well maintained, and safety is taken very seriously. I am finishing up my CPL, and my training has gone very fast, because the instructors always explain everything very well, and there is always plenty of airplane availability. The scheduling is flexible, and pretty much any time I want to fly, they make it happen. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for an intensive and friendly experience!

The communication before and after was very professional. The (mountain flying) checkout instructor built on existing capabilities and didn’t waste time. The return leg was used to practice navigation and approach techniques which was again time well spent. I highly recommend Aquila.

Fantastic learning environment staffed by high quality instructors. The aircraft they fly are newer than most flying schools in Canada.As a student with deadlines they’ve been very accommodating to help me meet my goals, and do so without wasting extra time or money.

I am a student pilot in the US and was in Abbotsford for work. Since I was staying near the airport I thought why not see if I could get a flight before I left. Reza, owner of Aquila Aviation made it happen. We took his Cessna 172S to the sky. Reza was relaxed and gave calm instruction when needed. We did a scenic tour around the beautiful scenery. It was breathtaking. I had a blast. Whether you are looking for a scenic flight or student pilot training Aquila Aviation is the place to go. Finding a confident, knowledgeable CFI who is excited about aviation who isn’t going to leave you for the airliners is not easy to find and that is what Reza offers at Aquila Aviation. Thank you, Reza for squeezing me in and making my trip to BC amazing!

Very amazing experience. Beautiful views and memories I will never forget. I felt very safe at all times, and got to appreciate the land around me. I very much recommend trying this out!
