OTF (Orlando Flight Training in Florida)
JAA Pro Pilot Program
Hi everyone, appreciate if someone could kindly shed some light on OFT program they run in Florida, where it’s initially an FAA programme, with JAA ground study/examinations and then finally a JAA CPL in the states, before off to the UK for a FAA-JAA conversion with a JAA IR.
I’m an ex-instructor from Florida, but from over 10 years ago and ended up a BAE Systems teaching CPL IR MEP, before finally getting my break into the airlines. Just flew with a couple of crew members to Orlando and back. They are about to make the jump and invest all the time and money in the world of flight training, just wanted to help with some form of advice, since it’s was a mind field when I went through and I suspect not too much has changed.
Is Adrian Thompson or Ben Wood the likely CPL examiners?
Any pit falls?
What’s OFT like and the standard of instruction?
Anyway, I’m now wide body with a UK airline, but look back with some lovely memories.
Appreciate if anyone is kind enough to help.
