Orient Flight School : About OFS (http://www.orientflights.com/overview.shtml)

So has any of you got a first hand experience with them?
It seems good to me, they've got a healthy fleet (but it is shared with their charter serv)... Backed by the Hindustan Group of Institutions.
Got anything to share about them, facilities? Placements? How successful have they been so far? 18 years in the field....
And their charter service site looks good to me... ;)

Thank you!

I think they've run into some trouble and had stopped flying activities for a while if i'm not wrong.
Do go visit the place first hand and ask around before you make up your mind.

cheers,

I'm a student currently doing my cpl with them. Their ground classes are below average, but flying wise they are ok. Cfi is good. They are short on staff. Cfi+2 Afis. Two 152s and 3-5 172s are functional most of the time. Regular flying happens, but course will take minimum 3 years for completion. They have a bsc commercial pilot course going side by side, started last year. They don't have night flying facility and only one of the 172s is a glass cockpit.

Hi, did you people have any update on OFS? I am a cabin crew with Jet Airways and I am looking for next level challenge for me.

Doing CPL was a natural progression for me and when I looked up OFS seemed very feasible, as it is in Chennai where I am right now.

Hi !

A friend of mine flies there. Turns out she is not very happy with the way things happen at OFS.
