As
a training facility, we offer professional flight training
in accordance with Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
All
of our flight instructors are independent high time professionals
working with programs providing the best quality training.
They schedule for the convenience of the student who
they teach on a one-on-one basis, and are available 7
days a week.
We
are now enjoying a loyal customer base of about 400 members
and an excellent reputation around the San Francisco Bay with
the aviation authorities and other aviation businesses. Its
record of safety shows for the quality of flight instruction
provided as well as the maintenance which is a priority in
order to meet our safety standards and the enjoyment of our
customers.
Duration
and Cost of Training
Each student is different and learns at a different pace.
The duration of your training will vary with your goals and
time available. 3 to 6 months is an average time investment
for earning a private pilot certificate. This time may be
as short as 1 or 2 months for a committed full-time student.
"Guaranteed packages" don't leave room for individuals and
are therefore not offered at Oakland Flyers. We have compiled
estimates of training costs that will give you a realistic
idea of the financial commitment necessary for you to reach
your goals. These figures will vary from student to student.

page.
About
Payment
"Pay as you fly". Oakland Flyers allows each student to determine
his or her own methods of payment. This financial flexibility
allows students to start immediately and tailor their flying
to their finances. Club members can realize a 10% saving when
depositing US $500 or more in advance. For further member
convenience, we accept both Visa and Mastercard.
Where
We Are
Oakland Flyers is located at the Oakland International Airport,
on the beautiful San Francisco Bay. The Oakland airport is
an FAA tower controlled airfield that boasts all the services
of a metropolitan air terminal. In addition to 24 hour fuel
and services, an FAA Flight Standards District Office, a Flight
Service Station (aviation weather provider) and Terminal Radar
Approach Control facility are all located on the field. Being
located in some of the busiest airspace in the U.S., it qualifies
our students to fly comfortably anywhere once certificated.
The San Francisco bay area and Northern California are beautiful
and provide an interesting and varied environment for flight
training. Minutes to the West is the stunning Pacific coastline,
a little over an hour to the East are the spectacular snow
capped Sierra Nevada mountains.
