FLIGHT CENTER NEWS................

ACCELERATED TRAINING is here : Since OFC's founding we have provided unmatched self-paced flight training. But with more and more pilots seeking professional flying careers we now offer another track...accelerated programs to get you to your aviation goals within defined cost and time parameters. See details on the Training page or ask Geoff for info.

Completely TRANSPARENT Rate Structure: Be very careful in comparing flight school rates because the devil is in the details. A rate may sound good until you find out it does not contain hidden fees like fuel and taxes. All OFC rates are inclusive of all charges so the rate you see is the rate you get out the door. All fuel and tax charges are incorporated into the aircraft rate so you are all set if renting and just need to add your instructor's rate for lessons.

FLORIDA BASE has another new AIRPLANE: Our Florida location near Tampa, Wimauma Air Park (FD77), is growing rapidly. It's a throwback to the roots of aviation; a grass field with a warm and friendly environment for flying. Joining our iconic J3C-85 Cub at the field is our new Piper Cherokee 140 Cruiser. OFC can now offer all ratings at this location.

FINANCING is now at OFC: OFC is happy to partner with two student funding sources; Stratus Financial and Flight Training Finance. Through our partnerships with these entities, OFC now has resources available for students in need of flight training financing. Offered in both Florida and New Jersey. See details on the Funding page or ask Geoff for info.

CAREER TRACKS are available: OFC can compete with the huge flight schools to offer you training from initial pilot certification thru flight instructor certifications. And you will get a true piloting education that will take you anywhere.

OFC has FREE online SCHEDULING: This makes it easy and convenient for you to schedule your flights and lessons.

Looking for INSTRUCTORS to join our crew: Come instruct at the school with a reputation for doing it right.
