Orient Flight SchoolFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Homestead, Florida
Orient Flight School is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 28790 SW 217th Avenue, Building 10 Suite 1 in Homestead, Florida 33030, under air agency certificate OFSS018M with location designator OFSS. The certificate holder's legal name is Custom Air International, LLC; the FAA record carries the trading name Orient Flight School. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Miami Homestead General Aviation (X51), a non-towered field at 7 ft elevation, 1.1 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is 1.1 miles from that field, close enough that the aircraft are most likely based there, but confirm the training airport before comparing hourly rates. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Homestead General in Homestead, FL at under 0.1 miles, followed by Miami Dade College in Miami at 13 miles. Florida has 108 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #1 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Pembroke Pines (8), Jacksonville (7) and Miami (7). 1 of the Florida entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (786) 248-8020, and an agency email, bryan@orientflightschool.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes for this location. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
