    My wife bought me a 1-hour simulator session through uFly and I had a chance to experience it this past weekend. It was an absolute blast!!! The flight instructor; Luigi is an awesome guy and made the experience incredibly memorable for both of us. I reserved my simulator session for 3pm this past Saturday. They asked us to arrive 10 minutes early, but we arrived right on the dot at 3pm due to traffic. It wasn't an issue and within minutes we were sitting in front of the cockpit. Once Luigi learned that I was already a licensed pilot, he skipped the standard briefing and we went right to flying the airplane! He explained all new computer-systems of the 777. I asked him if I could fly the simulator without the auto-throttles or help of an autopilot (what's the fun of using one?!) and he was surprised. Apparently, no one flies without the auto throttles (it's a simulator, why the heck not?!), but we did and it was a blast. I also asked him to shut down one of the engines after take off so I could simulate engine-out landings. Very fun! I recommend this as an activity for anyone interested in airplanes. 1-hour is short and goes by quick between the briefings, taxiing, etc. I recommend longer if you can! I hope you get Luigi as your flight instructor because he was amazing!

    This experience is based on a CMYE with a brief introduction of what uFly Simulator offers. The most fun experience of course was having some hands on time flying flight simulator modeled after the B 777-200ER. The experience was really realistic and interesting. There are also stations for more basic flying simulations and even a dog flight top gun style simulator. The staff here is all really nice and patience. Yes one do need a lot of patience to guide me through some of the landing process. Check for specials on their website and even groupon for deals. Great experience for anyone that curious about aviation.

    Took a one-hour flight. Absolutely amazing experience. My instructor was very helpful and professional. He walked through all the steps in an easy-to-understand and follow manner. I booked a session at 2:30pm and I was asked to arrive 15 mins early so that I can get registered and buckled in at right time. The experience involved two take offs and landings at Pearson on two different runways under two weather conditions-one was under clear skies on a sunny day and the second was under thunderstorm. It helped to know the importance of trusting your instrument panel and not visual clues. 1 hour driving feels like a long time but 1 hour flight time flew past me quickly(pun intended!) All in all, very positive experience. Highly recommended.

    I booked a 1 hour sightseeing flight for 2 people with Canadian Flyers Inc. out of the…read moreToronto/Markham Airport and had a fantastic time! The place hardy looks like an airport at all; the bumpy country lane off of HWY 48 leads to a dirt parking lot with an office that is a portable with a wooden porch and a fat wary-looking tabby. The washroom is in another portable with boarded up windows; I made the mistake of letting the door close behind me and was left in pitch darkness, it was pretty creepy until I turned the lights on. I only saw a men's washroom sign and was happy to use that toilet (with the permanently raised seat) rather than risking opening the other unmarked doors. But enough about the washroom. There are a number of old military planes on the property and we learned that the airport owner also holds a museum license so he is able to display some interesting aircraft. Once our rickety ride got off the ground it was pretty cool. Our pilot/instructor was Chang and he was very genuine and laid back. We enjoyed how he let us pick the route and was easy going about the whole thing. He pointed out landmarks to us and let my husband fly for most of the time. It is clear Chang loves what he does. The only thing that would have made this a 5/5 would have been price; over the phone we were quoted $220 for the ride and ended up paying $242 because were were out for a little over an hour but seeing as how that is in the pilot's control I think they just need to make sure the expectations are set out at the beginning and then make sure that is what the customer receives. I would certainly recommend an outting for sightseeing or lessons for the budding pilot. They also do charters so if you want to show up at your friend's cottage in style head up to the Toronto/Markham Airport for your own private flight!

    Full disclosure: I'm a member and you can be too!…read more This place is too much of an awesome secret to not put on Yelp for those interested in aviation as a hobby or career. Short of owning your own aircraft, this is the most affordable way to learn to fly or if you're already a pilot --- the most accessible and inexpensive way to rent an aircraft. The WNYFC (Western New York Flying Club) is a not-for-profit corporation whose goal it is to make flying as accessible as possible. It works like this: you pay around $105/mo and you get access to 3 aircraft. You also need to pay a one-time joining fee of $600 (if you're a student pilot, you start with $350 and then pay the remainder of the balance once you get your ticket). They give you the keys to the aircraft and you can sign them out on your own accord by reserving them via an online system. All 3 aircraft are Piper low-wing planes. One is reserved for students to train on and the other two are for pilot's who already have their ticket. They can cruise a little faster and are a little more comfortable. It's too bad they don't currently have a high-wing airplane or anything with a variable-pitch propeller for faster cruising, but hopefully in the future they will at least add a Cessna (the web site is incorrect currently which lists 4 airplanes, but the Cessna is RIP). Rental fees are based on tach hours, not hobbs time which basically means that you won't be paying rental fees while the airplane is taxiing -- only measured by the RPMs of the engine. You're responsible for putting the plane away, taking it out and you're basically a co-owner of these planes while you're a member of the club. The fees you pay are what it costs to maintain them. This means that you can show up on work nights, help change the oil and learn a little bit about aircraft maintenance while connecting with other pilots. You're also responsible for wiping the bugs off and taking pristine care of the aircraft while you fly. As part of the club, there are currently three active CFI's who give lessons to students at $50/hour. There is Bob Smith (my instructor) who is a CFII and is certified to give you instrument training, Jeff Carrick who is a CFI and John J (who is also a CFII). I've reviewed my instructor separately if you're curious. In summary, if you're looking to learn to fly or are an active pilot who flies at least 3-4x a month, the flying club makes financial sense. You save a lot in renting fees and the process of taking an aircraft is easy as pie. You can even take one out for 7-days once a year if you want to fly somewhere for an extended period of time. If you fly for 5-8 hours, but take the aircraft out for 7 days...you'll only be charged for those hours spent flying and there are no fees for taking the aircraft out of service. You're only allowed to take it out for 7-days once a year without the board's approval, but if weekend trips to nearby towns are your thing, you're free to reserve the plane for a weekend as many times as you want. Cool club -- I'm grateful we have something like this in service in WNY.

    At the beginning of April, I made the decision to pursue a private pilot license. I love traveling…read moreand I figured that having the certificate would allow me to access destinations in a shorter period of time and combine my love for adventure and freedom as well as test my resolve and commitment to a new and arduous hobby. Every spare weekend and evening that I've had has been dedicated to flight training at the Lancaster Airport with my trusty instructor, Bob Smith (Robert C Smith). I found him through the Western New York Flying Club, which is a non-profit flying club whose goal is to make flying affordable and accessible to all. For $100/month, which covers insurance and maintenance of the planes -- you get to access their fleet of four airplanes practically at-cost for what it would cost you to own them yourself. You're basically a co-owner of these planes, along with all the other club members. The result? Much cheaper flying and instruction. As part of the club, there are a few CFIs -- those with a certified flying instructor rating who can help you on your journey to get your license. Bob Smith is one of those. A retired guy who has saved my life in the process of training, now...on at least on a few occasions. What I love about Bob is that he will let you make mistakes pretty ruthlessly as you learn to fly (it is a part of the process!), but he always keeps you safe as he's able to judge very accurately those moments when it's absolutely necessary to recover from that mistake. The result? Fast-paced learning. I've logged about 12 hours of flight time with Bob so far and last week celebrated a milestone of my first landing where he didn't manipulate the flight controls at all. No, it wasn't exactly a solo flight, but he didn't touch a thing. I was super proud of that and I'm grateful to have Bob as my instructor. His rate is $50/hour and you must belong to the club in order to access the trainer (unless you have access to a plane of your own), but joining is pretty simple and painless. It will save you lots of money in the long run as opposed to going to a traditional flight school. Another plus? It's super flexible as opposed to a flight school. He's available most weekends and you can schedule a few lessons at your schedule's convenience. I wish Bob would utilize a syllabus a bit more. The lessons feel a bit unstructured at times, but they do all come together. At first I was worried that "I wasn't learning," but after completing that "unassisted" landing in a Cessna 172, I'm 100% singing my praises for Bob. If you're considering pursuing a pilot's license, definitely look into him as one of your options!
