===Ground School (GS) Division===

The GS Division is your contact point for any question involving the written exams. Our GS Division has organized regular ground school courses on campus and online since 2012. We're currently partnered with Harv's Air.

===Pilot for a Day (PFD) Division===

The PFD Division allows aspiring pilots to experience the wonders of flying for an affordable price. Even if you do not intend to pursue a pilot's license, a beautiful flight over downtown is a fun activity for all.

===Flight Training (FT) Division===

The FT Division works directly with licensed flight training units (FTUs) and individual instructors for all licenses and ratings granted by Transport Canada. From Diamond DA20s to Piper Aztecs, our FT Division can help you find the best fit for your flight training needs.

===Flight Simulator (FS) Division===

The FS Division operates events where pilots and non-pilots can experience the power of PC flight simulations for fun and for training. We operate both X-Plane 11 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to satisfy every usage of PC flight simulations.

===Skydiving (SD) Division===

The SD Division works with local accredited skydiving schools to offer tandem-jump events for beginners. During the winter, the SD Division runs indoor wind-tunnel exercises.

===Partner Flight School (FTU) Division===

The Club currently does not provide direct flight training, and the external FTU Division is our local flight school partner CPAQ.AERO, who helps us to provide aspiring and current pilots a smooth experience for their flight training needs.

==History==

This predecessor of McGill Students' Flying Club (MSFC) was the Flying and Navigation Club. Founded in the 1950s, it revolved around prospective navigators sharing and practicing various navigational techniques. The VP Clubs of EUS, Harold Day, envisioned the idea of a flying club after discovering the 1950s records, and the MSFC was re-founded at the McGill Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS) in March of 2012 by Farzan Subhani, Guy Haddad, Joe Hayek, Kari Rosteck, Sebastien Mezeret, and Salman Hashmi (listed in alphabetical order). Since the club's revival, our Co-Presidents Lauren Nagel, Ali Najmaldin, and Madison Santos have seen the Club through the expansion of partnerships and the challenges of COVID-19 to the present the club as you see it today.
