ATTENDANCE
To reap the full benefit of their courses, students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes and flight lessons. Aviation training is very demanding and students who have a job in addition to attending Aviation training are advised to consider taking a reduced course load.
Instructors take attendance into account when assessing student performance. Students sponsored by such agencies as Canada Employment Centre and Student Finance Board are required to attend all classes and flight lessons.
Students unable to give 24 hours notice of being unable to make a flight lesson will be assessed a “NO SHOW” fee of $55 per lesson missed. This fee may be waived by the Chief Flight Instructor under extenuating circumstances.
All Groundschool classes must be attended by all students in order to obtain a letter of recommendation for the final written examination. Students that have missed a class must notify the instructor, and get the required material to make up the class.
RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Any interference on the part of a student with the personal liberty of another or any conduct that subjects another person to any indignity or personal violence is forbidden. This includes harassment, sexual harassment, initiation ceremonies or any activity involving physical violence, hazing, personal indignity, or the destruction of personal or institutional property.
