AT SATC, WE ARE...

UNIQUE

Our scheduling department will help you optimize your schedule to assist in learning and life balance, all the while keeping you accountable to a reasonable completion date.

SAFE

Our sister company Cavalier Aviation ensures that the SATC fleet is maintained to the highest standard so that all you need to worry about is learning! To minimize disruption, all maintenance is scheduled strategically, keeping downtime to a minimum.

EFFICIENT

There are many systems in place behind the scenes to maximize efficiency. We own our own fuel tank and two fuel trucks, which go a long way in reducing turnaround times between flights and ensuring our students are in the air as much as possible.

CREDENTIALED

SATC is a licensed vocational school approved by Alberta Learning, that is committed to achieving and maintaining a high standard of flight training. This vocational license allows students holding a private pilot’s license to apply for government funding to help them cover the cost of training for their commercial pilot’s license. We are also certified to issue tuition tax credit receipts, allowing our students to claim tuition expenses on income tax returns.

Cessna Pilot Centre

Generations of pilots have chosen Cessna Pilot Centers because we offer the very best in flight training. We share your passion, and want to help you achieve your goals. Our fleet of instructional single-engine aircraft was specifically designed to take you from student to pilot, from the ground to the sky.

Did you know that CPC students who train with us earn their wings about 30 percent faster than the national average? We will get you where you want to go faster and safer than any other flight instruction program out there.

Angel Flight Alberta
Man Preparing to Fly a Plane
angel-flight-website-logo-gradient.png

Since 2006, Angel Flight Alberta volunteers have been providing no-cost flights to rural Albertans needing to get to and from medical appointments. Appointments are already stressful without worrying about travel, time off work, family logistics, and most common; expenses. By transporting patients to and from their appointments, often the same day, they enable patients to receive vital non-emergent medical care, that might otherwise be inaccessible due to financial, geographic, or medical limitations.

Springbank Air Training College is pleased to partner with Angel Flight Alberta by providing no-cost initial and annual checkouts to volunteer pilots in their own aircraft. Volunteers must come with the pilot assessment form completed. 


If you are an AFA pilot looking for a checkout, please contact our admin team and we will get you set up with one of our experienced instructors.
