Best flight school I've known ever, appreciate my instructor, Shirley Lau, for teaching me!
I improved my flying skill and learned a lot Multi Engine & IFR knowledge from her.
Excel owns a lot of Pipers, they always have plane available for students. Easy booking = Fast pace learning! They keeps their planes in excellent condition, Instructors, CFI, FBO are super friendly. Great learning environment! Definitely recommend to all who'd like to become a pilot!

Iv’e started and finished my PPL in BC, completed half of my CPL in Winnipeg, and the biggest regret I have is not having met the two sooner! Shirley is the most dedicated, talented and patient teacher I have ever met. Shirley was as Invested into my training as much as I was and she treated every minute of the flight as an opportunity to learn and practice something. I wish I can be better with words but I will forever remember Shirley, Roland and EWC for the rest of my flying career!

Roland the Owner and Shirley the Operations manager are extremely professional and knowledgeable in all things Aviation. Their aircraft always have great availability and are expertly maintained by a Commercial Aviation Maintenance Organization. I moved to Lethbridge from Calgary just so I could attend this flight school as all the flight schools in the Calgary area have years long waiting lists. I was able to go from 0 to Commercial Pilot very rapidly. I would go back in a heart beat.

I did my PPL, CPL, and Multi IFR at Excel, moved from Calgary to Lethbridge and it was absolutely worth it.

These are the reasons that you should start your flight training at Excel:
1: Great team, caring and experienced instructors
2: well maintained aircrafts, I cannot stress this enough
3: significantly more affordable compared to other flight schools
4: Recognized by the government for student loans.
5: low wait time on the ground, compared to other airports in the region you will get a lot more air time for the money you pay.

I completed my CPL multi-IFR here I would say it is the best place I have been in learning fly. everybody here is friendly and helpful. from the instructor to the AMEs, From the FSS to the ramp workers. You will never regret your choice here. The owner here is a Transport Canada examiner as well. So that you don’t need to worry about your quality of instructions. The airport itself has two crossing runways, Equipped with every instrument approach you need to learn. A FSS station in location means you can learn how to talk with ATC’s without busy traffic situations.

Writing this with some bias but Excel Flight Training is exactly what you want in a flight school. Completed my commercial license here and became an instructor afterwards. Roland and his staff were always kind, knowledgeable, fun, and they really want to help you succeed. Cannot say enough good things as it has to be the number one place to train in Alberta.
