Cessna over the TerrazoFly with us
Cessna over AcademyThe Academy Aero Club has planes for you to fly! Having completed our mission of teaching IFT to cadets, there are now 9 aircraft available as well as Flight Instructors. Aircraft include one T-41C, and 8 Cessna 172s of various vintages. The Aero Club is FAA part 141 approved for private pilot, and instrument certificates, and we are currently in the process of approval for our commercial pilot course. All of our Flight Instructors are highly trained professionals, who are all FAA certified. At the club a member can earn a basic private pilot certificate, or go on for more advanced certificates and ratings. If you already are a FAA certificated pilot, our aircraft are for rent, for personal use. Whether you are a pilot with several thousand hours or a beginner starting at zero, we invite you to check us out. Feel free to stop by at any time to ask questions, see our operations, or schedule an introductory flight. The Aero Club is conveniently located at the Academy Airfield, 9222 Airfield Dr., and is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Flying goes on 7 days a week. Certain eligibility requirements apply. Call 333-4542/4423 for more information.
