Easter 2010 and Key West trip 022Orlando Aviators Flying Club has aircraft  and flight instruction available at Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) for certified pilots as well as people new to aviation.

Presently we have two very clean and well-maintained airplanes, a 1983 Cessna 172P and a 1989 Piper Arrow PA-28R. We are currently seeking a replacement for the SR22. You can check out our airplanes here. We are always looking to add the right airplane to the club. Interested in putting an airplane in service with us? Drop us a line.

We have four Certified Flight Instructors (CFIIs) who are available for all of your training questions and needs. Meet all of these instructors in the “Instruction” section of the website. We are currently training Private, Instrument, and Commercial students.

In addition to flying, we also find the club to be a great way to meet and socialize with other pilots. We encourage participation in Club events as well as local FAA sponsored seminars.

You can find out most of the events we are doing simply by visiting this front page and our calendar.

Our goal is to serve the local flying community as the “site to check out regularly” for local updates along with weather/METAR/TAF for locals.

Central Florida has many great local sights as well as nearby airports catering to general aviation pilots.  We can point you toward many great destinations within just one or two hours of flight time from Orlando.  From the historical attractions of St. Augustine to the beaches of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, you are a short flight from hundreds of airports that have access to all sorts of vacation fun.  Many of the airports have restaurants that you can taxi right up to.

Give us a call anytime to find out more about area flying and how to get started.  No matter what your intentions, business or pleasure, we can help you find the right way to become a pilot.

New Runway Crossing Procedure Starts June 30th

Uncategorized Comments Off
New Runway Crossing Procedure
Notice Number: NOTC2374

Runway Crossing Procedure Change

Beginning June 30, 2010 , controllers will be required to issue explicit instructions to cross or hold short of each runway that intersects a taxi route.

“Taxi to” will no longer be used when issuing taxi instructions to an assigned take-off runway.

Instructions to cross a runway will be issued one at a time. Instructions to cross multiple runways will not be issued. An aircraft or vehicle must have crossed the previous runway before another runway crossing is issued.

This applies to any runway, including inactive or closed runways.

Changes will also be made to the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) and AIP to reflect the new procedures.

Never cross a hold line without explicit ATC instructions.
If in doubt ASK!

Reminder: You may not enter a runway unless you have been:

  • instructed to cross that specific runway;
  • cleared to take off from that runway; or
  • instructed to position and hold on that specific runway.
