Pilots & Training
Your journey starts here.
Learning to fly is closer than most people think. Ovation introduces you to aviation and connects you with an independent, qualified Cirrus flight school, then stays beside you from the first flight toward ownership.
Your journey
Five steps from curiosity to ownership.
01
Discover aviation
A conversation about what you want from flying, and an introductory flight with an instructor.
02
Explore training
Understand the ratings, the aircraft and the time it takes, without pressure.
03
Connect with a flight school
Ovation introduces you to an independent provider that fits you.
04
Begin your training
Your schedule, your pace, your instructor.
05
Progress toward ownership
When renting no longer fits, the Exchange helps you find the right aircraft.

Pilots, instructors and schools
The Pilot & Training Network also serves working pilots and the schools that train them: instructor and contract-pilot introductions, recurrent and safety training, and school relationships that support qualified aircraft placements through the Exchange.
Who delivers the training
All flight training, ratings, rentals and simulator time are delivered by independent, FAA-certificated flight schools and instructors, not by Ovation. Ovation introduces you, helps you choose, and keeps in touch. Pricing, schedules and completion times are set by the school and depend on you; Ovation publishes none of them.
Ovation is developing a relationship with Palomar Aviation, an independent flight training provider at Palomar Airport. Until an agreement is executed, Palomar Aviation is not an Ovation partner, and any introduction is made as to any other qualified school.
