The Namao Flying Club was founded in 1972 with a mission statement of providing low cost training and rentals to our members. Take pride that as a member, you are a part owner of the club. Located at Villeneuve Airport, Edmonton's primary training airport and just 20 minutes from the city, you can make the most of every flight training dollar.

Interested in starting your training or flying with us? Click the "Your Training" and "Your Club" links above. There are a number of different ratings and licenses we offer. We also welcome licensed pilots to join us and have access to our fleet 24/7.

The Namao Flying Club is a Licensed Vocational school with Alberta Enterprise & Advanced Education.

Our CPL, Multi-engine, IFR and Instructor Rating courses are all eligible for student financing.
Unfortunately, we are not licensed to accept international students.

As a truly not-for-profit organization, we offer attractive savings over other local flying schools and aircraft rentals. We provide some of the lowest rates in Canada.

We also offer tailwheel and aerobatics training for those adventurous types looking for a new challenge!
