"I highly recommend OCFC for flight training. My son just obtained his private pilot lic and we give a lot of credit to OCFC and their structured program. Maggie was a wonderful instructor and went out her way to ensure he knew what he was doing, was prepared and safe. He has nothing but high praise for her and the entire team."

"My time here at OCFC has been life changing; they stay true to their motto, "training to live by". I finished my private certificate here in June and started instrument training on July 5th. Now, on August 5th, I took my first stage check (out of 3 to finish instrument). Throughout my training here I've had different instructors; some were very good, and s..." Read more

"Great flight school! I've received training and have done many aircraft checkouts at several flight other schools and OCFC is by far one of the best I've experienced. I came in with my commercial pilot license to complete my flight instructor rating and it was a seamless transition. John Prince was my excellent CFI who helped me pass the CFI checkride on the..."

"I cannot begin to express the wonderful experience I had the last couple of days with Linh Nguyen at OCFC! My primary flight school is in Apple Valley, and I've been on a slow quest to obtain my private. Apple Valley airport is non-towered, so I've been having difficulty learning radio comms. A pilot friend recommended I take a few lessons out of a busy tow..." Read more

"So I had the desire to learn to fly and I started doing research on places that will take you on a "Demo" flight, to see if you like it and want to take further lessons for your license. I found two places to look into further based on positive online reviews. The first one I found was disappointing, the instructor didn't seem interested in teaching anyt..." Read more

"This has got to be one of Southern California's finest flight schools. Every call I made was responded to promptly. All the others either did not respond or were too busy.Took a demo flight & Pete Angelici the CFI that took me up was very thorough explaining the basics. I now have a new friend in the cockpit called the "trim wheel" Thanks Pete for the introd..." Read more

"First flight in a Cessna 172sp. Was very fun and exciting. Was able to bring along a second person with the instructor. We flew to Dana point and through Irvine over the toll roads and back to John Wayne airport. My instructor Graeme was very patient and very thorough. He let me take full control of the plane at times and helped me understand what I was doin..." Read more

"I recently got my pilot’s license in Santa Monica in a Sport Cruiser, so I needed to be checked out in a 172. Matt is always cool and eager to help schedule anything I need. I’ve flown with Mark a couple of times and he’s also a great guy. I’ve talked to Gary (the owner ... I believe) about purchasing a plane and although I’m not looking to spend a fortune,..." Read more

"This is by far the best flight school in SoCal. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and very skilled. I have gotten all my ratings here and I am now working on my CFI and it has been a great experience since the day I started flying here. They actually keep the planes in great condition unlike some other flight schools at SNA. They have great prices o..." Read more

"I have been flying out of OCFC both as a student and renter for several years. Without exception, this is a first class operation. Gary the owner is a fabulous person as is his staff. The instructors are really engaged and make the learning experience fun. If your a student, you will be taught the "right" and safe way. I finished my Private several ye..." Read more

"Flight school here was an excellent (albeit very expensive) experience. Cynthia Nguyen is the epitome of what a flight instructor should be. She was always on time, worked around my schedule, and even spent a lot of early mornings with me to help me get my license on my timeline. She is/was pretty stern but always pushed me to fly and learn as best I could..." Read more
