ABOUT US

Committed to Your Future

HISTORY

Founded in 1999 SATC quickly became the certified vocational institute of choice for all flying enthusiasts in the Calgary area. We set about to create an opportunity for like minded thinkers to pursue their aviation dreams. Today, we continue to build on our students’ success through a commitment to improving and updating the resources available to them.

SATC is more than just a flight school. Our passion for aviation drives us to share that passion with our students, providing them with an experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives. We provide safe, professional flight training in an enthusiastic and fun learning environment.

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.

OUR FLEET

CESSNA 172

Proven Reliability.

The Cessna 172 is the most popular training aircraft in the world. Its stable and forgiving design makes it an ideal platform for flight training. Our 9 C172s are a combination of N and P models.

CESSNA 182

Further, Faster.

Our Cessna 182 is a perfect transition aircraft from the smaller C172 to the larger PA34 and beyond. In addition, it comes loaded with features. The 230HP engine takes you where you want to go, with a balance of speed and efficiency. Inside, the aircraft features a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit and autopilot, making this aircraft ideal for Instrument training.
