Academy of Aviation: A Legacy of Passion, A Future of Possibility
Founded in 1998 by a passionate freelance instructor who believed in putting
students first - even driving them to and from lessons - the Academy of Aviation was
built on heart, hustle, and a deep love for flight. What began as a one-man
operation quickly grew into a full-fledged school, rooted in personal attention,
innovation, and a mission to make aviation accessible to all.
Over the years, we've expanded with purpose - from FAA Part 141 certification and
veteran training approvals, to strategic campuses across New York, North Carolina, Georgia, and
Florida. We've weathered industry challenges, built our own FAA-certified repair
station to keep costs low, and even helped manage and revitalize airports - all while
staying true to our core values.
We became the first vocational flight school licensed by New York State, took bold
steps during the pandemic to serve resilient aviation communities, and continue
leading the way with national and international accreditations. Every move we make
is driven by one goal: student success.
Now as we look forward, we're reimagining flight training with immersive
experiences like our Atlanta-based Multi-Academy and Kissimmee's Instructor Academy.
At Academy of Aviation, you're not just earning your wings - you're joining a legacy
of excellence and a future built on community.
