Action Ultralights

Gary is a great mentor. He brought out my passion for flight again. Thank you for that from an old pilot.

Holy disappointed with this company. I purchased a 40 min Island daily deals flight. The owner agreed I could do it later (the other half as in another 20 minute flight)as I was hoping to get a friend a flight for a gift. I went on the first flight and had a great time. He appeared a really great guy. I left happy at my experience. And told lots of how great it was,....opps mistake,...a little too soon. Time was getting on so I contacted him (prior to the expiry date) and he told me "don't worry,...it will never expire" so I felt confident in his words and kept it on hold for when my friend can come to the island and use the coupon. So I went with that. Contacted him today as yes,..it was getting on in time to use the remaining part of the coupon. Again, "it will never expire",..rang in my ears. Unfortunately for me now,...he is not willing to honour his words to me. And tells me it has,..... "expired". When I enquired as to why he has went back on his word to me,..no answer. But offers to give me a credit and I can pay the remaining amount for another full price flight. And says,...there is (now) a expiry date that I long missed knowing full well I was a Island Daily Deals customer. Island Daily Deals has no recourse but reviews so here it is. I will never purchase from Action Ultralites again or Island daily Deals ever again because there is no recourse, no where to review this company,..or no where to put in a formal complaint. Perhaps BBB?? No way to make people accountable to their words to you. I feel ripped off and it's so too bad,...people do not honour their words. Can't trust ANYONE NOW ADAYS!!!! WHAT A SHAME!! And it was worth a whole $60. to solve this issue,..and he choose not to. Hmmmm Edit SEPTEMBER 16 Rena Van Steele commented on King & Queen County Sheriffs Office Va.'s post.

If you're looking for a flight school that will train you for your PPL or Recreational Pilot Permit - and not bill on the assumption that you intend to go on to be a commercial pilot, this is the one to use. And if you ARE planning on going for CPL, all the flight time applies... They are based out of Duncan, so every flight includes short field techniques - good for learning to fly to interesting places in BC, but also fly to Victoria (controlled airspace) and Nanaimo (uncontrolled but flight services station) so you learn to fly to big places too. Ground school includes many books, pilot log, etc plus you can go back for a refresher whenever they are holding the class.

I got a one hour instructional flight as a Christmas gift from my daughter. Due to my location and a number of priorities, it took more than 6 month before I was able to make my way to Duncan, but yesterday I finely redeemed my gift. This was my first time up in an ultralight and I was eager to try it out. I was lucky enough to get a beautiful day and we took off from the Duncan flying club at 1:00PM in an duel control two seater. We headed out toward Crofton area and circled over Salt Spring, Galiano, Kuper/Thetis and back toward the Cowichan Valley, landing an hour later. It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who like me has always wanted to fly, or if you just want to take an awsome sightseeing tour. I found the staff at Action U. very profesional, safety concius and accomodating. It was great to be able to take the controlls and see what it actualy feels like to fly one of these aircraft. It is also much easier on the wallet than a full size airplane. So get out there and try it out! You will love it! Thanks A.U.! Jay

Fantastic flight school, very knowledgeable and highly experienced instructors. You will never regret your decision to learn to fly from this school.

Yesterday 19/May/2015 I had my first flight in the Genesis Ultralight which had been on my bucket list for quite some time. My flight Instructor for the flight was Sam who was very informed and explained in great detail the Genesis before takeoff. After takeoff he put me through my paces on Climb, descend left and right turns to get the feel of the aircraft then handed the controls over to me and gave instructions what to do and where to go and at the same time pointed out places of interested. To say the least it was a joy and would recommend anyone who ever wanted to see the Island and all its beauty take a flight in Gary’s Genesis Ultralight. Again many thanks to Sam what a wonderful experience I had yesterday, it will be long remembered. Jack Parksville

I am currently in flight training at Action Ultralights and cannot say enough about the experience. Gary is a very experienced, professional, and affable person. Safety is always the number one priority and it is apparent that the level of training goes well above and beyond the basic requirements. The staff at Action are always friendly, informative, and accommodating. If learning to fly has been on your bucket list for a long time or you are just passionate about aviation pick up the phone and book a Discovery Flight today! You won't regret it, it's an experience of a lifetime!
