The flight school is located at Lawspel in Pondicherry, a former French colony about 150kms from Chennai. Pondicherry is blessed with excellent weather all the year through and the absence of commercial flying activity there provides the perfect environment for uninterrupted flight training. All five aircrafts are equipped with the latest avionics and can be compared to the best in any international aviation institution. The ground school comprises the latest in audio-video instructional teaching aids. The school owns a well-stacked resource center for the latest published works on aviation.
Computer based training is offered as a part of the course, to improve trainee skills.
Since OFS is located on a tower-controlled airport, students routinely communicate with and fly in the ACT system and their exposure to other airports during their course of training provides them with invaluable experience. OFS aircraft are meticulously maintained in our exclusive maintenance facility by our certified engineers. Our maintenance standards exceed DGCA and manufacturer's recommendations. This allows our students to complete their training safely and efficiently. At OFS,our Pilot trainees have flown over 10,000 hours making over 18,000 landings in the last two years and have created excellent safety records.
