Canadian Flight Centre is committed to provide the highest quality of Flight Instruction, Aerial Work and Air Taxi operations, and to do so operating in a safe and neighbourly manner.

1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All aircraft avoid overflight of noise-sensitive areas, unless unable due to operational/safety considerations, or as directed by ATC.
