The top blended scores of applicants in each of nine regions qualifies them for the national competition.

The finalists will compete in Peterborough, Ontario Aug. 21-25 hosted by Seneca College. The competition includes a flight test in an airplane, a flight test in a simulator, a written test and an interview with judges.
