Training Philosophy

WE ARE AN  "OLD SCHOOL"FLIGHT SCHOOL USING MODERN EQUIPMENT

Customized to your pace from recreational to commercial level, coupled with advanced, glass cockpit, multi-engine and aerobatic aircraft. For example, OAS provides aviation professionals and enthusiasts with aircraft rentals and “back to basics” training from recreational to commercial on modern aircraft. We stress the fundamentals of flying in order to make our customers a proficient pilot. Once our customers have mastered the fundamentals we the introduce modern electronic cockpit environments. OAS tailors its curriculum to the unique needs of each pilot to help them achieve their goal in the most efficient way possible.

There are very few schools left who can cater to your needs to provide you with the knowledge and skills to fly on your own or for an air operator that would employ you in the future.

  • We want our students to be able to fly airplanes with skills brought by understanding and knowledge.

  • We want them to learn to fly and be able to transition that skill into more advanced and faster aircraft.

  • Those who decide to fly with us will find themselves as well or better qualified as anyone for less cost.

TRAINING FLEET

OAS's fleet of modern, state-of-the-art aicraft is unmatched by any flying school in Ontario and equipped with advanced avionics and navigation systems and is available for flight training and rent.

OAS offers a diversified fleet of single and multi-engine aircrafts with the constant objective of best preparing our students. The Katana DA20 A1, OAS's primary trainer, has a constant speed propeller ideal for training and prepares pilots for more advanced aircraft from the start. 

In the same spirit, our twin is a turbocharged aircraft allowing our commercial pilot students to build the foundation to handle high performance and complex aircrafts. Our Diamond Star GlassCockpit (G1000) teaches our students with the new aviation technology for VFR and IFR pilots and for commercial pilots wanting get an introduction to Glass Cockpit. The Grob G115 will round up your training by giving you unusual attitudes and aerobatic experiences.
