About Us

Florida Aviation Academy is a Professional Pilot training school. In addition to the Ab Initio Programs such as Zero hours to King Air B200 Turbine certified in 18 weeks, we also offer accelerated individual courses that range from the Private Pilot, all the way to the “masters” of pilot licenses, the Airline Transport Pilot…

The regulations of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (Now called department of Homeland Security) requires most foreign students to attend aviation-flight-training programs on M-1 student visas. Florida Aviation Academy is authorized under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant alien students and will issue a form I-20M-N, which will certify an applicant’s eligibility, only after student’s application for admission and TSA (Transportation Security Administration) preliminary approvals have been received and all required documentation is on file.

Whether flying for business or pleasure, our goal is to present you with a well planned program in a structured yet friendly environment, to provide you with the highest quality and safest flight training possible and to provide the highest standards of support and guidance throughout your training.

As our pledge to you, our customer, we will endeavor to continue to achieve this goal. Everything we do is a function of this mission.

Aircraft

Florida Aviation Academy uses Cessna, Piper and Beechcraft aircraft for its primary and advanced training. Each aircraft features an intercom system and is properly equipped for the function it serves; including most, which are outfitted with dual navigation/communication receivers, ADF and DME. Advanced subjects such as cockpit resource management, glass cockpits and flight management systems are covered in Level B King Air C90 Simulator.

In our ongoing effort to provide the safest possible learning environment, we decided to purchase and own the training aircraft we use and employ our own maintenance technicians.

This simple but critically important philosophical approach allows us to ensure that all of our aircraft are strictly maintained in accordance with all regulations and to the highest airworthiness standards. We firmly believe that safety never costs as much as it saves. Our safety record speaks for itself.

We feature the Frasca 141 ground trainers. As one of the nations leading designers of aircraft simulators, this highly effective and technologically advanced trainer provides the utmost in reliability, realism and flexibility.

In addition to these unparalleled features, we also provide a library of reference materials including periodicals and video cassettes to enhance your educational experience.
