We offer in-classroom as well as virtual ground school. Either way, your questions will be answered quickly and thoroughly by your instructor. One more important aspect to OAS LIVE classes is that you will have training towards the “oral” portion of your practical flight test. The Private Pilot Live course consists of 24 hours of FAA instructor led presentations, discussions, and testing. You will also obtain a logbook endorsement showing compliance with FAR 61.105 of the FAA regulations. This endorsement clears the way for you to begin flight training towards acquiring your private pilot certificate! As a bonus, OAS will process your FAA Student Pilot Certificate at no charge to you! All your course materials are provided and you will have use of our facility resources, including our Flight1 (G1000) and Gleim flight simulators, as well as our Avionics Lab, and bonus study sessions prior to taking FAA Knowledge Test.

Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) Ground School and Flight Training
2025-06-09 08:00 - 2025-06-14 17:00
Join our intensive 45-hour CFI Certification Course designed to immerse you in the world of flight instruction. This program offers thorough training for the FOI, FIA, and AGI exams, serving as your pathway to mastering flight instruction and elevating your aviation career. With a wealth of comprehensive materials, state-of-the-art simulators, and hands-on flight training, we equip you with everything necessary for your success.
Typically, the CFI applicants can get through the CFI and the CFII in the summer (usually by the end of July or the first week of August). We have our local ABC affiliate weatherman, Jay Prater, come and teach the weather module, we have a production flight test engineer come and teach the aerodynamics and spin portion, and many more. The main course will be taught by Kirby Ortega, who is a master flight instructor and who is in the flight instructor hall of fame. He has also received the Wright Brother Master Pilot award and is inducted in the Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame.
