In 1999, it was granted accreditation with the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia. In 2002, Pacific Flying Club collaborated with BCIT in forming the Airline and Flight Operations Program.[2] Dick Laidman was the former Chief Engineer of the club and was president of Pacific Western Airlines.[3] In 2011, an accident occurred in the mountains of Harrison Lake killing both the instructor and student.[4]
