Reviews of Air Richelieu (University)

Otaku tv

What’s funny is that all the five stars reviews are the school instructors, this school is a joke. If you speak English stay away run the other way and save your money. I heard that this years English class of 5 students only 1 passed the ppl exam, while a 13 student French class all passed. Hahahaha. However if you want to learn in French this school is very good. Last year English class ppl all 8 failed 3 were kicked out of the ATPL and 5 got partial pass the SECOND time.

They are great and speaks English and French. I got engage after flying my first plane ride and the pilot ( Nicholas) helped my fiance by taking pictures. Thank you Nicholas for all the help.

moderate and ok for a flying school , including flexible booking of aircraft.

Most expensive school out of the 3 at CYHU. Their prices are high and never tell you where all your money's going. They only give out the prices and not the details. I've been trying to contact them to get a price breakdown and they never did. Always coming up with excuses. Avoid this school. They only want to make money.

Philippe Archambault

Great professional fbo with smooth booking, great and professional welcome, well maintained fleet. I flew on the cirrus sr22 with a great welcoming instructor, as I was traveling for business to Montreal. Highly recommend it!

sarah minckler

Instructors are knowledgeable, and very helpful. English instructors speak great english for both ground school instruction and in flight training. The fleet is large making it easy to get the required hours quickly and the school staff has been very accommodating for any issue I have had and always made sure I had the information I needed to succeed.

Marc Tourigny

(Translated) It was ok (Original) C'étais ok

Gabriel Heffes

Bad instructors and rude staff. Disorganized and would do little for your personal advance. Especially if you're an English speaker. Overall, not worth it.

Xavier Garneau

Called many times to get information about the school, rates and stuff to finish my cpl .Dispatch didn't want to help me over the phone. I left a message to someone that takes care of student questions and never got a call back , it's been months now

(Translated) It was an interesting and unforgettable experience (Original) C'est à été expérience intéressante et inoubliable

Worth every penny. No need to hassle for bookings, all done for you at Transport Canada (written and flights). The programs and training offered at Air Richelieu definitely give students a competitive edge when it comes time to applying for larger companies. The large healthy fleet, great instructors, and easy online portal to navigate through your progression makes AR an easy pick for me. I always get my questions answered on the admin side and I have been able to progress smoothly. Glad I chose the integrated ATPL program here. Highly recommend!

(Translated) I chose the "Pilot for a day" package and it is REALLY worth it. Including: - Simple and practical theoretical course. - Awesome and ultra realistic flight simulator. - Spectacular flight session where I took off and piloted most of the time myself. I had 2 guests with me at no additional cost. We even had the chance to fly above the clouds since the ceiling was low. Must do at least once in your life! Thanks to Nicolas for the lesson and all the little attention. See you later! (Original) J'ai choisi le forfait "Pilote d'un jour" et ça vaut VRAIMENT la peine. Incluant: - Cours théorique simple et pratique. - Simulateur de vol impressionnant et ultra réaliste. - Scéance de vol spectaculaire où j'ai décolé et piloté la majorité du temps moi-même. J'avais 2 invités avec moi sans frais supplémentaires. Nous avons même eu la chance de voler au-dessus des nuages vu que le plafond était bas. À faire absolument au moins une fois dans sa vie! Merci à Nicolas pour le cours et toutes les petites attention. À une prochaine fois!

Avoid this school, they tell you that you need 5 hours in a simulator as a transport Canada requirement but when I checked with a different school they said that's a lie. Air richelieu is only concerned with making money and squeezing the last penny off you. Nothing but a bunch of liars and money lovers. Stay Away.

Anthony Verreault

Definitely the most organised flight school I’ve ever seen. Instructors are always helpful and keep a smile on their face. The whole staff really works together to make a great learning environment. Would definitely recommend for students looking to pursue a career in aviation.

great atmosphere good people

Josee Lestage

(Translated) I took a city tour aboard a Cesna and I liked it so much that I decided to pay for the "pilot for a day" experience. I never thought I could fly a plane someday! It's really great as a sensation! I highly recommend everyone to live this adventure at least once in their life! I will also offer it to my brother for Christmas! Air Richelieu's premises are modern and clean, just like their planes. The staff is friendly and professional. (Original) J'ai fait un tour de ville à bord d'un Cesna et j'ai tellement aimé ça que j'ai décidé de me payer l'expérience "pilote d'un jour". Jamais je n'aurais cru pouvoir piloter un avion un jour! C'est vraiment formidable comme sensation! Je recommande fortement à tous de vivre au moins une fois dans leur vie cette aventure! Je vais d'ailleurs l'offrir à mon frère pour Noël! Les locaux d'Air Richelieu sont modernes et propres, tout comme leurs avions. Le personnel est sympathique et professionnel.

(Translated) If you want to make the ATPL integrate program look for another school. The program is very poorly organized and this school has no regard for the people who do it. (Original) Si vous voulez faire le programme ATPL intégrer chercher une autre école. Le programme est très mal organiser et cette école n'a aucune considération envers les personnes qui le font.

(Translated) Great team and family experience! (Original) Super équipe et experience familale !

Marc Gerlache

(Translated) Excellent flight school. The instructors are competent and very well trained. You have a high performance simulator for your indoor practices and excellent planes at your disposal for your training. Whether for the private or commercial pilot course, I recommend this school (Original) Excellent école de pilotage. Les instructeurs sont compétents et très bien formé. Vous avez un simulateur des plus performants pour vos pratiques intérieur et d'excellent avions à votre disposition pour votre formation. Que ce soit pour le cours de pilote privé ou commercial, je vous recommande cet école

(Translated) Superb one day pilot experience. The pilots are super nice and the view is magnificent (Original) Superbe expérience pilote dun jour. Les pilotes sont super sympa et la vue est magnifique

Marco the Aviator

Thief’s...... not reliable sources. They keep lying about everything that they say is mandatory from Transport Canada. Basically you walk into this school with 1000000000 and walk out with sever turbulence in your pockets with a hence of rime ice on your face.

M O

Careful that your instructors don’t inappropriately hit on women. I went elsewhere. Extremely dissatisfied with initial service and prices.

Brian Dunn

Great school with nice aircraft and instructors

mar pel

Excellent service. Completed some IFR training and an ATPL IFR IPC. Training, installations and service were all excellent. Thanks Damien and Monah.

(Translated) A college that is accés on the income and not on the content !! Very very expensive for no good reason! Staff UNDER PAID and very little recognized for their work. Unfortunately my experience as a student and employee has definitely become ordinary with the years! My cretique does not really attack the quality of the teaching but the administrative and human side towards the students and the employee who is made casi innexistant! I think there is room to review the way of seeing things! Wanting to make money too much sometimes causes more problems than not doing enough ... I hope that one day the conditions will change and that air richelieu will be able to say that it is a staff happy to work at home and proud to represent their school without any pressure (fear of bad referrences or visa history for the french)! but well I add to finish ... a seminar at $ 500 / h with instructor is a price just too expensive and incense for a 172 to 2 engines ... at least if it was a navajo! (Original) Un college qui est accés sur les revenues et non sur le contenu !! Tres tres tres dispendieux pour aucune raison valable ! Un personnel SOUS PAYÉ et tres peu reconnu pour leur travail . Malheuresement mon experience en tant qu'eleve et employé est definitivement devenu ordinaire avec les années ! Ma cretique n'attaque vraiment pas la qualité de l'enseignement mais bien le coté administratif et humain envers l'eleves et l'employé qui est rendu casi innexistant ! je crois qu'il y a place a revoir la facons de voir les choses ! Vouloir trop faire d'argent des fois peu causer plus de problemes que de ne pas en faire assez... jespere qu'un jour les conditions changerons et que air richelieu pourra dire qu'il on un personnel heureux de travail chez eux et fier de representer leur ecole sans pression quelquonque (peur de mauvaise referrences ou histoire de visa pour les francais) ! mais bon je rajoute en terminant ... un seminole a 500$/h avec instructeur c'est un prix tout simplement trop cher et incensé pour un 172 à 2 moteurs ... au moin si c'etais un navajo !

Jean L'Italien

(Translated) Personal diplomats and professionals, they care about the success of their students once the courses are over. Well done! and good luck for your association with the Jazz company. (Original) Personnels diplomates et professionnels, ils ont le souci de la réussite de leurs élèves une fois les cours terminés. Bravo! et bonne chance pour votre association avec la compagnie Jazz.

Damien AGOSTINI

(Translated) I consider that I have received quality training and that I am now ready to become a pilot. (Original) Je considère avoir reçu une formation de qualité et être maintenant prêt au métier de pilote.

Emrick Daigle

(Translated) A school based on image more than content. Indeed air richelieu seems good at first sight. However, my experience with school ended quickly for several reasons. After making a deposit of $ 1,500 for textbooks and 2 flights, I am urgently called the next day to pay my overdue account of $ 7.35. Even though the staff were nice, getting my PTR back was not an easy task. Of the 4 flight schools in saint-hubert, air richelieu is without a doubt the most expensive. Advice to those who want to start their training: Visit the other schools before making your choice. (Original) Une école basée sur l’image plus que le contenu. En effet air richelieu semble bien à première vu. Pourtant mon expérience avec l’école s’est achevé rapidement pour plusieurs raisons. Après avoir fait un dépôt de 1500$ pour des manuels et 2 vols, on m’appelle le lendemain en urgence pour que je paye mon compte en souffrance de 7.35$. Même si le personnel était gentil, récupérer mon PTR n’a pas été une tâche facile. Des 4 écoles de pilotage a saint-hubert, air richelieu est sans aucun doute la plus chère. Conseil a ceux qui veulent commencer leur formation : Visiter les autres écoles avant de faire votre choix.

Coming from a full time student, this is the best school in the Montreal area. Lots of planes, knowledgable instructors with experience, amazing opportunities, very high fidelity simulators etc.

Guillaume Daigle

(Translated) Very nice flying experience in Montreal. Dynamic and professional team. Great (Original) Tres belle experience de vol a montreal. Equipe dynamique et professionnelle. Super

(Translated) The most expensive school in st-hubert. If you go there to do your modular classes, forget about it. You'll always come last, get canceled flights, and serve as cash cow. You are there to line the pockets of the school. Booking a flight is complicated. You are cattle to them. With a minimum of research you will find much better and your experience would be much more pleasant. ATPL or modular, forget about this school. (Original) La plus chère école de st-hubert. Si vous y aller pour faire vos cours en modulaires, oubliez ça. Vous passerez toujours en dernier, vous vous ferez annuler vos vols et vous servirez de vache à lait. Vous êtes là pour remplir les poches de l'école. Réserver un vol est compliqué. Vous êtes du bétails pour eux. Avec un minimum de recherche vous trouverez bien mieux et votre expérience serait bien plus agréable. ATPL ou modulaire, oubliez cette école.
