At the Rockcliffe Flying Club in Ottawa, we are enthusiasts, instructors and advisors. But most of all, we are flyers. And we LOVE what we do. You can expect us—without exception—to go to extraordinary lengths to make sure you are not only the best pilot you can be, but also that flying at RFC is the safest and best overall flying experience you can have. Love hangar talk? You’ll find no better stories than from our RFC members pilots and instructors. Need to pull in and fill up in Ottawa before being on your way? We can help. Need a little extra advice? Rockcliffe Flying Club members can offer plenty of that, too.
