Spot Trackers

(0 comments)

We now have several spot trackers for use for students/customers when they go on cross countries. One of the neatest features of the spot trackers is that it communicates the position of the airplane every 10 minutes, leaving a near real time “bread crumb” trail. Check out what our pilots are doing by clicking here.

Flight Training Standards

(0 comments)

The last few years have seen Harv’s Air grow at an amazing rate. Since our expansion to St Andrews (Winnipeg) our flight hours have more than doubled. I am very grateful to our students who have made this possible. It has been exciting to see students move into commercial flying positions both in Canada and abroad. Countries like India and China have seen the need for pilots increase at an incredible rate.
