confidence.
A family-founded academy where safety comes first and instruction is one-on-one. Almost anyone can learn to fly — we make sure you do it well.
More about OFA →Safety is the first priority
Aircraft are maintained to the highest standards with strict FAA 100-hour inspections and preventative maintenance. You receive personal attention from experienced instructors who bring real-world expertise to every lesson.
One-on-one, on your schedule
Our flexible Part 61 curriculum adapts to you. Individualized instruction — not an assembly line — reduces both your training time and your total cost compared with rigid, one-size-fits-all programs.
Instructors who fly for a living
Every instructor holds a Commercial Pilot License, flies limited hours each day so they arrive sharp, and personally endorses your logbook. Several are building toward — or already flying — professional airline careers.
Grounded in Oklahoma
A family-founded academy built on an aviation legacy passed down through generations. We are proud to teach the next generation of Oklahoma pilots — for fun, for freedom, or for a career amid a historic pilot shortage.
Your climb starts on the ground.
From your very first flight to a professional career — every rating OFA trains, flown one-on-one in one glass-cockpit fleet.
