About
Ocean Aviation Flight Academy has positioned itself as the premier flight school in Maryland and Delaware, operating from its flagship Maryland campus at Ocean City Municipal Airport (KOXB) in Berlin, Maryland alongside a Delaware Coastal Airport location in Georgetown. The school holds Textron Aviation's prestigious "Top Hawk" Cessna Pilot Center designation for 2022, recognizing its excellence in standardized Cessna-based pilot training. Ocean Aviation's accelerated ProPilot Course takes students from zero flight hours to a Commercial Pilot Certificate in as little as eight months — one of the fastest timelines for a professional certification program in the Mid-Atlantic region. The school holds SEVIS approval to issue I-20 forms, enabling international students from around the world to obtain M-1 visas for career flight training at Ocean Aviation, creating a culturally diverse student body. FAA Part 141 certification ensures the training meets the highest regulatory standards while also enabling students to qualify for reduced minimum flight hours. The Ocean City airport setting provides a uniquely scenic coastal training environment, with Atlantic Ocean approaches, barrier island navigation, and the distinctive challenges of coastal weather patterns that develop highly adaptable pilots.
