Flying Academy Miami is located at the Miami Executive Airport, only 13 miles from downtown. A high volume of flights combined with the tropical Florida weather means you can get prepared for commercial flying more quickly and without interruptions.
Flying Academy also operates online classrooms, so you can get a head start before leaving home. You can take a free e-learning trial as a taster or book an hour in the air with a Discovery Flight. This includes a theory-based Introduction to Aviation training session, plus instruction on route planning, preflight and postflight duties, and aircraft inspections.
At between $225 and $285, Discovery flight prices are affordable, meaning you can sample life in the cockpit of a Cessna 152, 172, or 172 G1000 without making a huge financial commitment.
If you’re wondering how to fund your flying dream, Flying Academy Miami has links on the website to Flight Training Finance and Stratus Financial, making it simple to apply for your place. Time building packages are a specialty here, with 25, 50, and 100-hour options for private pilots. They also offer accelerated programs, instrument rating, multi-engine landing, flight instructor courses and more.
