−
‘Pilot for a Day’ events provide a unique opportunity for members to see what the whole fuss is about (and for catching the flying bug), as well as for pilots to build their flying hours in an affordable way by splitting cost with members they’re flying.
 
  
−
PFD events are organized twice per semester in collaboration with local partner flight schools. The event takes place over a weekend with transportation to and from the airport provided by MSFC.

===Ground School (GS) Division===
−
The Skydiving Division is an inclusive group for learning and experienced skydivers. The division organizes several events for various skill-levels, including tandem-jump events for beginners, indoor wind-tunnel exercises during the winter, and group jumps for licensed individuals. AFF/PFF courses are also offered via a partnership with skydiving schools, leading to the Solo License. Other competency certifications are available as well.

===Ground School===
+
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.
−
Ground School is the theoretical/classroom component of your flight training. It is called “ground school” since the other component is the practical or actual flying which takes place in the sky. In order to get a particular pilot license, you need to successfully complete both the theoretical and practical components to earn your license. In a way, it’s similar to getting your driver’s license where you have to pass a written test and then the actual driving test to earn your license, except in this case, the training is much more involved. A Private Pilot License or PPL, will allow you to fly a single-engine prop plane, like a cessna 172, anywhere, with passengers, only during daylight in VFR conditions.

This predecessor of McGill Students' Flying Club (MSFC) was the Flying and Navigation Club.

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.
