Flight Training at Coastal Pacific Aviation
1983: Coastal Pacific
played a major role in developing a professional pilot
program as part of the curriculum offered by UCFV. The
program was developed as a two year diploma in Commercial
Aviation, with the student emerging with 12 university
transferable courses, plus a Commercial pilot's license with
multi-engine and instrument ratings. Students with previous
post secondary education can choose as one year diploma
program with the same aviation component as the two year
program. The BBA (Aviation) prepares a professional pilot with the background to address general education requirements and the ability to assume management responsibilities in the aviation industry. In addition to the joint programs offered with UCFV, Coastal Pacific's affiliate company, CP Advanced Flight, provides individuals, carriers and corporations with training programs for turbine transition training and more specifically, Beach King Air operations. Having defined its role in pilot training within Canada, Coastal Pacific turned to the Pacific Rim and the international training market and has since trained students from Korea and Japan. Coastal Pacific is a member in good standing of the Aerospace industries Association and the Airline Transport Association of Canada and Sheila Whittaker, Coastal Pacific's Vice President of School Operations, is the current Chairman of the British Columbia Aviation Council.
