Orlando, Fla. is becoming a major hub and resource center for corporate aviation, and for good reason. Beyond Wichita, the greater Orlando area has one of the highest concentrations of corporate aircraft crew initial and recurrent training centers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Overall, it has one of the denser concentrations of top-notch FBOs in the continental U.S.
From getting type-rated in a Citation to going inverted in a World War II-vintage
P-51 Mustang to turning green in a “no motion” Air Tractor simulator, Orlando offers something for virtually every pilot and in many ways has become corporate aviation’s Disney World. The montage of local maintenance facilities enables many flight departments to schedule their pilot and technician training concurrent with significant aircraft maintenance all at the same place. Three large airports–Orlando International, Orlando Executive and Kissimmee–are located within a 15-mile radius of Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center. Farther north, Sanford provides a secondary international gateway.
