Multi-Engine Training in Oxnard. Shorter Time. Lower Cost.
Multi-engine add-on, MEI and time building at our dedicated twin campus at Oxnard Airport (KOXR).
Twin training is billed by the hour, so we built a place where more of every hour is spent flying.
Flown in our GTN 750-equipped Beechcraft Duchess, with One Source Aviation instructors.
KOXR: More Flying, Less Waiting
We opened a dedicated twin campus at Oxnard Airport for one reason: to get the most out of every multi-engine hour. Twin time is billed by the hour, and Oxnard keeps the ground portion short.
- Quick start: a short taxi from engine start to takeoff.
- Close practice area: less of the hour spent getting to and from the practice area.
- More training per hour: more of each lesson goes to engine-out procedures, single-engine approaches and Vmc work.
More of your money goes into training, and less into sitting on the ramp with both engines running.
Training with Us at Van Nuys?
Van Nuys is home base for your primary, instrument and commercial training. When you’re ready for twins, Oxnard is where we fly them. Same school, same standards, one team to plan it with.

Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI)
Add the multi-engine instructor rating and start teaching in twins. Call (818) 378-0141 for prerequisites and course length.
Multi-Engine Time Building
Build the multi-engine time employers and insurers look for. Earning the rating is the first step. Many employers look for 50 hours or more of multi-engine time, and many insurers set multi-engine minimums before you can act as pilot in command of a twin.
This is cross-country flying, not checkride prep. You’ll fly with an instructor you enjoy flying with, to airports you’ve always wanted to visit: a coastal field, a mountain destination, a trip you’ve been saving for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pass a written test?
No. The add-on has no knowledge test. Training ends with the practical test (checkride).
I train at Van Nuys. Why fly twins at Oxnard?
Twin time is billed by the hour, and Oxnard keeps the ground portion short, so more of each hour is training. Your other training can stay right where it is.
Do I have to be a One Source Aviation student?
No. Pilots from other schools and flying clubs are welcome.
What will I fly?
A GTN 750-equipped Beechcraft Duchess.
Can I build multi-engine time after the add-on?
Yes. Our time-building program pairs you with an instructor for cross-country flying toward employer, insurance and ownership minimums.
