Ideal for students from the southern half of Winnipeg. Steinbach base is located 2 miles south of Steinbach on highway 12. NOT at the Steinbach North airport. Best way to get to Steinbach from Winnipeg is via highway 52/59 or highway 1/12.

St. Andrews

Control towered airport, practice area is close by to the north of the school. Multiple runways. Ideal for customers from the northern half of Winnipeg. St. Andrews base is located on 601 Club Road, St. Andrews airport. This is in the middle of the St. Andrews airport complex. When entering the airport, turn north on Airport Drive, then east until the end of Club road.

Students are welcome to fly at either location. Rates are slightly different in St. Andrews due to the cost of operating at a controlled, municipal airport.  Please contact Harv´s to discuss which location would be best for you.

The experience of the staff and management is the envy of the aviation training industry. Having the same owner and management for almost 40 years is unrivaled in the industry.
