Yes, this is a plug for Air Orlando Aviation in Orlando, Florida. After all the debate about Delta Connection Academy in Sanford, I felt compelled to make a plug for Air Orlando. I am currently employed there as a CFI and did a chunk of my training there (Private, part of instrument, CFII and MEI). What an awesome school to say the least!
We have a fleet of over 30 aircraft mostly consisting of new (1999 and later) model Cessna 172s. We have two Piper Arrows, three Piper Senecas and a Piper Aztec. We have plans to replace our 152s with Diamond Eclipses for initial training. We have a staff of 22 instructors, all of whom have exceptional piloting and teaching skills.
The school has on order a Motus Full Motion Simulator that will be vry high tech and in the school for use sometime in October. Our owner is customer oriented and refuses to become a pilot factory. The Chief Pilot is currently in the process of applying for Part 141 certification with the Orlando FSDO. However, this will only cover about 10% - 20% of our training with the rest remaining as Part 61.
We have beautiful facilities and great maintenance. Our prices our competitive and are far cheaper than any academy. Students going from zero hours to CFI are spending a fraction of what it costs to go through an academy. Not to mention, there is a better potetial to get a job at the end.
The job as a CFI there is second to none. The pay is competitive and the hours are probably better. I fly 70-80 hours per month and bill 80-100 per month. I feel safe in our planes and have fun while doing it.
If you are considering Orlando, please stop by or call. You can ask for me or PM on JC for more info. Our company's website is http://www.flyairorlando.com I am not in any way conncected with marketing. I am an employee that loves where I work and would love to train and meet new people. I am trying to give you another option in the Orlando Area. Sorry this was so long!
