Obirin Arizona Office

College of Aviation Flight Operations Course (Pilot Training) students study abroad for flight training and to improve their English proficiency. To support these students and coordinate and negotiate training content with destinations, we have established the J. F. Oberlin Arizona office within the training site in Arizona, USA.

In the Flight Operations course, students obtain a pilot's license (private, commercial, instrument rating, etc.) in the country they are visiting during their trip, and then use that as a basis to obtain a Japanese pilot's license (commercial, instrument rating) upon their return to Japan. The goal is not simply to learn piloting skills and knowledge, but also to develop an awareness of the responsibility of flying with many lives in their hands, and to cultivate self-reliant individuals who can strive towards high goals they set for themselves. In addition to dedicated OGFA staff, university faculty members are stationed at the office on a rotating basis as "counselors," providing advice on everything from classes and flight training to daily life, and even participating in student meetings to offer various guidance and lead students towards becoming world-class professional pilots.

At the office, you can input daily training progress into the computer, handle necessary procedures, get advice on training-related concerns, and exchange information with dedicated staff regarding contracted services and universities. It's also a place where you can drop by before or after training, have a pleasant conversation with the dedicated staff, and take a breather.
