Within the flight-training program there are options for obtaining a recreational, private and commercial pilot license. There are also options for night, instrument and float ratings. The Brampton Flight College is an integral part of BFC and permits career minded students to receive specific industry training towards possibilities as a commercial pilot. Equipment BFC owns and operates twenty-one aircraft in support of its flight training programs. There is single engine, 2-seater aircraft like the Cessna 152. There is also single engine, 4-seater such as the Cessna 172. There is also one Piper Super Cub, which is also single engine, 2-seater but has a tail wheel configuration whereas all of the others are tricycle gear. The two 4-seater twin aircraft are primarily used for advanced commercial training and charter. BFC has 2 Flight Training Devices (Simulators). The Frasca is an enclosed cockpit Flight Training Device (FTD) with a 170 degree wrap around visual system. Though this unit is fixed it induces a feeling of flight through the wrap around visuals.
