Fly the "Mercedes of the Skies" in style!
| Attention: Ormond Beach Cirrus Flying Club is the only Cirrus rental facility in Ormond/Flagler/Daytona area. We have been established in 2022 and are currently open to new members. A maximum of 10 members may be admitted. The availability is limited, so Please apply now. |
Ormond Beach Cirrus Flying Club (OBCFC) was established in May 2022 after Aerocadet (Raich Aerospace Group LLC) bought a 2004 SR-20 G2 to established a limited flying club for up to ten local members. The club is based in Ormond Beach Municipal Airport (KOMN) located approx 10 miles south of Flagler Municipal and approx 10 miles north of Daytona Beach Int. airports. OBCFC is owned and perated by Raich Aerospace Group LLC, a local private aviation training and consulting business trading as "Aerocadet". Although Aerocadet specializes in aviation training and career development exclusively for international students, our OBCFC operation is dedicated to local Florida residents only.
Cirrus aircraft is a so-called "Mercedes of the Skies", so, unlike Cessna and Piper and Mooney pilots out there, you will be cruising in an "S-class" style. Glass cockpit, executive trim cabin, modern agronomics and high performance (200hp) are some of the few benefits that you will enjoy as a OCFC member. And the doors... oh those "Lambo" style doors... How can you not love them!
Due to our insurance restrictions, the club is limited to ten (10) members. That is if you want to have access to the aircraft 24/7. Reservations are made on-line via Flight Circle FBO system and are reserved on first-come-first-served.
Non-members can rent this aircraft subject to Cirrus current instructor check-out and availability. Club members always have FCFS basis utilization priority and club membership discounts.
Cirrus pilots enjoy an unparalleled safety due to aircraft fuselage being equipped with a special parachute which can save them from even the hairiest of situations. When it comes to personal safety - there are no compromises!
Our SR-20 has a full glass cockpit based on Avidyne platform. This means that the aircraft is suitable for leisure flying and business use in any reasonable weather, offering unparalleled situational awareness and navigation system.
The advantages are many. The benefits are immense. The pricing is... surprising.
We have some standards, yes. But they are for your own safety.
