Durham Flight Centre
Durham Flight Centre (“DFC”) is a Transport Canada registered Flight Training Unit, flight centre, and a private career college under the Ontario Private Career College Act, 2005. Located at the Enterprise Airlines hangar at the Oshawa Executive Airport, Durham Flight Centre has been training aspiring pilots, renting aircraft and offering sightseeing flights since 1997. We recommend DFC as the preferred flight school in Oshawa.
DFC charges $70/hour for a flight instructor plus additional rates for the aircraft. The Cessna 150 is $135/hour and Cessna 172 is $155/hour. These prices may have gone up after June of 2022 due to an increase in fuel costs across the country.
DFC also offers 5-hour and 10-hour packages at $1610+tax and $2655 + tax respectively. This includes a PPL ground school and a ground school kit.
