Our "Training To Live By" motto is backed up with comprehensive training syllabi that concentrate on down-to-earth fundamentals, standardized flight instruction, and our chief flight instructor — a retired airline captain with 42 years of general aviation experience. Do you want to fly with total confidence for personal enjoyment or do you dream of a professional flying career? OCFC will prepare you for either goal. Our diverse fleet of late model Cessna and Piper aircraft, including the revolutionary new G-1000 equipped 172SP is maintained to the highest standards by our large maintenance facility — American Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. This FAA approved repair station, located close to our flight line, provides timely repairs if a minor problem should occur prior to your departure. For some folks, the acquisition of the Private Pilot's License is the precursor to aircraft ownership. At American Aircraft Sales, thirty years of buying, selling and brokering general aviation aircraft has provided hundreds of pilots the dream come true of owning their own plane. With it's close alliance to our maintenance facility, aircraft purchasers are entitled to a lifetime of quality service with customer-preferred discounts for as long as they own their plane. We hope that you will come and see for yourself just what we have to offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed. At OCFC, you, the customer, are our first priority.
