PHOENIX GOODYEAR AIRPORT, USA

By way of complete contrast to the UK in terms of climate and scenery, OAA Goodyear at Phoenix Goodyear airport is in the heart of the Arizona desert; 20 miles to the West of the Phoenix Metropolis – taking full advantage of the dry and consistent weather for the key foundation stages of our airline pilot training courses.  Continuity of training is a key characteristic for providing a firm foundation to any training course.

This centre is also a full campus facility designed to enable complete focus upon professional pilot training - with all training and recreational facilities within a 2-minute walk of our halls of residence.  Some of the 102 single study bedrooms even have the thrill of actually overlooking the main airport runway!   The airport, owned by the City of Phoenix is also used by airliner traffic arriving and departing for major maintenance checks for US Airways and FEDEX.  In addition, we have our own private airport at Mobile (15 miles South of Goodyear) which is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and used for circuit training and the more advanced stages of instrument approach training.

Our sports and recreational facilities are magnificent with a choice of 2 swimming pools, 4 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, a volleyball court and a fully equipped weights room.  On the social scene, we have 5 student lounges with satellite TV, a music room equipped with a drum kit and a piano, 2 pool tables, table football and a huge barbeque area which is used regularly for social events around the pool.  Wireless internet access is available throughout the training centre.
