The Sky Life Aviation is a Transport Canada certified flight school operated by a qualified and fully licensed instructor. Jim Davidson is a high-hour trike pilot with extensive experience flying in all seasons around the Quinte Region.
Our Trike is from the respected Ultralight aircraft manufacturer, Antares. It is one of the most reliable, stable, rugged and fun Ultralight aircraft in the world. Our model features tandem seating where the student is seated behind the instructor. It is very similar to riding a motorcycle in the sky! With dual controls, our aircraft can be flown from either the front or rear seats. It also features the equally rugged North Wing strutted wing.
If, after your discovery flight, you decide that Trike flying interests you, we can start booking flight lessons. Transport Canada specifies that you have at least 10 hours of in-flight instruction (includes some solo time) and 20 hours of Ground School to receive your Pilot Permit Ultralight Aeroplane. Typically however students will require about 20 or more hours of flight instruction.
