OCFC Makes Safer Pilots

FLIGHT TRAINING @ KSNA
Better pilots learn right from the start. Our General Aviation runway allows training right there with the airliners. Learn to fly at Orange County Airport and you'll have experience and confidence to fly into any airport.

INTERNATIONAL PILOTS
Southern California; ideal flight training weather with some clouds for instrument flying, sea level to mountain airports, and mostly clear skies. We help with your FAA paperwork, Visas, TSA, and I-20 clearances.
