Ocala, Florida — 30 January to 1 February 2026
The season opens in north-central Florida. Ground instruction runs on the Friday; flight sessions in your own aircraft follow on the Saturday and Sunday, each paired with an instructor matched to your Mooney model.
The Ocala program is the Foundation’s usual January fixture and it fills from the Southeast and the Eastern Seaboard. Hotel arrangements and the group rate are handled by the Foundation and sent to enrolled students ahead of the weekend.
What the weekend covers
Friday is a full day of ground school — weight and balance, electrical systems, handling emergencies, avionics integration, GPS procedures, approach chart interpretation, Mooney systems and maintenance, decision-making and risk management, and high-performance engine management and leaning. Saturday and Sunday are flying, with the classroom time between sessions spent on preflight and systems review and on accident review and prevention.
Ground instruction qualifies for credit in the FAA WINGS Program. Pilots who meet the requirements complete a flight review, and instrument-rated pilots who meet the requirements complete an IPC.
Cancellation and refunds
The Foundation applies a tiered refund window depending on how long before the programme a cancellation arrives. Those thresholds are visible in the Foundation’s own cancellation correspondence but have never been written down as a policy, so this demonstration does not state figures it cannot source. Staff see the cancellation date and the window on the registration record and decide; a written policy is an open question for the Foundation.
