Key Highlights
Description
This is a well-established flight school located in Pennsylvania, founded ten years ago and SBA-approved. It operates as a certificated flight training center under 14 CFR 49 141, offering comprehensive pilot training for hobbyists and aspiring professional pilots. The school has strong partnerships with local community colleges, integrating its aviation services into their curricula. Students often utilize financial aid and state subsidies, with opportunities to earn degrees while training. The business holds an A031 Authorization for higher education partnerships and collaborates with regional carriers like Republic Airways and NetJets to train future commercial pilots. With 11 employees, including 7 instructors, the school is well-positioned to capitalize on the projected 15-year pilot shortage. The owners are motivated to retire and willing to support the transition. Courses offered include Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Multi-engine Rating, Complex Aircraft, and CFI/CFII.
