Academy of Aviation Farmingdale Campus Information & Highlights

The Farmingdale campus may be our smallest in size, but as our first location and the headquarters of the Academy, it's the heart and soul of what we do. Located at Republic Airport, which stands as the third busiest airport in New York, this campus is situated within the airspace of both John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, positioning it as a perfect place for a flight school.

With a diverse and vibrant student body, it's a lively spot where students can really dive into the aviation lifestyle.

The campus is about 7,000 square feet and is split between academic facilities in the Main Terminal and maintenance operations in the South Hangar. The terminal also has common areas with tables and chairs where students and staff can meet for one-on-one or group sessions.

Here’s what the campus includes:

• An 8-seat classroom with a Smart Board and aviation training tools. It holds up to 15 students per session, but we can access larger spaces when needed.
• 3 private briefing/debriefing cubicles for small group or individual instruction.
• 1 full-motion, FAA-approved advanced simulator.
• 1 stationary, FAA-approved advanced simulator.
• 2 stationary, FAA-approved BATD simulators.
• 3 FAA-certified written exam testing stations.
• Restrooms on both floors.
• Fuel and maintenance services available as needed.

Our academic operations are on the main floor of the terminal, while maintenance is handled at the South Hangar. We have a fleet of late-model Cessna 172s, Diamond DA42s, and three flight simulators for training here. All routine maintenance is done on-site by our own FAA-approved subsidiary, Heavy Metal Air, a Part 145 Maintenance Repair Operation.
