Answer 1

Hi,

I don't have first hand experience with either of those schools however I did fly with a couple of pilots who went through MItchinson's and enjoyed it. I have not heard bad things about either though. (Although, doing some research I noticed that there was a Millenium Aviation in BC that has had some bad feedback - but this is a different company - just something to keep in mind when searching the net).

Both schools are eligible for the Saskachewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology Commercial Pilot Program http://www.siastpilots.ca/index.shtml and both are part of the Saskatchewan Aviation Council which offers a couple scholarships http://www.saskaviationcouncil.ca/

What I'd recommend is to go for an intro flight at both schools. Talk to the different instructors and staff and see which one you prefer. If there are students around, talk to them and see what they think. AvCanada - http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/ may have pepole who have first hand experience with these schools, although when doing a search I wasn't able to find any comments about Millennium in Saskatoon.

I think both would be good schools, it just depends on which one you'd like.

Good Luck,

James Ball
