I joined OCFC as an instructor about 2 years ago when few instructors were available and they had…read moreonly 2 planes. Now they have over 5 active flight instructors and 4 planes. They just added a C172 to the existing C182, Cherokee 180, and Warrior. The Warrior is based at Deland convenient for those north of the river. It can still be an inconvenience if your favorite plane is down or scheduled when you want it but the rates are great (as low as $50 per hour tach for the Warrior).

This club thinks they are doing you a favor by allowing you to spend your hard earned money to pay…read moremonthly dues and rent their aircraft . They have one instructor who has limited availability and will treat you like dirt because he knows he's the only one allowed to do checkouts. Tried to deny me access to their aircraft by telling instructor to delay my checkout and continued to collect my monthly dues (because I left a 3/5 star review for Starport FBO). They are cheap but you get what you pay for, look elsewhere.

As a brief update, DCA was recently bought by a pair of private equity firms and is no longer owned…read moreby Delta. As such, the name will be officially changed from "Delta Connection Academy" to "DCA." It's unclear what, if any, effect the buyout will have on operations, though employees will be losing their Delta flight privileges.

Thats fine with me delta was a bad, crooked school and I hope this change will stop some bad…read morepractices that went on around there. Ex. There was this one instructor that made a habbit of failing any student the first time. Everyone knew of this, instead of firing her they just switch her from testing students to testing instructors. Every instructor knew of this in such a matter that when the instructor found out that she was testing his student they went ahead and got the paper work together for a failing test. It didn't matter how good or bad she would always fail first test and pass second. That was just one of many ways delta stole my money.

I've had an Elite sim for more than 5yrs. It's never worked quite right. Tech support isn't…read moreresponsive at all, they're always busy with other people or concerns. I called for a small issue that I had a work-around for, but hoping to have it work correctly and within 5 minutes, the tech rep successfully broke my whole sim and it was unusable for months. He couldn't fix it and an outside company didn't care. I paid thousands of $$ extra and spent several months down to get this resolved and it's still much worse than before I called. Every time the tech tried to help, I had to make a new work-around to compensate for what he did. Finally, I gave up trying. These people don't know what they're doing. To be fair, most of their sims are one-offs and probably custom made so they make a new thing for every installation but I would shop elsewhere.

I own an Elite sim for 10 years and it is amazing how much i saved money to stay current . I also…read morepractice approaches from any airport of my choice. Before going to a trip, i become familiar with the approaches of my destination. John, the man running the show at Elite has been so helpful for all these years!!! He is a real gentleman and a retired Blackhawck army pilot! He will be the first one to enjoy teaching you and demo any sim he has at the facility. I took my son one day to try the sims. Since then he became a private pilot holder at the age of 17 after 4 months of training on the real plane and a few hours on the sim. A big thanks to John for sharing and giving the vibe of flying to my boy!Keep up with the good job

I now fly WWII aircraft including a mustang all over the country! Is there anything this man can't do? You owe it to yourself to fly with Sasha. If you are anywhere within a 50 state radius of Florida, get yourself to Seminole Lake ASAP and experience true flight!! Soar with the man, the myth, the legend: SASHA MARVIN. Overheard quote after an aerobatic flight: "This is better than sex AND peanut butter." Just look at the pictures, it must be true. Book a flight right now!! In fact, book all the flights.

From the owner: I do Glider Aerobatics Rides. This will be the most thrilling and breathtaking experience of all…read moreyour life. You will sit in the front seat of the aerobatic glider with the best visibility ever. You and the clouds. We'll be towed by an airplane high in the sky and then we'll begin our dance in the blue. There's no words to explain what you feel during a stall turn in a glider: no sound, no gravity. You go from heavenly moments to super action like in the loop or the barrel roll. Feel like an astronaut in the long zero gravity curve and feel the G force of a combat pilot in a fighter. All this in the Florida skies, above the lakes and the green swamps, just 14 miles west of Disney. Bring your GoPro or use ours. You'll want to share this with your friends! I also do Glider Aerobatics Training, from Basic to Unlimited. And i teach Unusual Attitudes and Spin Training to glider pilots.
