On June 14, Sealand’s Pipistrel Velis Electro will take flight for an introductory flight lesson. It will be the first time a person can purchase a commercial flight on an electric aircraft in Canada. The student will be allowed to operate the aircraft under the guidance of the flight instructor.

Sealand Flight is hosting a contest to find a person for the training flight.
