Training AircraftOur training aircraft make learning to fly so easy, you’ll think it’s magic. But rest assured, it’s simply a combination of breakthrough technology and good old-fashioned stick and rudder basics you will use to master the art of becoming a pilot.
On the other hand, you may already be an experienced pilot, but like many, you don't own a plane — and, in fact, most certified pilots are not aircraft owners. Perhaps you are looking to earn an Instrument Rating to add more safety and utility to your flying. That’s why we keep our stable of reliable, meticulously maintained training and rental aircraft at your disposal, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are a qualified pilot, Orient Flight School will be happy to schedule a familiarization flight in one of the late-model aircraft in our fleet. If you are new to OFS, all you have to do is provide your current certificate and medical. A flight instructor will assist you in OFS procedures and get you registered. Then after a check-out for Insurance and safety reasons, you're on your way! Best of all, our aircraft have very competitive hourly rental rates (wet), with no fuel surcharges, no hidden insurance fees – no surprises. Before you depart though, you’ll want to check out our pilot shop. We know that having the best pilot supplies and equipment on board makes your cross country flying safer and more enjoyable. That’s why our pilot shop has everything you need for your trip from charts to headsets and more. With our knowledge of Florida and the Bahamas, we can even assist you in selecting the perfect fun-filled, sun-drenched destination.  Orient Flight School Cessna Skyhawk The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most popular training airplane in general aviation history, and for good reason. Its stable flight and ground handling characteristics and simple design make it an excellent trainer. It strikes the perfect balance between enough speed to get handle regional cross country flights, but not too much to intimidate new pilots.

If you're a fan of low wings, we've got the bird for you — the Piper Warrior, an airplane that set the standard for all Piper training aircraft. Few General Aviation airplanes have earned as much loyalty over the years as the iconic Warrior, which is ideal for Private Pilot training and a lifetime of flying thereafter. |
