What Our Students Have To Say
What Our Students Have To Say
We are proud to highlight the praise we have received from our past and current students. Our mission is to ensure a highly enjoyable experience and we endeavor to go the extra mile for each our our students!

“I came in here after researching different schools for private pilot and accidentally stumbled across this one. After visiting a few schools, I decided to go with this one and I’m very glad I did. The owner is very honest, helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this if you are interested in private pilot or anything beyond that.”

“Just went up for my first discovery flight. It was amazing! Looking forward to getting started spending more time in the air with real lessons.”

“I have been taking lessons here for the last two months and really enjoy everything. Omar is awesome, always helpful at getting lessons set up and motivating you to deal with some of the pitfalls of flying. Dylan and Darryl are awesome CFI’s and have really helped me improve as a student pilot and learn the fundamentals. Great flight school.”

“First time in the AIR in a Piper Sport. Instructor Bre Orr was fantastic as to clarity and understanding as to instructions. Intro flights are brief but provide an excellent expectation as to what comes next. On that note, I’m on board to continue my training to my Private Pilots License. I have no idea what this will lead to but I do know this will and can open doors. Whether I use it for Business to travel the coastal region on behalf of Ocean Marine Surveyors, Inc or just pleasure or maybe even further in the industry of flying but all I can say is and recommend is one step at a time and I do recommend OC Flight School to check it out!”
“I currently take flight lessons from the owner, Omar; I have nothing but good to say about him and those that work for him. A lot of schools seem to just hire people by the dozens that just got there certificate for flight instructing(cfi/cfii) who just want to get hours and leave, and you hear about students being halfway through with their private pilot licensing and their instructor that they built a relationship with just leaves without notice. But Omar and Faris as well are great at what they do, and are there for you through your whole process, as well as always good with answering any questions you have. I highly recommend OC Flight Lessons!”
“If you’re interested in becoming a pilot, this is the school to attend. I began my training in May 2015 with incredible results! I completed my PPL at 51 hours! Which is… unheard of, in the L.A. basin area. Including my instrument rating, right at FAA minimums as well. I’m currently finishing my commercial with the same results! Aircraft rates are one of the lowest compared to nearby schools. Instructors are highly experienced with airline backgrounds. OC Flight Lessons, thank you for the support and great experience… You rock!”
